Answer:

a) the midpoint is (1.5, 2.5)

b) the line is y = -(7/3)*x + 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

Suppose we have two values, A and B, the mid-value between A and B is:

(A + B)/2

Now, if we have a segment with endpoints (a, b) and (c, d), the midpoint will be in the mid-value of the x-components and the mid-value of the y-components, this means that the midpoint is:

( (c + a)/2, (b + d)/2)

a) Then if the endpoints of the segment are (-2, 1) and (5, 4), the midpoint of this segment will be:

( (-2 + 5)/2, (1 + 4)/2) = (3/2, 5/2) = (1.5, 2,5)

The midpoint of the segment is (1.5, 2.5)

b)

Now we want to find the equation of a perpendicular line to our segment, that passes through the point (1.5, 2.5).

First, if we have a line:

y = a*x + b

A perpendicular line to this one will have a slope equal to -(1/a)

So the first thing we need to do is find the slope of the graphed segment.

We know that for a line that passes through the points (a, b) and (c, d) the slope is:

slope = (c - a)/(d - b)

Then the slope of the segment is:

slope = (4 - 1)/(5 - (-2)) = 3/7

Then the slope of the perpendicular line will be:

s = -(7/3)

Then the perpendicular line will be something like:

y = -(7/3)*x + d

Now we want this line to pass through the point (1.5, 2.5), then we can replace the values of this point in the above equation, and solve for d.

2.5 = -(7/3)*1.5 + d

2.5 + (7/3)*1.5 = d = 6

Then the line is:

y = -(7/3)*x + 6

Is the equation y=4x+1 proportional? *<br> Yes<br> No
Mumz [18]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 1 is not a direct variation. Direct variations have the form y = kx. So y = 4x would be a direct variation (k=4), but not y = 4x+1

f a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 51 people on this diet, what would be the st
galina1969 [7]

This question is incomplete, the complete question is;

A study on the latest fad diet claimed that the amounts of weight lost by all people on this diet had a mean of 24.6 pounds and a standard deviation of 8.0 pounds.

Step 2 of 2 : If a sampling distribution is created using samples of the amounts of weight lost by 51 people on this diet, what would be the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means? Round to two decimal places, if necessary.

Answer:

the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question,

population mean; μ = 24.6  pounds

Population standard deviation; σ = 8.0 pounds

sample size; n = 51

Now determine the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means.

standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is simply

⇒ population standard deviation / √sample size

= 8.0 / √51

= 8.0 / 7.141428

= 1.120224 ≈ 1.12

Therefore, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution of sample means is 1.12
