Answer:
y = -3x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
A perpendicular line has a slope that is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. When the equation starts out in standard form, a line with negative reciprocal slope can be written by swapping the x- and y-coefficients and negating one of them.
The given x- and y-coefficients have the ratio 1:-3, so we can use the coefficients 3 and 1 for our purpose.
The usual process of making the line go through a given point can be used. That is, we can translate the line from the origin to the desired point by subtracting the point coordinates from x and y. Then we have ...
3(x+3) +(y-5) = 0

This is "an" equation. It is in no particularly recognizable form. It can be rearranged to the form y = mx + b:
3x +9 +y -5 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
y = -3x -4 . . . . . subtract terms that are not "y"
Answer:
19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo
Step-by-step explanation:
Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
In this question, we have that:
What percentage of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo?
This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 21.4.
has a pvalue of 0.8023
1 - 0.8023 = 0.1977
19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo
