Answer:

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

y - 2x + 7

Coordinates = (5,8)

Find:

Perpendicular equation

Computation:

y = mx + c

y - 2x + 7

y = 2x - 7

So,

m = 2

The negative reciprocal of 2 is -1/2

So,

For,

Coordinates = (5,8)

y = mx + c

8 = (-1/2)(5) + c

8 = -5/2 + c

c = 8 + 5/2

c = 21 /2

So,

y = mx + c

y = (-1/2)x + 21/2

Can anybody help me with this? <br> This question is confusing and I don't get it.

Answer:

JH = 8, GH = 12, and GJ = 10.6

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Midsegment Theorem, a segment that connects the midpoints of two sides of a triangle is half the length of the third side.

GH = ½ DE

JH = ½ DF

GJ = ½ EF

DE is 24, so GH = 12.

JH is half of DF. Since G is the midpoint of DF, DG is also half of DF. So JH = DG = 8.

GJ is half of EF. Since H is the midpoint of EF, HE is also half of EF. So GJ = HE = 10.6.

vitfil [10]

Answer:

(0.3798, 0.4602)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the true proportion of US adults who believe raising the minimum wage will help the economy. A point estimate for p is $\hat{p}=0.42$ and a good aproximation (because we have a large sample) for the standard deviation of $\hat{p}$ is $\sqrt{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})/n}=\sqrt{0.42(0.58)/1000}=0.0156$ . Therefore, a 99% confidence interval for p is given by $\hat{p}\pm z_{\alpha/2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat{p}(1-\hat{p})}{n}}$ where $\alpha=0.01$ and $z_{\alpha/2}$ is the $\alpha/2$ th quantile of the standard normal distribution, so we have, $0.42\pm z_{0.005}0.0156$ , i.e., $0.42\pm(-2.5758)(0.0156)$ or equivalently (0.3798, 0.4602).
