Answer:

y = -3x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the reciprocal slope since it is perpendicular.  Slope of the other line is 1/3 so the slope for our new equation is -3.  

Plug information into point-slope equation

(y - y1) = m (x-x1)

y - 2 = -3 (x-4)

Simplify if needed

y - 2 = -3x + 12

y = -3x + 14

Answer:

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are opposite and reciprocal. Therefore, the line we are looking for has a -3 slope.

y= -3x+b

Now, we can substitute in the point given to find the intercept.

2= -3(4)+b

2= -12+b

b=14

Finally, put in everything we've found to finish the equation.

y= -3x+14

For a perfectly symmetrical distribution with a mean of 50, what is the value of the median?
Lelechka [254]

In a set of data, if the data is perfectly symmetrical then the mean is equal to the median. In this case, the median would be 50.

For example, consider the data set: {25, 50, 75}

The mean is going to be 50 because \frac{25+50+75}{3} = 50

The median is also 50 because that is the middle number when ordered numerically.

Hope this helped! Let me know if you have any more questions.

What is the value of x<br><br> Triangle with sides 10 6 x-6
Grace [21]
Given that the triangle is a right angled triangle, to solve for x we shall use the Pythagorean theorem given by:
c^2=a^2+b^2
where:
c is the hypotenuse
a and b are the legs.
c=10
a=6
b=(x-6)
thus plugging the values in the equation and solving for x we get:
10^2=6^2+(x-6)^2
100=36+x^2-12x+36
100=x^2-12x+72
0=x^2-12x-28
factoring the above we get:
0=(x+2)(x-14)
hence
x=-2 or x=14
given that there is no negative distance then
x=14
thus the value of x is 14

How much simple interest is earned on $4,000 in 3 1/2 years at an interest rate of 5.2%?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

$728

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for simple interest is I = PRT, where I = interest earned/paid, P = principal amount deposited or borrowed, R = rate of interest as a decimal, and T = time in years.

I = PRT

I = (4000)(0.052)(3.5)

I = 728
