write an equation in slope intercept form for the line that is perpendicular to y=-1/4x+2 and passes through the points (-4,3)

8 0

For lines to be perpendicular their slopes must be negative reciprocals of one another, mathematically:

m1*m2=-1, and in this case:

-m/4=-1

-m=-4

m=4, so the slope of the perpendicular line is 4 so we have thus far:

y=4x+b, using point (-4,3) we can solve for the y-intercept, "b"

3=4(-4)+b

3=-16+b

19=b, so our line is:

y=4x+19

The following table gives the science scores and times spent studying for 10 students:

AveGali [126]

There appears to be a positive correlation between the number of hour spent studydng and the score on the test.

When identifying the independent and dependent quantities, we think about what would cause the other to change. The score on the test would not cause the number of hours spent studying to change; rather, the number of hours spent studying would cause the score to change. This means that the number of hours studying would be the independent quantity and the score would be the dependent quantity.

Plotting the graph with the time studying on the x-axis (independent) and the score on the y-axis (dependent) gives you the graph shown. You can see in the image that there seems to be a positive correlation; the data seem to generally be heading upward.
