Answer:

<h2>          y = ²/₅ x - 3</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Changing to slope-intercept form:

5x + 2y = 12         {subtract 5x from both sides}

2y = -5x + 12         {divide both sides by 2}

y = -⁵/₂ x + 6

y=m₁x+b₁   ⊥   y=m₂x+b₂   ⇔    m₁×m₂ = -1

{Two lines are perpendicular if the product of theirs slopes is equal -1}

y =-⁵/₂ x + 1    ⇒     m₁ =  -⁵/₂

-⁵/₂× m₂ = -1      ⇒   m₂ = ²/₅

So, any line perpendicular to 5x + 2y = 12 must have slope m =²/₅

Alona [7]

Answer:

It is 91% more likely that the tree was atmost 500 yards from the river.

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We are given with distance and height of 100 young trees near a river.

From that table, in total there are 55 trees which grow more than 3 ft during the year.

And among those 55 trees, 50 trees are atmost 50 yards from river.

Hence it is ≈91% more likely that the tree was atmost 50 yards from the river.
