To find the equation of a perpendicular line, you first need to find the negative reciprocal of the slope given. The slope is -1/3, so the slope of the perpendicular line will be 3
Now we just need to find the y intercept using the point (3, 2) and you can plug the coordinates in and then solve for b. Let's see what that looks like.
y=3x+b
2=3*(3)+b
2=9+b
-7=b So now we know the y-intercept and slope. We just put them together now
y=3x-7
Answer:
Option D
Step-by-step explanation:
A reporter collects a random sample of 50 runners from all the runners who finished the Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run in 2009 and constructs a 99% confidence interval for the true mean finish time to be (86.05, 99.38) minutes.
Assuming the reporter performed the calculations correctly, which of the following statements are appropriate interpretations of this confidence interval?
We can expect that 99% of confidence intervals created using the same method the reporter used will contain the true mean run time for runners of this race.
