Answer: y = 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in standard form:

x+2y=5

2y = -x + 5

y = -(1/2)x + (5/2)

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the reference line slope, -(1/2), here. The new slope would be 2. The y-intercept, (5/2), will change, so we'll just use b for the new y-intercept, and calculate it later:

y = 2x +b

We know that point (3,7) lies on the new line (it is a solution to the equation), so we can use this point to find the new y-intercept, b.

7 = 2*3 + b

b = 1

The perpendicular line is y = 2x + 1, and goes through point (3,7)

Answer:

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 27 - 1 = 26

99% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 26 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of $1 - \frac{1 - 0.99}{2} = 0.995$ . So we have T = 2.7787.

The margin of error is:

$M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.7787\frac{6.9}{\sqrt{27}} = 3.7$

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 4.9 - 3.7 = 1.2.

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 4.9 + 3.7 = 8.6.

The 99% confidence interval for the population mean reduction in anxiety was (1.2, 8.6).

< 1 and < 2 are vertical angles...because they are opposite angles made by two intersecting lines
< 3 and < 4 are adjacent....because they have a common side and a common vertex
