Answer:  y = -(9/5)x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation in standard form:  y = (5/9)x+(8/9).  [y=mx+b]

A line perpendicular to this would have a slope that is the negative inverse of the original slope (5/9), which would make it -(9/5).  The y-intercept would also change, but we don't know the value, yet.  For now, we'll use "b" for the y-intercept.  This results in a perpendicular line:

y = -(9/5)x + b

We can calculate b, the y-intercept, by using the point (-5,8) and solving for b.

8 = -(9/5)*(-5) + b

8 = (9) + b

b = -1

The line perpendicular to 5x−9y=−8 that passes through the point ​(−5​,8​) is

y = -(9/5)x - 1

How do i solve this inequality? -2|3m|+3<-51
9966 [12]

Answer:

m >9  or      m < -9

Step-by-step explanation:

-2|3m|+3<-51

Subtract 3 from each side

-2|3m|+3-3<-51-3

-2|3m|<-54

Divide each side by -2, remembering to flip the inequality

-2|3m|/ -2>-54/-2

|3m|> 27

To get rid of the absolute values, we separate into two inequalities, one as written and one negative, remembering to flip the inequality

3m >27  or     3m <-27

Divide by 3 on each side

3m/3 >27/3  or     3m/3 <-27/3

m >9  or      m < -9

A student is given data that follows a normal distribution. According to the data, the mean amount of time that students spent r
sergejj [24]

Answer:

a. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10- 2 and 10 + 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

He appies the empirical 68-95-99.7 rule, where 68% of the data is expected to be within ne standard deviation from the mean, to the right and to the left.

Half of this (68%/2=34%) will be between the mean and one deviation standard to the right. This is between 10 hours and 10+2=12 hours.

The right answer is:

a. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10- 2 and 10 + 2 hours.

Mrs Johnson has $110 to spend on parking will cost $12 and admission tickets will cost $140 per person including tax
Vaselesa [24]

<em>The answer is Ms Hernandez can bring up to 6 people to the zoo.</em>

<em />

<em>x -  the number of people that she can bring to the zoo</em>

<em>The parking will cost $7: a = 7</em>

<em>Admission tickets will cost $15.50 per person: b = 15.50x</em>

<em>She can spend on parking and admission tickets $100:</em>

a + b ≤ 100

a = 7

b = 15.50x

7 + 15.50x ≤ 100

15.50x ≤ 100 - 7

15.50x ≤ 93

x ≤ 93 / 15.50

x ≤ 6
