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

babunello [35]

Answer:

x   ≥ -4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 2 ≤ 14

Subtract 2 from each side

-3x+2-2  ≤ 14-2

-3x  ≤ 12

Divide each side by -3 .  Remember that dividing by a negative flips the inequality.

-3x/-3 ≥12/-3

x   ≥ -4

The data below represents the number of desks on each floor of Texter Corporate.
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Box-plot = {54, 65, 69, 73, 76}

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided for the number of desks on each floor of Texter Corporate is as follows:

S = {54, 60, 65, 66, 67, 69, 70, 72, 73, 75, 76}

There are a total of <em>n</em> = 11 floors.  

A boxplot, also known as a box and whisker plot is a method to demonstrate the distribution of a data-set based on the following 5 number summary,

  • Minimum (shown at the bottom of the chart)
  • First Quartile (shown by the bottom line of the box)
  • Median (or the second quartile) (shown as a line in the center of the box)
  • Third Quartile (shown by the top line of the box)
  • Maximum (shown at the top of the chart).

Arrange the data in ascending order as follows:

S': = {54 , 60 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 69 , 70 , 72 , 73 , 75 , 76}

The minimum value is:

Minimum = 54

The maximum value is:

Maximum = 76

As there are odd number of values the median is the middle value.

Median = 6th value = 69

The first quartile is the median of the first half of the data.

S'₁ = {54 , 60 , 65 , 66 , 67}

First quartile = 3rd value = 65

The third quartile is the median of the second half of the data.

S'₂ = {70 , 72 , 73 , 75 , 76}

Third quartile = 3rd value = 73

Thus, summarized data for the box plot is:

Box-plot = {54, 65, 69, 73, 76}

The box plot is attached below.
