What is the equation of a line perpendicularto y=-2/5x-1 that passes through(2,-8)​

Mathematics

Andrews [41]3 years ago

<h2>Answer: y =  ⁵/₂ x - 13   OR  y + 8 =  ⁵/₂ x - 5 </h2>

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

<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>

When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are <em>negative-reciprocal</em>s of each other.

⇒  if the slope of this line = - ²/₅

      then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = ⁵/₂

<u>Determine the equation</u>

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:

                                ⇒  y - (-8) =  ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

                                   ∴  y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:

                  since   y + 8 =  ⁵/₂ (x - 2)

                                    y =  ⁵/₂ x - 13

How would you describe the shape of the normal distribution?
RUDIKE [14]

The shape of the normal distribution is bell shape and it is also symmetrical from the left and right sides about the origins (mean).

What is a normal distribution?

A normal distribution is a function on some random variables, which represent the set of all those random variables in a symmetrical bell shape about the mean value.

It shows that the probability of occurrence of some data which is distributed over a function is more at or around the mean.

It is also known as probability distribution curve.

The normal distribution has two parameters:

  • Mean
  • Standard deviation

What is the shape of the normal distribution?

The normal distribution curve is at it's peak at the mean value. This shows that the probability of occurrence of the data or value is more concentrated or distributed about the mean. It is also symmetric about the mean. As we more further from the mean, we see that the normal distribution curve gradually decreases showing that the probability of occurrence of the data or the values decreases. The shape that this curve forms is like a bell-shaped. So the shape of normal distribution is bell shape.

Hence, the shape of the normal distribution is bell shape and it is also symmetrical from the left and right sides about the origins (mean).

2(x-3) = (x-1) + 7<br><br> Please show your steps!!
andre [41]
Simplify the equation.

First, distribute the 2 in the left side of the equation.
Resulting in: 2x-6 = (x-1) + 7

Second, remove the parentheses form the right side of the equation (there is nothing to distribute there).
Resulting in: x - 1 + 7

Now simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting the 1 from the 7.
Resulting in: x + 6

Our goal is to isolate the x to the left side, and the numerals to the right side.
With that in mind, add the 6 (from the right side) to both sides. This cancels out the 6 on the right side.
Resulting in: 2x = 12

Lastly, in order to fully isolate the variable (x), we divide both sides by 2.
Resulting in: x = 6

Hope this helps.

In the following expression, both AAA and BBB are variables that can take positive values.

The value to increase is keeping A constant and decreasing the value of B

<h3>What are fractions?</h3>

Fractions are written as a ratio of two integers. For instance a.b is a fraction where a and b are integers.

In the fraction a/b, the numerator is and the denominator is b. If the value of the denominator is decreasing the fraction will increase but if the value of the denominator is increasing the fraction will decrease.

Given the expression A + 2/B, the higher the value of B provided such that that A is constant, the higher the expression. Hence the expression that will cause the value to increase is keeping A constant and decreasing the value of B

If you take 5 quizzes and get scores of 95%, 95%, 80%, 85%, and 75%, how would you find your mean quiz score?
avanturin [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, to find the mean of some scores, you must add all the scores together, then you must divide by the number of scores you added. In this case, you would divide by four, because you had four numbers you added to gether.
