Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (-2, 9) and the linear equation of a horizontal line, y = 6:

The linear equation of a horizontal line with a slope of zero (m = 0) is y = b, for which the y-intercept is (0, b). Perpendicular lines comprise of the intersection of two lines forming 90° angles.

Since we are given the equation of a horizontal line, then we can assume that the line that intersects a horizontal line must be a vertical line in order to form perpendicular lines.

The linear equation of a vertical line with an undefined slope is x = a, for which the x-intercept is (a, 0). Vertical lines have an undefined slope because these lines do not have any horizontal change. Thus, when you try to solve for its slope, the denominator will have a difference of 0, making the mathematical operation undefined.

We can use the x-coordinate of the given point, (-2, 9), to formulate an equation for a vertical line: x = -2.

Therefore, the equation of the line that goes through y = 6 is x = -2.

Attached is a screenshot of the graph of both equations, y = 6 and x = -2, showing that their intersection form 90° angles, making them perpendicular lines.

Determine the solution set of (2x - 5)2 = 11.

zhenek [66]

I think what you meant was

(2x - 5)² = 11 -- (1)

Square root both sides of (1), i.e.

√(2x - 5)² = ± √11 -- (2)

From (2), we have

2x - 5 = ± √11 -- (3)

By adding 5 to both sides in (3), we have

2x = 5 ± √11 -- (4)

Divide both sides of (4) by 2, and we obtain

x = (5 ± √11)/2 -- (5)

From (5), the solution set of (1) is

x = (5 + √11)/2, (5 - √11)/2 ...Ans.

A landlord wants to know the average income of his tenants. He selects three of his eight apartment complexes and collects income information from several randomly chosen tenants within the selected complexes.

A health agency needs to assess the performance of hospitals in a region but does not have the resources to evaluate each hospital. To reduce costs, the agency selects 5 of the 23 hospitals in the region and samples data related to performance from randomly chosen days and times.

Answer: Options D and E.

Explanation:

Cluster sampling is a sampling plan used when mutually homogeneous yet internally heterogeneous groupings are evident in a statistical population. It is often used in marketing research. In this sampling plan, the total population is divided into these groups and a simple random sample of the groups is selected.

Stratified sampling is a probability sampling technique wherein the researcher divides the entire population into different subgroups or strata, then selects the final subjects proportionally from the different strata.
