Write the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 5/6x+1/3 that passes through the point (-5,7)

Possible Answers:

y = 2x + 1

y = 3x + 2

y = 6x – 3

y = 2/3x + 6

y = –1/3x – 4

Correct

y = 3x + 2

Explanation:

Convert the equation to slope intercept form to get y = –1/3x + 2.  The old slope is –1/3 and the new slope is 3.  Perpendicular slopes must be opposite reciprocals of each other:  m1 * m2 = –1

With the new slope, use the slope intercept form and the point to calculate the intercept: y = mx + b or 5 = 3(1) + b, so b = 2

So y = 3x + 2

2.a. Yearly salaries: interval or ratio data

b. Employee numbers: interval or ratio data

c. Area codes : nominal data

d. The ages: interval or ratio data

e. Survey answers: ordinal data

f. IQ index: interval or ratio data

Explanation:

Qualitative data is data in the form of a quality such as a characteristic. It is usually a noun, such as whether a person is fair or dark in complexion. Quantitative data is data in form of quantity such as the amount in dollars of one's salary.

There are four levels of data measurement. They are: nominal data, ordinal data, interval data, and ratio data. Nominal and ordinal data are qualitative data while interval and ratio data are quantitative data.
