The centers for disease control and prevention office on smoking and health (osh) is the lead federal agency responsible for comprehensive tobacco prevention and control. osh was established in 1965 to reduce the death and disease caused by tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke. one of the many responsibilities of the osh is to collect data on tobacco use. the following data show the percentage of adults in the united states who were users of tobacco from 2001 through 2011 ().
year percentage of adults who smoke
2001 26.7
2002 26.4
2003 25.5
2004 24.7
2005 24.7
2006 24.4
2007 23.4
2008 23.9
2009 23.9
2010 21.8
2011 21.4

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)

for this case we have by definition, if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1.

then, given the following line:

so,

we are looking for m_ {2}:

then, the line is given by:

we find "b" replacing the given point:

finally, the equation is:

option c

step-by-step explanation:

infinity is the answer

statement #3: proof- ang is congruent to ang ecd : angles are congruent.  

step-by-step explanation:

1: the missing angles in statement #3  

a.) acb  

reason- the reason why the answer is acb is because angle ecd and angle acb are both the same size *that's what the word congruent means this is really simple.  

2: the missing word in reason #3  

c.) vertical  

reason- the reason why the answer is vertical is because the angles in that diagram on figure 2 is slanted, which is vertical, and the e and a both lay on vertical lines. along with the other's, but e and a are the 2 main points you want to focus on. and c is kind of like your starting point, because c is for both angles, not just one.  

i hope that was and understanding.
