The Environmental Protection Agency sets limits on the maximum allowable concentration of certain chemicals in drinking water. For the substance PCB, the limit was set at 5 ppm (parts per million). The PCB level is unsafe if it is greater than 5 ppm. A random sample of 36 water specimens from the same well results in a mean PCB concentration of 5.2 ppm with standard deviation of 0.6 ppm. Does the data substantiate that the water is unsafe?

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)

step-by-step explanation:

points a and b are equidistant from the desired line, so the line you find by using them will go through point r.

using points other than a and b will give the desired line only if they are equidistant from r. if they are randomly located, the perpendicular line you create will not necessarily go through point r, hence will not be a solution to the problem.
