Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the slope formula to help complete this question

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-1 = ( -6-0)/(x- -3)

-1 = -6/ (x+3)

Multiply each side by (x+3)

-x-3 = -6

Add 3 to each side

-x -3+3 = -6+3

-x =-3

Multiply each side by -1

x = 3

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The given slope and point can be used to write the equation of the line using the point-slope form. To find x for a given y, we can solve that equation.

__

<h3>setup</h3>

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

For (h, k) = (-3, 0), and m = -1, the equation is ...

  y -0 = -1(x -(-3))

  y = -x -3

We want x when y = -6, so this becomes ...

  -6 = -x -3

<h3>solution</h3>

Adding x+6 to both sides of the equation, we get ...

  (x +6) -6 = -x -3 +(x +6)

  x = 3 . . . . . . . simplify

Katie walked ⅚ mile on Saturday. It took her 10 mins to walk ⅙ mile. She took 1 minute breaks in between each ⅙ mile. How long d
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

it took her 54 mins to finish her walk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

total distance walked by Katie, d = ⁵/₆

time taken to walk ¹/₆ mile = 10 mins

break time = 1 min

There are five ¹/₆ mile in the total distance which is ⁵/₆ miles.

Time for the first  ¹/₆ mile  = 10 mins +

                    break time = 1 min

Time for the second  ¹/₆ mile  = 10 mins +

                     break time = 1 min  

Time for the third  ¹/₆ mile  = 10 mins +

                     break time = 1 min  

Time for the fourth  ¹/₆ mile  = 10 mins +

                     break time = 1 min  

Time for the fifth  ¹/₆ mile  = 10 mins

Total time = 5 (10 mins)  + 4 (1 min)

                 = 50 mins + 4mins

                = 54 mins

Therefore, it took her 54 mins to finish her walk.

Tutor O-Rama claims that their services will raise student SAT math scores at least 50 points. The average score on the math por
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

The score increase was 35 points. They claimed an increase of at least 50 points.  For a significance level of 5%, the z-score for the situation needs to be at smaller than -1.645.  For a significance level of 1%, the z-score needs to be smaller than -2.325

The z score for our situation:  z = (385 - 350)/50 = 0.7

The average score of 385 of Tutor O-Rama scores is not significantly different from the average of the other students SAT scores.  The evidence doesn't support their claim of being effective tutoring.
