Answer:

y = x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope.

<u>Parallel lines have the same slope.</u> That means that the line we are seeking is going to have the same slope as line x - y = 7.

To find the slope of the line x - y = 7 let's change it to the slope-intercept form.

<u>Slope-Intercept Form</u>

y = mx + b

m ... slope

b ... y-intercept

Let's change the equation of the parallel line to slope-intercept form (isolate y).

x - y = 7

Add y on both sides.

x - y + y = 7 + y

x = 7 + y

Subtract 7 on both sides.

x - 7 = 7 + y - 7

x - 7 = y

y = x - 7

Let's read the slope from the equation.

Instead of y = x - 7 we can write y = 1x -7.

Now it's obvious that m (slope) is 1.

m = 1

So far, our equation of the line is:

y = 1x + b

which is te same as

y = x + b

Step 2: Find y-intercept.

To find out y-intercept (b), we substitiute the point (-7, -6) in the equation. Points are in form (x, y) so -7 is x and -6 is y.

y = x + b

-6 = -7 + b

Solve for b.

1 = b

Step 3: Substitute slope and y-intercept in general formula for slope-intercept form of the line.

Now substitute m and b in slope-intercept form y = mx + b.

m = 1

b = 1

Equation of the line:

y = x + 1

Suppose the manager of a gas station monitors how many bags of ice he sells daily along with recording the highest temperature e
Vlad1618 [11]

Our model is

\hat{y} = 2.17 x + -114.05

When x=82 degrees F,

\hat{y} = 2.17 (82) + -114.05 = 63.89

We round up to

Answer: 64 bags

Not sure why it says y^=34 in the question; I'm ignoring that.

The residual is the difference between the actual y and the predicted y,

e = y - \hat{y} = 66 - 64 = 2

Answer: 2

The product of a number and four is at most -10
Ronch [10]
The product (multiply) of a number (x) and four (4) is at most (≤) -10.

4x ≤ -10

To solve this, divide both sides by 4

x ≤ -2\frac{1}{2}

Please help I don't understand this very well<br>*picture*​
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The inequality is 9 less than and equal to 5

The marked area on the line is numbers all below 5 which covers the less than and since it stop directly at 5 it's going to be equal to that as well
