Answer:

$y = -8x + 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, plug in the point and slope into the slope-intercept equation format:
$y=mx+b$

When lines are parallel to one another, their slopes are the same. But they have different y-intercepts. To explain further, slope is the angle of measure of a line from a horizontal standpoint and knowing that parallel angles must have the same angle, it can be concluded that parallel lines would have the same slope or in other words, an equal slope.

Now solving, use algebraic concepts:

11 = -8(-1) +b (Now solve for b)

11 = 8 + b (Subtract 8 from both sides) (Use the "Right" to "Left")

-8 -8

3 = b (Switch terms)

b = 3

Now let's write the equation with only slope and y-intercept.

Getting the result of:

y = -8x + 3

The width of each of five continuous classes in a frequency distribution is 5 and the lower class-limit of the lowest class is 1

Helga [31]

Let x and y be the upper and lower class limit of frequency distribution.

Given, width of the class = 5

⇒ x-y= 5 …

Also, given lower class (y) = 10 On putting y = 10, we get

x – 10= 5 ⇒ x = 15 So, the upper class limit of the lowest class is 15

Hence, the upper class limit of the highest class

=(Number of continuous classes x Class width + Lower class limit of the lowest class)

= 5 x 5+10 = 25+10=35

Hence,’the upper class limit of the highest class is 35.

<em><u>Alternate Method</u></em><em><u>.</u></em>

After finding the upper class limit of the lowest class, the five continuous classes in a frequency distribution with width 5 are 10-15,15-20, 20-25, 25-30 and 30-35.

Thus, the highest class is 30-35..

<h3>Hence, the upper limit of this class is 35.</h3>
