Using it's concept, it is found that the slope of the function is of -4.

<h3>What is the slope of a function?</h3>

The slope of a function is given by the <u>change in the output of the function divided by the change in the input</u>.

For this problem, in 9 months, his weight changed from 265 pounds to 229 pounds, hence it changed -36 pounds, which means that the slope is of:

m = -36/9 = -4.

Suppose the average yearly salary of an individual whose final degree is a​ master's is ​$46 thousand less than twice that of an
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The average sallary of a Master's is 60 thousand and of a Bachellor's is 53 thousand.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we first need to attribute variables to the unkown quantities. We will call the average salary of Master's "x" and the average salary of a Bachellor's "y". The first information the problem gives us is:

x = 2*y - 46

The second one is:

x + y = 113

We now have two equations and two variables, so we can solve the system. To do that we will use the value for x from the first equation on the second one. We have:

2*y - 46 + y = 113

3*y = 113 + 46

3*y = 159

y = 159/3 = 53

x = 2*(53) - 46 = 60

The average sallary of a Master's is 60 thousand and of a Bachellor's is 53 thousand.

k0ka [10]
<span>The probability that a house in an urban area will develop a leak is 55​%. if 20 houses are randomly​ selected, what is the probability that none of the houses will develop a​ leak? round to the nearest thousandth.

Use binomial distribution, since probability of developing a leak,  p=0.55 is assumed constant, and
n=20, x=0
and assuming leaks are developed independently between houses,
P(X=x)
=C(n,0)p^x* (1-p)^(n-x)
=C(20,0)0.55^0 * (0.45^20)
=1*1*0.45^20
=1.159*10^(-7)
=0.000

<u>Algebra I</u>

  • Terms/Coefficients
  • Coordinates (x, y)
  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define Systems</u>

6x - 5y = 15

x = y + 3

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>

<em>Substitution</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                                                                                                  6(y + 3) - 5y = 15
  2. Distribute 6:                                                                                                    6y + 18 - 5y = 15
  3. Combine like terms:                                                                                        y + 18 = 15
  4. [Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 18 on both sides:                     y = -3

<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Define original equation:                                                                               x = y + 3
  2. Substitute in <em>y</em>:                                                                                                   x = -3 + 3
  3. Add:                                                                                                                   x = 0
