Answer:

y = −2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

y = −2x + 8, the answer is this because, in order to find the slope, you must use the formula y2-y1/x2-x1, and the y-intercept is found by using the formula y=mx+b, in which b is the y-intercept which leads to the awnser, y = −2x + 8.

Hi! Your answer is y = −2x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the slope, you have to use y2-y1/x2-x1 for the formula. The y-intercept can be found by using the formula y=mx+b. This means b is the y-intercept which makes the answer: y = −2x + 8.

Hope this helps! Have a good day :)

bixtya [17]

Answer:

They can either decrease the confidence level or increase the sample size, that is, survey more students.

Step-by-step explanation:

The width of a confidence interval is given by:

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which z is the critical value correponding to the confidence level(higher confidence level, higher z is), $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

The students realize that this interval contains a large margin of error. What can they do to make a narrower interval?

Looking at the formula for M, they can either decrease the confidence level or increase the sample size, that is, survey more students.

It costs $3.56 to buy a pack of pencils. Which of the following equations shows the amount of money needed, x, to buy k packs of

FrozenT [24]

Well, since we know $3.65 is how much ONE PACK of pencil costs, and k represents the packs of pencils PURCHASED, and x represents the COST per pack, your answer would be A. x = 3.65k. This is because to find out the total cost (x) of k amount of packs, you would multiply the cost (3.65) times k, (known as 3.65k), which would be expressed as x = 3.65k. =)
Hope I helped! ^-^

Is the following relation linear, quadratic, or cubic? If it is linear, find the equation. Explain your reasoning and include al

Sergio [31]

The given relation is linear. Equation of the linear function; (Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m Or Y= 1/2x +2.

<h3>What is a linear equation?</h3>

A linear equation is an equation that has the variable of the highest power of 1.

The standard form of a linear equation is of the form Ax + B = 0.

Where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

WE have given R = {(x, y) : (2,3), (4,4), (6,5), (8,6), ...}

Let's use these two points to determine both the slope and the equation;

(2, 3), (4,4)

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

Slope= (4-3)/(4-2)

Slope= 1/2

Then Equation of the linear function;

(Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m

(Y-3)/(x-2)= 1/2

2(y-3) = x-2

2y -6 = x-2

2y= x-2+6

2y= x+4

Y= 1/2x +2

Hence, the given relation is linear. Equation of the linear function; (Y-y1)/(x-x1)= m Or Y= 1/2x +2.
