Answer:

y = -3/2x +11

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to change the equation from standard form to slope form.

y = mx + b

2x-3y=7 --> subtract 2x from both sides

-3y = -2x + 7 --> now divide both sides by -3 to get y by itself

y = 2/3x - 7/3 --> the reason 2/3x is positive is because when there are two negatives it turns to a positive.

now you have to use point slope form y - y1 = m (x - x1)

x1 and y1 would be your point. 2 is x1 and 8 is y1

y - 8 = -3/2 (x - 2) --> the reason that m is -3/2 is because a perpendicular equation is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope

next distribute the -3/2

y-8 = -3/2x + 3 --> and now add 8 to 3 to get why by it self

now you have y = -3/2x + 11

Answer:

x-int (2, 0)

y-int (0, 3)

General Formulas and Concepts:

The y-intercept is the y value when x = 0. Another way to reword that is when the graph crosses the y-axis.
The x-intercept is the x value when y = 0. Another way to reword that is when the graph crosses the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Locate x-intercept

x-int (2, 0)

Step 2: Locate y-intercept

y-int (0, 3)

Morgan uses 2 oz of dog shampoo to bathe her dog each week. After 4 wk, 34 oz of shampoo remains.

Flauer [41]

The amount of shampoo required by Morgan each week to bathe her dog = 2 oz
So
The amount of shampoo required by Morgan in 7 days to bathe her dog = 2 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 4 weeks = 34 oz
So the amount of shampoo remaining after (4 * 7) days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo remaining after 28 days = 34 oz
The amount of shampoo that Morgan uses in 28 days = (2/7) * 28 oz
= 2 * 4 oz
= 8 oz
Then
8 oz of shampoo is required by Morgan in = 28 days
Then
34 oz of shampoo will be used in = (28/8) * 34 days
= 7 * 17 days
= 119 days
So
The total number of
days before the bottle becomes empty = 119 + 8 oz
= 127 days

Brandon earns a rebate each month on his meals and movie tickets. He earns $0.50 for each movie ticket and $2 for each meal. Las

AURORKA [14]

Let ticket be x and meal be y

So $0.50 for each movie ticket = 0.50x

$2 for each meal = 2y

He purchased 22 tickets, so x = 22

0.50 * 22 = $ 11

Now the total value is $25 (with both ticket and meal)

total = t

0.50x + 2y = t

you know x = 22 and t = 25

11 + 2y = 25

Part A)

2y = 25 -11

y = 14/2

y = 7

Number of meal is 7

Part B)

(don't know about part B)

0.50x + 2y = 25

0.50(22) + 2(7) = 25

11 + 14 = 25

25 = 25

Answer:

We conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Bottles of a popular cola drink are supposed to contain 300 ml of cola. The distribution of the contents is normal with standard deviation of 3 ml.

A student who suspects that the bottler is under-filling measures the contents of six bottles. The results are: 299.4, 297.7, 301.0, 298.9, 300.2, 297.0

Let $\mu$ = mean contents of cola bottles.

SO, Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $\mu \geq$ 300 ml {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $\mu$ < 300 ml {means that the mean contents of cola bottles is less than the advertised 300 ml}

The test statistics that will be used here is One-sample z test statistics as we know about the population standard deviation;

T.S. = $\frac{\bar X -\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = sample mean contents of cola bottle = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$ = 299.03 ml

$\sigma$ = population standard deviation = 3 ml

n = sample of bottles = 6

So, test statistics = $\frac{299.03-300}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{6} } }$

= -0.792

Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical value of -1.6449 for left-tailed test. Since our test statistics is more than the critical value of z as -0.792 > -1.6449, so we have insufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will not fall in the rejection region due to which we fail to reject our null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the mean contents of cola bottles is more than or equal to the advertised 300 ml.
