What is the slope of the equation of 3x+9y=-9

To solve this, you must put the equation in slope-intercept form, which is y=mx+b.
To do this, isolate y.

First, subtract 3x from both sides.
3x + 9y = -9
3x + 9y - 3x = 9y
-9 - 3x = -9 - 3x
9y = -9 - 3x

Now, divide both sides by 9.
9y = -9 - 3x
9y / 9 = y
-9 / 9 = -1
-3x / 9 = -0.33x = -1/3x
y = -1 - 1/3x

In y = mx + b form:
y = -1/3x - 1

In slope intercept form, m is the slope.
In our answer, -1/3 is m, so it is the slope.

So the final answer is that the slope is -1/3.

Hope this helps!

Using the simple random sample of weights of women from a data set, we obtain these sample statistics: nequals45 and x overbar

Tomtit [17]

Answer: (141.1, 156.48)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given sample statistics : $n=45$

$\overline{x}=148.79\text{ lb}$

$\sigma=31.37\text{ lb}$

a) We know that the best point estimate of the population mean is the sample mean.

Therefore, the best point estimate of the mean weight of all women = $\mu=148.79\text{ lb}$

b) The confidence interval for the population mean is given by :-

$\mu\ \pm E$ , where E is the margin of error.

Formula for Margin of error :-

$z_{\alpha/2}\times\dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Given : Significance level : $\alpha=1-0.90=0.1$

Critical value : $z_{\alpha/2}=z_{0.05}=\pm1.645$

Margin of error : $E=1.645\times\dfrac{31.37}{\sqrt{45}}\approx 7.69$

Now, the 90% confidence interval for the population mean will be :-

$148.79\ \pm\ 7.69 =(148.79-7.69\ ,\ 148.79+7.69)=(141.1,\ 156.48)$

Hence, the 90% confidence interval estimate of the mean weight of all women= (141.1, 156.48)
