Answer:

It is the rate of change (how far it goes up or how far it goes down)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast it is changing. This can be for a straight line -- where the slope tells you exactly how far up (positive slope) or down (negative slope) a line goes while it goes how far across. Slope can also be used for a line tangent to a curve. Or, it can be for a curved line when doing Calculus, where slope is also known as the "derivative" of a function. Either way, think of slope simply as the "rate of change" of a graph

Example: if you have a slope of 2 your equation would be y=2x+1

You would always do rise over run. rise over run means when you put your slope in a fraction the numerator would always go up or down and the denominator would be run and run means you would go left or right. it all depends on if it is positive or negative.

Hope this helps good luck @(^_^)@

Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of a circle is pie radius ^2. Its asking for the surface area. So I got C because you do pie 18^2 and gets you approximately 1017. Although A also says 18 as the radius, it says meters. After you solve a surface area problem you do square meters or square units. For volume you have to use units cubed or units ^3. Make sure to always do this or your teacher might count you as wrong.

Y = 5x - 8 y = 4x - 7

stealth61 [152]

ANSWER

(1,-3)

EXPLANATION

The given equations are:

y = 5x - 8

y = 4x - 7

We equate the two equations to get:

5x - 8=4x - 7

Group similar terms:

5x - 4x=-7+8

Simplify bottom sides

x=1

Put x=-15 into the first equation:

y=5(1)-8

y=-3

(1,-3)

The solution is (1,-3)

Type the expression that results from the following series of steps: Start with y times by 4 then add 9.

xenn [34]

Answer:

4y + 9

Step-by-step explanation:

"y times 4" means 4y because 4*y = 4y

And then "add 9."

Which would be 4y + 9.

Answer:

169 sq. cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface Area

SA (base) + SA (2 sides) + SA (2 faces)
9 × 5 + 2 × 7 × 5 + 1/2 × 2 × 6 × 9
45 + 70 + 54
169 sq. cm.

The government of Preon (a small island nation) was voted in at the last election with 58% of the votes. That was 2 years ago, a

Answer:

a) $z=\frac{0.684 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{114}}}=2.250$

b) $p_v =2*P(z>2.250)=0.0244$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that $p_v$ we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given and notation

n=114 represent the random sample taken

$\hat p=0.684$ estimated proportion of people that their approval rating might have changed

$p_o=0.58$ is the value that we want to test

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the significance level

Confidence=95% or 0.95

z would represent the statistic (variable of interest)

$p_v$ represent the p value (variable of interest)

Hypothesis

We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to test the claim that true proportion of people that their approval rating might have changed is 0.58 or no.:

Null hypothesis: $p=0.58$

Alternative hypothesis: $p \neq 0.58$

Part a

$z=\frac{\hat p -p_o}{\sqrt{\frac{p_o (1-p_o)}{n}}}$ (1)

Calculate the statistic

Since we have all the info requires we can replace in formula (1) like this:

$z=\frac{0.684 -0.58}{\sqrt{\frac{0.58(1-0.58)}{114}}}=2.250$

Part b: Statistical decision

The significance level provided $\alpha=0.05$ . The next step would be calculate the p value for this test.

Since is a bilateral test the p value would be:

$p_v =2*P(z>2.250)=0.0244$

If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that $p_v$ we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis at 5% of significance.
