Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

So the y-intercept is not given by your table because there is no x that is listed as 0.

But don't fret; we can still find it.

Let's see if the function is linear by seeing if we have the same slope per two points in the table.

For the first pair ( the points (-2,16) and (1,4) ), x increased by 3 and the y decreased by 12 so the slope there is -12/3=-4.

Now looking at the next pair ( the points (1,4) and (2,0) ), x increased by 1 while y decreased by 4 so the slope is -4/1=-4.

So the function appears to be linear.

So the slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

We already found the slope from earlier which is m=-4.

So the equation so far is y=-4x+b.

Now to find b, the y-intercept, we need to use a point (x,y) on the line along with y=-4x+b.

Let's see my favorite on the list of points is (2,0).

y=-4x+b with (x,y)=(2,0)

0=-4(2)+b

0=-8+b

8=b

So the y-intercept is 8.

The equation P= 21 + 2w models the perimeter, P, of a rectangle with a length of / units and a width of w units.
natima [27]

Answer:

width = 10 units and length = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w

so Length will be 2w

using the rectangle formula:

\sf Perimeter \ of \ rectangle= 2L + 2W

\sf 60= 2(2w) + 2w

\sf 60= 4w + 2w

\sf 60= 6w

\sf w = 10 \ units

Find length:

\sf length = 2w

\sf length = 2(10)

\sf length = 20 \ units

Suppose the speeds of vehicles traveling on a highway are normally distributed and have a known population standard deviation of
erik [133]

Answer:

2.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

\sigma = Population standard deviation = 7 miles per hour

Random sample = n = 32 vehicles

Sample mean = \bar X = 64 miles per hour

98% confidence level

Now based on the above information, the alpha is

= 1 - confidence level

= 1 - 0.98

= 0.02

For \alpha_1_2 = 0.01

Z \alpha_1_2 = 2.326

Now the margin of error is

= Z \alpha_1_2 \times \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

= 2.326 \times \frac{7}{\sqrt{32}}

= 2.88

hence, the margin of error is 2.88
