Answer:

a)

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

b)

2 new counselors

Step-by-step explanation:

How many counselors should be assigned to each school using Hamilton's method?

Number of students

Lowell: 3584  

Fairview: 6816

Total number of students: 10400

Divisor D = (Total number of students)/(number of counselors)= 10400/13 = 800

<u>Temporal assignment</u>

3584/800 = 4 + 0.48 ==> 4 counselors for Lowell

6816/800 = 8 + 0.52 ==> 8 counselors for Fairview

There is one counselor left. According to Hamilton's method she should be assigned to the school with the largest remainder, that is Fairview.

<u>Final assignment</u>

Lowell: 4 counselors

Fairview: 9 counselors

The next year, a new school is opened, with 1824 students. Using the divisor from above, determine how many additional counselors should be hired for the new school

1824/800 = 2 + 0.28

<em>Two new counselors should be hired.</em>

line w passes through point (-6,-7) and has a slope 1/2. what is the equation for the line in point-slope form?
Elena L [17]

Answer:

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a)

where m is the slope and (a, b ) a point on the line

Here m = \frac{1}{2} and (a, b ) = (- 6, - 7 ) , then

y - (- 7) = \frac{1}{2} (x - (- 6) ) , that is

y + 7 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 6)

Express as a difference: a+b, a+5
Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

a - (-b), a - (-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

A double negative negative is a positive, so a - (-b) = a + b, and a - (-5) is a + 5. However, a double negative is still a difference, so this answer works.
