Answer:

y = -1/2x + 5

It will take 10 weeks for the cat to lose 5 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Find slope</u>

Take 2 points (2,4) (6,2)

  • y2 - y1/x2 - x1
  • 2 - 4/6 - 2

slope = -1/2

<u>y-intercept</u>

(0,5)

<u>y = mx + b form</u>

m represents slope

b represents y-intercept

y = -1/2x + 5

<u>Find the number of weeks it will the cat to lose 5 pounds</u>

Set y = to 0, to find when the cat loses weight

0 = -1/2x + 5

<u>Subtract 5 in both sides</u>

-5 = -1/2x

<u>Isolate the variable by getting rid of the denominator</u>

-1/2x * 2 = -x

2 * - 5 = -10

<u>Simplify</u>

-x = -10

<u>Divide both sides by -1</u>

-x/-1 = x

-10/-1 = 10

<u>Simplify </u>

x = 10

<u>Answer</u>

Answer:

y = -1/2 x +5

10 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The y intercept is 5  ( That is is the point where x=0)

Our slope is rise over run  or 1 lb /2 weeks

We know this is negative because the cat is losing the weight

slope = -1/2

The equation in slope intercept form is

y= mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -1/2 x +5

We need to determine when y=0 to find when the cat loses all 5 lbs

0 = -1/2 x +5

Subtract 5 from each side

0-5 = -1/2x +5-5

-5 = -1/2x

Multiply each side by -2 to get x alone

-5 *-2 = -1/2x * -2

10 = x

It will take 10 weeks

32 players = 16 matches  ( 32/2)

16 players = 8 matches ( 16/2)

8 players = 4 matches  (8/2)

4 players = 2 matches ( 4/2)

2 players = 1 match

 16 + 8 +4 +2 +1 =  31 matches

Mama L [17]

Answer:

b. the association is consistent when results are repeated in studies in different settings using different methods

Step-by-step explanation:

-In statistics and research, internal consistency is typically a measure based on the correlations between different items on the same test (or the same subscale on a larger test).

-It measures whether several items that propose to measure the same general construct produce similar scores.
