Answer:

4x + 5y = -10 or y = -⅘x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change [slope]:

-y₁ + y₂\-x₁ + x₂ = m

$\frac{ -2 - 6}{5 + 5} = - \frac{8}{10} = - \frac{4}{5}$

Then use the Point-Slope Formula since we are given points. Now, according to this formula, all negative symbols give the OPPOSITE terms of what they really are, so be EXTREMELY careful inserting the coordinates into the formula with their CORRECT signs. It does not matter which one you choose:

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y + 6 = -⅘(x - 5)

y + 6 = -⅘x + 4

- 6 - 6

_______________

y = -⅘x - 2

If you want it in Standard Form:

y = -⅘x - 2

+⅘x +⅘x

___________

⅘x + y = -2 [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equations, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

5[⅘x + y = -2]

4x + 5y = -10 >> Line in Standard Form

__________________________________________________________

y - 2 = -⅘(x + 5)

y - 2 = -⅘x - 4

+ 2 + 2

______________

y = -⅘x - 2

+⅘x +⅘x

___________

⅘x + y = -2 [We do not want fractions in our Standard Equations, so multiply by the denominator to get rid of it.]

5[⅘x + y = -2]

4x + 5y = -10 >> Line in Standard Form

** You see? I told you that it would not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will always get the exact same result!!!

I am joyous to assist you anytime.

Rewrite the expression as a single power with a negative exponent

$~\hspace{7em}\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} ~\hspace{4.5em} a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} ~\hspace{4.5em} \cfrac{a^n}{a^m}\implies a^na^{-m}\implies a^{n-m} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \left(\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2\implies \left[ \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^4 \right]^2\implies \left( \cfrac{1^4}{3^4} \right)^2 \\\\\\ \left( \cfrac{1^{4\cdot 2}}{3^{4\cdot 2}} \right) \implies \cfrac{1}{3^8} \implies 3^{-8}$

let's recall that

$\begin{array}{llll} 1^1&=&1\\ 1^{10}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000}&=&1\\ 1^{1,000,000,000,000}&=&1\\ \end{array}$

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

2,75,000 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Litre = 1000 ml

So,

275 Litres = 275 x 1000 mL

= 2,75,000 mL

There is strong believe that language skills of Political science students are greater than students who study Finance. Research

BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_2$

The alternative hypothesis $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

$p-value = 0.232$

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The value given is

S/N

1 7 5

2 4 3

3 8 7

4 8 8

5 7 9

6 7 5

7 6 5

Generally the sample mean for the first sample is mathematically represented as

$\= x _1 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x _1 = \frac{7 +4 + \cdots + 6}{7}$

=> $\= x _1 = 6.714$

Generally the sample mean for the second sample is mathematically represented as

$\= x _2 = \frac{\sum x_i }{n}$

=> $\= x _2 = \frac{5 + 3+ \cdots + 5}{7}$

=> $\= x _2 = 6$

Generally the sample standard deviation for the first sample is mathematically represented as

$s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x_1)^2 }{n-1 } }$

=> $s_1 = \sqrt{\frac{ (7 - 6.714 )^2 +(4 - 6.714 )^2 + \cdots + (6 - 6.714 )^2 }{7-1 } }$

=> $s_1 = 1.905$

Generally the sample standard deviation for the second sample is mathematically represented as

$s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i - \= x_2)^2 }{n-1 } }$

=> $s_2 = \sqrt{\frac{ (5 - 6.714 )^2 +(3 - 6.714 )^2 + \cdots + (5 - 6.714 )^2 }{7-1 } }$

=> $s_1 = 4.33$

Generally the pooled standard deviation is

$s = \sqrt{\frac{(n_1 - 1 )s_1^2 + (n_2 - 1 )s_2^2}{n_1 + n_2 -2 } }$

=> $s = \sqrt{\frac{(7 - 1 )1.905^2 + (7 - 1 )4.333^2}{7 + 7 -2 } }$

=> $s = 1.766$

The null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu_1 = \mu_2$

The alternative hypothesis $H_a : \mu_1 > \mu_2$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically represented as

$t = \frac{\= x _1 - \= x_2 }{s * \sqrt{\frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2}} }$

=> $t = \frac{6.714 - 6 }{1.766 * \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{7}} }$

=> $t = 0.757$

Generally the degree of freedom is mathematically represented as

$df = n_1 + n_2 - 2$

=> $df = 7 + 7 - 2$

=> $df = 12$

From the t distribution table the probability of $t = 0.757$ at a degree of freedom of $df = 12$ is

$t_{ 0.757 , 12} = 0.232$

Generally the p-value is

$p-value = t_{ 0.757 , 12} = 0.232$

From the values obtained we see that $p-value > \alpha$ hence

The decision rule is

Fail to reject the null hypothesis

Bananas are $.59 a pound what is the constant of proportionality

hichkok12 [17]

The constant proportionality is the proportionality of 59. Because it is the price, you just move the decimal point two places over to the left.
If you do this correctly you will get .59
