When an equation looks like $y = mx + b$ , then m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

In the problem you have, y = -5x - 1. So, since the slope is just the number in front of the x, the answer is slope = -5.

Answer:

$y = \frac{32}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, move over the negative 3/4 fraction (don't forget to swap the operation i.e subtract to add):

$\frac{y}{8} = \frac{7}{12} + \frac{3}{4}$

Now, to add the two fractions, simply multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:

$\frac{3*3}{4*3} = \frac{9}{12}$

Now add this to the other fraction:

$\frac{9}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{16}{12}$

This can be simplified down by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4:

$\frac{4}{3}$

Which now simplifies the original equation to:

$\frac{y}{8} = \frac{4}{3}$

Remove the y out of the fraction:

$\frac{1}{8}y = \frac{4}{3}$

Now multiply both sides by 8:

$(\frac{1}{8}y) * 8 = (\frac{4}{3}) * 8$

$y = \frac{4*8}{3}$

$y = \frac{32}{3}$

Hope this helps!

For an essay contest, Annika needs to write 400 words with an absolute deviation of less than 10 words. Using w as a variable, w

saw5 [17]

Answer:

The absolute value inequality to represent the situation is presented as follows;

$\left | w -400 \right |$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information are;

The number of words Annika needs to write = 400 words

The absolute deviation of the number of words Annika needs to write = 10 words

When we let the number of words Annika write = w, we have;

The absolute value inequality given that the absolute deviation of the number of words is 10 is given as follows;

$\left | w -400 \right |$

Therefore we have;

$\left | w -400 \right |$ gives the statement, -10 < w - 400 < 10.

Which equation has the solution x = 5?

otez555 [7]

Answer:

Here are your answers!

Step-by-step explanation:

x/5+5=6 is x=5.

18-2x=9 is NOT x=5, it is x=9/2

32-4x=12 is x=5.

11+6x=22 is NOT x=5, it is x - 11/6

3x+1=9 is NOT x=5, it is x = 8/3

25/x+4=9 is x=5.

Brainliest please!

Suppose you do not know the population mean fee charged to H&R Block customers last year. Instead, suppose you take a sample

puteri [66]

Answer:

i $\to$ a

$n = 96040000$

i $\to$ b

$n_1 =24010000$

i $\to$ c

$n_2 =41602500$

ii $\to$ a

$E = 58.16$

ii $\to$ b

$291.84 < \mu < 408.16$ \

ii $\to$ c

There is insufficient evidence to conclude that the analyst is right because the population mean fee by the analyst does not fall within the confidence interval

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The sample size is $n = 8$

The sample mean is $\= x = \$ 350$

The sample standard deviation is $\$ 100$

Considering question i

i $\to$ a

At $E = 0.02$

given that the confidence level is 95% = 0.95

the level of significance would be $\alpha =1-0.95 = 0.05$

The critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{ \alpha }{2} } = 1.96$

So the sample size is mathematically evaluated as

$n = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \sigma }{E} ]^2$

=> $n =[ \frac{ 1.96 * 100}{ 0.02} ]^2$

=> $n = 96040000$

i $\to$ b

At $E_1 = 0.04$ and confidence level = 95% => $\alpha_1 = 0.05$ => $Z_{\frac{\alpha_1 }{2} } = 1.96$

$n_1 = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha_2 }{2} } * \sigma }{E_1} ]^2$

=> $n_1 =[ \frac{ 1.96 * 100}{ 0.04} ]^2$

=> $n_1 =24010000$

i $\to$ c

At $E_2 = 0.04$ confidence level = 99% => $\alpha_2 = 0.01$

The critical value of $\frac{\alpha_2 }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{ \alpha_2 }{2} } = 2.58$

=> $n_2 = [ \frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha_2 }{2} } * \sigma }{E_2} ]^2$

=> $n_2 =[ \frac{ 2.58 * 100}{ 0.04} ]^2$

=> $n_2 =41602500$

Considering ii

Given that the level of significance is $\alpha = 0.10$

Then the critical value of $\frac{\alpha }{2}$ from the normal distribution table is

$Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } = 1.645$

Generally the margin of error is mathematically represented as

$E = Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } * \frac{\sigma }{\sqrt{n} }$

substituting values

$E = 1.645 * \frac{100 }{\sqrt{8} }$

$E = 58.16$

Generally the 90% confidence interval is mathematically evaluated as

$\= x - E < \mu < \= x + E$

=> $350 - 58.16 < \mu < 350 + 58.16$

=> $291.84 < \mu < 408.16$

So the interpretation is that there is 90% confidence that the mean fee charged to H&R Block customers last year is in the interval .So there is insufficient evidence to conclude that the analyst is right because the population mean fee by the analyst does not fall within the confidence interval.
