We are given an (X, Y) in (-1, 6). We are also given a slope of -2.

Start by plugging all those values into the slope intercept equation.

6 = -2*-1 + B

Solve for B.

B = 4

Now, all you have to do is put it back into the equation again, this time not using the (X,Y) we had initially, but just the slope (-2) and our new "B" value (5).

The resulting equation looks like this:

y= -2x + 4

And that's the answer.

Y = mx + b
slope(m) = -2
(-1,6)....x = -1 and y = 6
now we sub and find b, the y int
6 = -2(-1) + b
6 = 2 + b
6 - 2 = b
4 = b

so ur equation is : y = -2x + 4 <==

Tickets to a concert cost $50 for each orchestra seat and $40 for each
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

H. the number of orchestra seat is 900

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

let the number of orchestra seat be x

and balcony seat be y

cost of orchestra= $50 each

cost of balcony =$40 each

total tickets= 1500

x+y= 1500----------1

amount earned= $69000

50x+40y=69000--------2

The system of equation for the situation is

x+y= 1500----------1

50x+40y=69000--------2

from 1, x=1500-y

put this in equation 2

50(1500-y)+40y=69000

75000-50y+40y=69000

-10y=69000-75000

-10y=-6000

divide both sides by -10

y=-6000/-10

y=600

put y= 600 in equation 1

x+600= 1500

x=1500-600

x=900

Parameter of Statistic

From the question, we understand that the teacher is to calculate the class average.

To calculate the class average, the teacher will use the mean function/formula, which is calculated as:

Mean = \frac{\sum x}{n}

Generally, mean is an example of a parameter.

<em>So, we can conclude that the teacher will use parameer</em>
