The answer is:

w^2 - 1 = w + 5

3^2 - 1 = w + 5

3^2 = 3(3) = 9

9-1 = 8

8 = 3 + 5

8 = 8

The mean lifespan of a sylvania light bulb is 1600 hours with a standard deviation of 300 hours, an iqr of 450 hours, and a rang

IgorLugansk [536]

Given that t<span>he mean lifespan of a sylvania light bulb is 1600 hours with a standard deviation of 300 hours, an iqr of 450 hours, and a range of 690 hours. the lifespan distribution is relatively symmetric.

Since, the distribution is relatively symmetric, the measure of spread that is the best measurement is the standard deviation.</span>

Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line.

<u>(Note: this answer is assuming that the equation has to be put in slope-intercept format.)</u>

Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Let's use the point-slope formula to determine what the answer would be. To do that though, we would need two things: the slope and a point that the equation would cross through. We already have the point it would cross through, (-3,-4), based on the given information. So, in the next step, let's find the slope.

2) We know that the slope has to be parallel to the given line, $y = \frac{1}{2}x - 8$ . Remember that slopes that are parallel have the same slope - so, let's simply take the slope from the given equation. Since it's already in slope-intercept form, we know that the slope then must be $\frac{1}{2}$ .

3) Finally, let's put the slope we found and the x and y values from (-3, -4) into the point-slope formula and solve:

$(y- (-4)) = \frac{1}{2} (x - (-3))\\y + 4 = \frac{1}{2} (x + 3))\\y + 4 = \frac{1}{2}x+ \frac{3}{2} \\y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} - 4\\y = \frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} - \frac{8}{2} \\y = \frac{1}{2}x - \frac{5}{2}$
