Answer:

y = -1/6 x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to write an equation of a line you need slope (m) and y-intercept (b) or where the graph grosses the y- axis. since you are given two points (6, 10) and (4, -2). Slope when given two points is (y - y) / (x - x)

                                                                  so (-2 - 10) / (6 - 4) = 6 / - 1 =- 6

use the equation y = mx + b and substitute either point (6, 10) or (4, -2) as a replacement for x and y respectively. (I chose (6, 10) because they are positive numbers. Substituting x = 6 and y = 10 and m = -6  into y = mx + b

10 = -6(6) + b

10 = -36 + b

b = 46 (add -36 to both sides)

so our equation: y = -6x + 46 :-)

Answer:

y = 6x - 26

Step-by-step explanation:

1. find slope: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

(-2 - 10) / (4 - 6) = -12 / -2 = 6

basic equation: y = 6x + b

2. plug in (x,y) value using one set of coordinates.

10 = 6(6) + b

10 = 36 + b

b = 10 - 36

b = -26

3. plug b in to find full equation.

y = 6x -26

Answer:

(a)High school students in the United States.

(b)100 Students

(c)Statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Since the researcher is interested in the texting habits of high school students in the United States, the population for this study consists of all high school students in the United States.

(b)It is most often improbable to carry out research on an entire population of study. A <u>sample is taken to represent the population</u> and the results obtained from the sample are assumed to hold for the entire population.

In the given study, the researcher selects a group of 100 students to represent the High School students in the United States. This is the sample for the study.

(c)The researcher calculated the average number of text messages that each individual sends each day from the sample of 100 Students. This is an example of a Statistic. A statistic is a numerical data obtained from a sample.

Note: If the data were obtained from the entire population, it would be a <u>parameter.</u>

Please help me, I’m struggling!
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Multiply the numbers until you get the same denominator (Bottom number) for both fractions. I will do #1 to show you.

1/3    1/2

Both 3 and 2 go into 6, so I will use that.

When multiplying the bottom , you have to do the same to the top, so...

2/6  OR  3/6

3/6 is greater, so that is the answer.

Therefore, 1/2 is more

Another way you can do this is to draw a pizza, a section off parts of it according to the fractions.

Hope this helped.
