Let x be a random variable representing percentage change in neighborhood population in the past few years, and let y be a rando

Lisa [10]

Answer:

$m=\frac{2506.833}{604.833}=4.1447$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{77}{6}=12.833$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{587}{6}=97.833$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=97.833-(4.1447*12.833)=44.644$

So the line would be given by:

$y=4.1447 x +44.644$

Step-by-step explanation:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Σx = 77, Σy = 587, Σx2 = 1593, Σy2 = 70,533, and Σxy = 10040.

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=1593-\frac{77^2}{6}=604.833$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=10040-\frac{77*587}{6}=2506.833$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{2506.833}{604.833}=4.1447$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{77}{6}=12.833$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{587}{6}=97.833$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=97.833-(4.1447*12.833)=44.644$

So the line would be given by:

$y=4.1447 x +44.644$

what is the equation of a line perpendicular to y=2x+4 and goes through the point (-2,3)

lesya [120]

Answer:

y=1/2x +4

To get the perpendicular its the opposite reciprocal, so 2/1 will be 1/2

Sarah used a scale of ½ inch = 3 feet for a drawing of her business. On the drawing, a rectangular room measures 2 ½ inches by 3

Korolek [52]

Answer:

The new carpet will cost $1279.13 to the nearest cent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. Sarah used a scale of $\frac{1}{2}$ inch = 3 feet

2. On the drawing, a rectangular room measures $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches

by $3\frac{3}{4}$ inches

3. Sarah wants to purchase new carpet for the room that costs $3.79

per square foot

We need to find much the new carpet will cost

∵ The scale is 0.5 inch = 3 feet

∵ The dimensions of the room on the drawing are $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches and

$3\frac{3}{4}$ inches

∵ $2\frac{1}{2}$ = 2.5

∵ $3\frac{3}{4}$ = 3.75

Use the ratio method

→ inches : feet

→ 0.5 : 3

→ 2.5 : x

→ 3.75 : y

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 0.5 x = 2.5 × 3

∴ 0.5 x = 7.5

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ x = 15 feet

∴ 0.5 y = 3.75 × 3

∴ 0.5 y = 11.25

- Divide both sides by 0.5

∴ y = 22.5 feet

∴ The actual dimensions of the room are 15 feet and 22.5 feet

Now lets find the area of the room which is the area of the carpet

∵ Area of the carpet = 15 × 22.5

∴ Area of the carpet = 337.5 feet²

∵ The cost of the carpet is $3.79 per square feet

∴ The cost of the carpet = 3.79 × 337.5 = 1278.125

∴ The cost of the carpet = $1279.13 to the nearest cent

The new carpet will cost $1279.13 to the nearest cent
