Hello!

An outlier can cause the mean to be misleading. If you have an outlier when finding the median or IQR, it will not throw off the data by much. But adding a very large or small number to the mean, and dividing it by an extra number, it will throw the number off by a large amount.

I hope this helps!

Find an ordered pair (x, y) that is a solution to the equation. 3x-y=5

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

(2,1) is an example of an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following equation:

$3x - y = 5$

Finding a solution:

To find an ordered pair (x,y) that is a solution to this equation, first we attribute a value to one of the variables, and then replace in the equation and find the other.

I am going to attribute $y = 1$

$3x - y = 5$

$3x - 1 = 5$

$3x = 6$

$x = \frac{6}{3}$

$x = 2$

(2,1) is an example of an ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.

Area (A) = Length (L) x Width (W)
= 6 m x 7m
= 42 m²

Cost: 42 m² x ($2.97/m²) = $24.74

Determine the x-intercept and the y-intercept for the graph of this equation: 2x - 3y + 36 = 0

natali 33 [55]

QUESTION:- DETERMINE THE X-INTERCEPT AND THE Y-INTERCEPT FOR THE GRAPH OF THE EQUATION.

EQUATION:- 2x - 3y + 36 = 0

STANDARD EQUATION:- y=mx+c

where

m-> slope.
c-> Y-INTERCEPT
x&y are the coordinates.

SO GIVEN EQUATION:- 2x - 3y + 36 = 0

WE CAN SOLVE THIS TO CHANGE IN FORMAT OF STANDARD EQUATION

$2x - 3y + 36 = 0 \\ 2x + 36 =3y \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{36}{3} \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x + \frac{ \cancel{36}^{ \: \: 12} }{ \cancel3} \\ y = \frac{2}{3} x + 12 \\$

SO :-

$m = \frac{2}{3} \\ y - intercept = 12 \: ans$

$slope = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1} \\ \frac{2}{3} = \frac{0 - 12}{x - 0} \\ 2x = ( - 12) \times 3 \\ x = \frac{ - \cancel{12}^{ \: \: 6} \times 3 }{ \cancel{2}} \\ x = - 18 \: \: ans$
