Answer:

y=-2x-20

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(-5+4)/(-6+8)

m=-1/2

y=-1/2x+b

-4=-1/2(-8)+b

-4=4+b

-8=b

y=-1/2x-8

Scores are 78,81,83, and 76 what must she earn on the fifth test to earn an average test score of 81

iogann1982 [59]

The average value of a data set is equal to the sum of each entry divided by the number of entries. In this case, we have 5 scores, so we can find set up the following equation where x is the fifth score:

$\dfrac{78+81+83+76+x}{5} = 81$

Now solve for x:

$78 + 81 + 83 + 76 + x = 81(5)$

$318 + x = 405$

$x = 87$

The fifth score must be 87.

A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist

maw [93]

Answer:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

Alvin is 7 years older than Elga. The sum of their ages is 97. What is Elga's age?

LenaWriter [7]

Elga's age = x

Alvin's age = x + 7

x + x + 7 = 97.

Simplify the left side of the equation

2x + 7 = 97.

Subtract 7 from each side

2x = 90.

Divide each side by 2

x = 45

Since x is equal to Elga's age, Elga is 45 years old

Use rounding to estimate the product

sdas [7]

Answer:

The estimate of the product is about 35 answer C

Step-by-step explanation:

- We use rounding to estimate the product of two fractions

- The mixed number has whole number and fraction

- To round the mixed number we look to the fraction

- If the numerator is half or greater than half the denominator, then we

add the whole number by 1 and cancel the fraction

- If the numerator is less than half the denominator, then we keep the

whole number as it and cancel the fraction

- Ex: If the mixed number is $2\frac{3}{4}$ , 3 is more than

half 4 then we will add 2 by 1 and cancel the fraction part, the

mixed number $2\frac{3}{4}$ after rounding is 3

- Ex: If the mixed number is $5\frac{1}{4}$ , 1 is less than

half 4 then we will keep 5 as it and cancel the fraction part, the

mixed number $5\frac{1}{4}$ after rounding is 5

* Lets solve the problem

∵ In the part $4\frac{3}{4}$ 3 is more than half 4

∴ The rounding value of $4\frac{3}{4}$ is 5

∵ In the part $7\frac{2}{17}$ 2 is less than half 17

∴ The rounding value of $7\frac{2}{17}$ is 7

∴ $4\frac{3}{4}*7\frac{2}{17}=5*7=35$

* The estimate of the product is about 35
