The easiest way to solve this question is to write out both equations in the form y = mx + c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

a) Thus, if we start with 9x - 10y = 21, then we get:

9x - 10y = 21

(9/10)x - y = 21/10 (Divide both sides by 10)

(9/10)x = y + 21/10 (Add y to both sides)

(9/10)x - 21/10 = y (Subtract 21/10 from both sides)

Thus, our first equation may be written as y = (9/10)x - 21/10

b) Now if we take the second equation, (3/2)x - (5/3)y = 7/2, we can follow the same process to get:

(3/2)x - (5/3)y = 7/2

(9/10)x - y = 21/10 (Multiply each side by 3/5)

(9/10)x = y + 21/10 (Add y to each side)

(9/10)x - 21/10 = y (Subtract 21/10 both sides)

Thus, the second equation may be written as y = (9/10)x - 21/10.

Now you might have already realised this but the two equations are actually exactly the same; if they are the same line then they are said to be coincident.

Note that if the two lines are parallel, then their gradients (m) would be the same, but the y-intercepts (c) would be different (eg. y = 2x + 3 and y = 2x + 4 are parallel).

If they just intersect at a point, then the gradients of the lines would be different, but the y-intercepts could be the same or different (eg. y = 4x + 2 and y = 9x + 2 intersect at one point).

For them to be coincident however, both the gradient and y-intercept must be the same as only then would they be the same line.

Standard deviation measures _____ risk while beta measures _____ risk.
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

Standard deviation measures Total risk while beta measures Systematic risk.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total risk is the total variability of the portfolio and includes the systematic risk and the unique risk.

The systematic risk is measured by the beta coefficient and it considers the no diversified risk such as changes in the global market. Unique risks are the ones that result from factors specifically related to the company.

Brandon spends $25.30 on 2 large containers of popcorn and 4 large drinks. A large container of popcorn costs $5.25. What is the
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

$3.70

Step-by-step explanation:

$25.30 = 2P + 4D. p for popcorn and d for drinks

P= $5.25

$25.30 = 2($5.25) + 4D

$25.30 = $10.50 + 4D

-10.50. -10.50

inverse operations

$14.80 = 4D

÷4. ÷4

Inverse operations

$3.70 = D
