X + y = 56 ------------------(1)
x:y = 5:3
x/y = 5/3
3 x = 5 y
so, x = (5/3)y---------------(2)
sub (2) in (1)
x + y = 56
(5/3)y + y = 56
5 y + 3 y = 168
  8 y  = 168
  y  =  168 / 8  = 21
x = (5/3) x 21
  =  35
the value of x - y = 35 - 21
                          = 14

A line has a slope of -4/5. Which ordered pairs can be points on the line is perpendicular to this line
pychu [463]

Answer:

Any ordered pairs which have a slope of 5/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The line has a slope of -4/5 which means the y values have a difference of -4 and the x values have a difference of 5. If the line is perpendicular to this line then its slope must be the negative reciprocal which is 5/4. Any points which have a difference in y values of 5 and a difference of x values of 4 will be on some line perpendicular to the original.

olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

At 95% Confidence interval level,Level of significance \alpha 0.05, the value of Z from the standard normal tables = 1.96

Margin of Error = 0.10

Let assume that the estimated proportion = 0.5

therefore; the sample size n can be determined by using the formula: n =(\dfrac{Z}{E})^2 \times p\times (1-p)

n =(\dfrac{1.96}{0.1})^2 \times 0.5\times (1-0.5)

n =(19.6)^2 \times 0.5\times (0.5)

n = 96.04

n \approx 96
