Answer:

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cheryl's age = x

Rita's age = y

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl

(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)

y - 2 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 6 + 2

= 3x - 4

y = 3x - 4

In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl

(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6 - 3

= 2x + 3

y = 2x + 3

Equate both equations

3x - 4 = 2x + 3

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 3 + 4

x = 7 years

Substitute x = 7 into

y = 2x + 3

= 2(7) + 3

= 14 + 3

= 17

y = 17 years

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph shows the prices, in dollars, of different numbers of pies at Erik's store. The table shows the prices, in dollars, of different numbers of doughnuts at the same store. A graph shows Number of Pies on x-axis and Price of Pies on y-axis. The x-axis scale is shown from 0 to 12 at increments of 2, and the y-axis scale is shown from 0 to 160 at increments of 20. A straight line joins the ordered pairs 2, 20 and 4, 40 and 6, 60 and 8, 80 and 10, 100 and 12, 120.

Match each equation to the line of best fit that it models.
egoroff_w [7]

By applying concepts of <em>linear</em> functions, the graphs are related to the following expressions:

  1. (4/7) · x + 2
  2. x + 2
  3. (1/7) · x + 2
  4. - (1/7) · x + 2
  5. - x + 2

<h3>How to match a line with a given linear function</h3>

Graphically speaking, lines are described by <em>linear</em> functions, a kind of polynomials of grade 1, whose standard form is presented below:

y = m · x + b     (1)

Where:

  • x - Independent variable
  • y - Dependent variable
  • m - Slope
  • b - Intercept

Please notice that the slope is represented graphically by the change in the y-variable divided by the change in the x-variable and the intercept is the location where the line passes through the y-axis. Hence, the <em>resulting</em> expressions are shown in this order:

  1. (4/7) · x + 2
  2. x + 2
  3. (1/7) · x + 2
  4. - (1/7) · x + 2
  5. - x + 2

When stating the null and alternative hypotheses, the hypotheses are: Select one: a. Always about the statistic only b. Always a
Nata [24]

Answer:

D. Always about the parameter only

Step-by-step explanation: A Null Hypothesis is a hypothesis used in statistics to show that there is no variation among the variables of interest. A Null Hypothesis also can be said to be giving a proposal that there is not significant difference between the observed data.

An alternative hypothesis is a hypothesis in statistics given contrary to the Null Hypothesis,a Null hypothesis can also be seen in statistics as stating that something is happening among the data.
