1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.

y=mx +b

y=3x +b

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).

2.5 = 3*(-10)+b

b=2.5+30=32.5

y=3x + 32.5

2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).

y=(1/4)x +b

-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b

-11 = -4 +b

b = -7

y=(1/4)x - 7

The average price of gasoline in Paris, France, is 1.91 euros per liter. If there are 3.785 liters in one gallon, and the exchan

kirill [66]

Answer:

The price of gasoline in Paris is $6.00/gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the price of gas in dollars per gallon for gasoline in Paris.

Step 1

We are told in the question that: the average price of gasoline in Paris, France, is 1.91 euros per liter.

Also we are told that, the exchange rate is 1.203 euros for one dollar

We convert the Euros to dollars

If, 1.203 euros = 1 dollar

1.91 euros = x dollars

We Cross Multiply

1.203 euros × x dollars = 1.91 euros × 1 dollar

x dollars = 1.91 euros × 1 dollar/ 1.203 euros

x dollars = 1.5876974231 dollars

Therefore, 1.203 euros = Approximately 1.59 dollars.

Hence, the price of gasoline in Paris, France is 1.59 dollars per liter.

Step 2

We convert the from liter to gallon

In the question, we are told that:

If there are 3.785 liters in one gallon

Therefore, if

1 liter of gasoline = 1.59 dollars

3.785 liters of gasoline =

Cross Multiply

= 3.785 liters × 1.59

= 6.01815 dollars.

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 6.00 dollars.

Since 3.785 liters of gasoline = 1 gallon of gasoline, therefore, the price of gas in dollars per gallon for gasoline in Paris is $6.00/gallon

5) Find the distance between -9 and 12 on a number line.

kati45 [8]

Answer: Hope this helps!!!

Step-by-step explanation:Absolute Value: You need to find how far away both numbers are from zero, then add these values together to see how far apart these numbers. The absolute value of nine, |-9| is 9, and |12| is 12. This means that the nine is nine spots away from zero, and twelve is twelve spots from zero. This means that the numbers are 20 units from each other.

Distance -9 is from 12 You need to find how much of an increase from nine you need to reach the twelve. So -9 + ? = 12. What number can you add to equal twelve? You can add 20 to make the equation true. (? = 20) The distance from -9 to 12 is a positive 20.

Distance from 12 to -9 This is similar to the previous example. What number can you insert to make the 12 equal the negative nine? 12 - ? = -9. The number would be -20, which means that 12 is 20 spots away from the negative nine, as it took at negative twenty to get us to the negative nine.

Find the perimeter of a rectangle with a length of 6x+3 and a width of -2x-5.

blsea [12.9K]

The simple way of calculating a perimeter is to add all of the sides.
For a rectangle this would equal 2 x length + 2 x width
P = 2(6x + 3) + 2(-2x - 5)
= 12x + 6 - 4x - 10
= 8x - 4

At a higher level both the length and width must be greater than zero (= zero is a trivial rectangle)
6x + 3 > 0
6x > -3
x > -0.5

-2x - 5 > 0
2x + 5 < 0 (multiplying by -1 reverses the inequality)
2x < -5
x < -2.5

This rectangle cannot exist as x cannot be < -2.5 and > -0.5 at the same time!

A survey was taken of students in math classes to find out how many hours per day students spend

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

1. Mean, because there are no outliers that affect the center

Step-by-step explanation:

Second period: 3,2,3,1,3, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 0, 2, 3, 1, 2

Sorted values : 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4

The mean = ΣX / n

n = sample size, n = 15

Mean = 34 / 15 = 2.666

The median = 1/2(n+1)th term.

1/2(16)th term = 8th term.

The 8th term = 2

The best measure of centre is the mean because the values for the second period has no outliers that might have affected the centre of the distribution.

Both interquartile range and standard deviation are measures of spread and not measures of centre.
