Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line modeling the price of a car over the years from its initial purchase is to be a line with negative slope "m" due to the fact that the price of the car drops with the years, but for sure the price at the time of purchase (which is the zero in the horizontal x-axis) should be the largest value the car would have (the purchase price) This is actually the y-intercept "b", clearly a positive number.

Flauer [41]
A discrete variable is a type of variable which contains a finite number of values. It usually takes its values from the set of whole numbers.

From the random variable described, the random variable that is descrete is "You measure the maximum heart rate in beats per minute".

This is because, heart rate cannot be partitioned it only takes counting number values. You either have 1 beat per minutes, 2 or 3 and so on beats per minute. But you cannot have 2.5 or 3.8 and so on beats per minute.
So heart rate cannot take decimal or fractional values and hence, it is a discrete random variable.

I need help with number 7 can someone explain how u get the answer?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

5 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an inequality, using x to represent months.

(The 35 and 40 represent the cost per month, and you add the 100 and 75 just once because it's a one-time fee and not monthly)

35x + 100 < 40x + 75

Now solve for x.

5x > 25

x > 5

This means that the membership will be less expensive after 5 months.
