so, uh, i think the answe is actually 5. Since 5^2 is 25, minus 5 is 20, and 5 minus 1 is 4, 20 divided by 4 is 5. i hope that helps.

The population in the above situation is the total number of students under Mr. Wilson.

A sample is a part of the population that may best represent the population. There is no sample in the above situation because Mr. Wilson made all students pick 5 note cards. He will be able to determine the performance of each student based on their performance in picking 5 note cards and defining the terms in each card.

Nancy shot a 24 on 4 holes of golf. At this rate, what can she expect her score to be if she plays all 18 holes?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

108

Step-by-step explanation:

"At this rate, ..." means we're to assume Nancy's score is proportional to the number of holes:

score/18 = 24/4

Multiplying by 18, we get ...

score = 18(24/4) = 18(6) = 108

Nancy can expect a score of 108 on 18 holes.

A line that passes through the points (–4, 10) and (–1, 5) can be represented by the equation y = y equals negative StartFractio

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

y=-\frac{5}{3} x+\frac{10}{3} or what is the same: $5x+3y=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

First we find the slope of the line that goes through the points (-4,10) and (-1,5) using the slope formula: $slope=\frac{10-5}{-4-(-1)} =\frac{5}{-3} =-\frac{5}{3}$

Now we use this slope in the general form of the slope- y_intercept of a line:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x+b$

We can determine the parameter "b" by requesting the condition that the line has to go through the given points, and we can use one of them to solve for "b" (for example requesting that the point (-1,5) is on the line:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x+b\\5=-\frac{5}{3} (-1)+b\\5=\frac{5}{3}+b\\5-\frac{5}{3}=b\\b=\frac{10}{3}$

Therefore, the equation of the line in slope y_intercept form is:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x+\frac{10}{3}$

Notice that this equation can also be written in an equivalent form by multiplying both sides of the equal sign by "3", which allows us to write it without denominators:

$y=-\frac{5}{3} x+\frac{10}{3}\\3*y=(-\frac{5}{3} x+\frac{10}{3})*3\\3y=-5x+10\\5x+3y=10$
