The slope is $-\frac{4}{5}$ and y-intercept is -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

$y = -\frac{4}{5}x-10$

The given equation is in slope-intercept form

General form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

$y = mx+b$

Here

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

So,

comparing both equation we get

The coefficients of x

$m = -\frac{4}{5}$

And

$b = -10$

Hence,

The slope is $-\frac{4}{5}$ and y-intercept is -10

Caroline babysat for two families - the Nelsons and the Smiths. Use the info below to compare her earnings.

Ket [755]

Answer:

She earns $6.50 from the Smiths which is 25 cents more than she earns at the Nelsons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you must find the hourly rate she earns at the Smiths. This will allow you to compare to the hourly rate that is given for the Nelsons. To find the Smiths hourly rate divide $39 by the 6 hours she babysat there. This will have the hourly rate. 39/6=6.5. This means she earns $6.50 an hour for the Smiths. When comparing the rates it is clear that she earned 25 cents more at the Smiths.

Simplify6(x - 3) = -42.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First Expand :

6(x - 3)

= 6x - 18

Now you need to Simplify:

6x - 18 = -42

And now get the 6x by itself by doing this :

6x - 18 = -42

+18 +18

= > 6x = -24

And 6 x 4 = 24

But 6 x -4 = -24

So :

6x/6 and -24/6

= >> x = -4

Answer:

1. False; 2. False; 3. False.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Mode

False.

The mode, mean, and media are all measures of central tendency.

The mean is the best measure for normally distributed data.

The median is the best measure for skewed data.

The mode is the least used, because it's the only measure you can apply to nominal data.

2. Median

False.

The mean is the average of a set of scores or list of numbers.

3. Frequency distribution table

False.

It is not necessary to put the numbers in order.

For example, assume that you wanted to count the frequency of occurrence of each number in the list: 3, 0, 1, 4, 4, 1, 2, 0, 2, 2, 0, 2, 0, 1, 3, 1, 2, 1, 1, 3.

If you are doing this manually, you would go through the list and use tally marks to record the appearance of each number in its category.

If you are using a computer, it will do the sorting for you.
