Answer:3/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The simplest form of

15 /40 is 3 /8 .

Steps to simplifying fractions

Find the GCD (or HCF) of numerator and denominator

GCD of 15 and 40 is 5

Divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCD

15 ÷ 5

40 ÷ 5

Reduced fraction:

3 /8

Therefore, 15/40 simplified to lowest terms is 3/8.

) Find the coordinates of the point A' which is the symmetric point

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Let, coordinate of point A' is (x,y).

Since, A' is the symmetric point A(3, 2) with respect to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0.

So, slope of line containing A and A' will be perpendicular to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0 and also their center lies in the line too.

Now, their center is given by :

$C( \dfrac{x+3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, product of slope will be -1 .( Since, they are parallel )

$\dfrac{y-2}{x-3} \times -2 = -1\\\\2y - 4 = x - 3\\\\2y - x = 1$

x = 2y - 1

So, $C( \dfrac{2y -1 +3}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})\\\\C( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}, \dfrac{y+2}{2})$

Also, C satisfy given line :

$2\times ( \dfrac{2y + 2}{2}) + \dfrac{y+2}{2} = 12\\\\4y + 4 + y + 2 = 24\\\\5y = 18\\\\y = \dfrac{18}{5}$

Also,

$x = 2\times \dfrac{18}{5 } - 1\\\\x = \dfrac{31}{5}$

Therefore, the symmetric points is $A'(\dfrac{31}{5}, \dfrac{18}{5})$ .

A college professor reports that students who finish exams early tend to get better grades than students who hold on to exams un

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The correlation between exam score and amount of time spent on the exam is an example of a negative correlation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

College professor reports that students who finish exams early tend to get better grades than students who hold on to exams until the last possible moment.

That means the student who finish the exam early will get the highest marks. One who finish after the first student will get second highest mark and the one who finish in the end will get the least marks.

Now consider time as first variable and marks as second variable.

That means as the first variable increase the second variable decreases.

According to the definition of Negative correlation: It is a relationship between two variables in which one variable increases as the other decreases, and vice versa.

Hence, the correct answer is negative correlation.
