Mathematics

Answer:

b = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = - 2x + 17 is in this form with slope m = - 2

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

slope of line through the 2 points is - 2

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (b, 7)

m = \frac{7-3}{b-2} = \frac{4}{b-2}, hence

\frac{4}{b-2} = - 2 ( cross- multiply )

- 2(b - 2) = 4

- 2b + 4 = 4 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- 2b = 0 ⇒ b = 0

Sylvia enlarged a photo to make a 24 x 32 inch poster using the dilation DQ,4. What are the dimensions, in inches, of the origin
RSB [31]

Answer:

6 × 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the dilation factor is 4, and the image was ENLARGED, that means the original photo was smaller.  Smaller by a factor of 4.

So, we take the new dimensions (24x32) and we divide each side by the dilation factor of 4:

(24/4) x (32/4) = 6 x 8

It couldn't be the first answer choice (3x8) because  that doesn't maintain the ratio of the enlarge picture.  The other possible answers do match the right ratio... but only 6x8 is scaled by a factor of 4.

A marketing organization claims that more than 10% of its employees are paid minimum wage. If a hypothesis test is performed tha
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the employees are paid minimum wage.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

A marketing organization claims that more than 10% of its employees are paid minimum wage.

The null hypothesis is:

H_o : p = 10

The alternative hypothesis is:

H_1 : p > 10

If a hypothesis test is performed that fails to reject the null hypothesis, how would this decision be interpreted

i.e Decision Rule: fails to reject the null hypothesis

Then the interpretation of the decision is that, there is insufficient evidence to support the claim that more than 10% of the employees are paid minimum wage.

HELP PLEASE!! Identify the function shown in this graph. ​

Marge purchased bicycle helmets and tire pumps. Each helmet cost $12.00 and each pump cost $8.00. She purchased a total of 18 it
algol [13]

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of helmet be x

cost of 1 helmet = $12.00

cost of x helmet = $12.00*x = $12x

Let the no. of tire pumps be y

cost of 1 tire pumps = $8.00

cost of x tire pumps = $8.00*y = $8y

Given that total no. of helmet and pump is 18

thus

x + y = 18

y = 18-x

also given

total money spent is $188

thus

12x+8y = 188

using y = 18 - x

we have

12x + 8(18-x) = 188

=> 12x+ 144 - 8x = 188

=> 4x = 188-144 = 44

=> x = 44/4 = 11

Thus, no of helmet bought by Margo is 11.
