Answer:

y = -1/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of the equation of a line is

y = mx+b

we know m = -1/5

y = -1/5x+b

We know a x and y on the line

7 = -1/5(-3) +b

7 = 3/5 +b

Subtract 3/5 from each side

35/5 -3/5 = b

32/5 =b

So the equation is

y = -1/5x +32/5

Answer: Hope this explains everything for you!

y= -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

y= 2x-1 is wrong

First, we will start by identifying the y-int, the y-int is when x is zero. The y-int is 3 since when x is 0, y is 3, (0,3).

y= 2x+3 (So that means -1 is actually 3)

Plus even if your slope is 2, since from the 2 points you go up 2 and run by 1, if you're not going to calculate it with 2 points, you need to see if its uphill, downhill, etc. (More info in the image below) The slope is actually negative meaning it is -2.

So the equation of the line is actually y= -2x+3

Carmen has a $350 gift card to spent at Modell's. She wants to buy 2 pairs of sneakers that cost $100 each. She wants to find th

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The inequality is $200 + x*$8≤ $350

Step-by-step explanation:

An inequality is an inequality between letters (unknowns) and numbers related by arithmetic operations. Its solution set is the set of real numbers that satisfy it. In other words, an algebraic inequality in which its members are linked by the signs <(less than), ≤ (less than or equal to),> (greater than) or ≥ (greater than or equal to) is called an inequality.

Solving an inequality is to find the values of the unknown for which the inequality holds. The solution of an inequality is an interval or a union of intervals of real numbers.

In this case, you know that Carmen wants to buy 2 pairs of sneakers that cost $ 100 each.So the 2 pairs of sneakers will cost Carmen:

2 * $ 100 = $ 200

On the other hand, Carmen wants to find the possible amount of socks that she can buy, knowing that a pair costs $ 8. Being x the amount of socks that she can buy, then Carmen spends on socks:

x*$8

Knowing that Carmen has a $ 350 gift card to spend at Modell's, then what she spent on sneakers and socks cannot be more than $ 350. That is to say, the sum of what was spent on sneakers and socks must be less than or equal to $ 350, because Carmen cannot spend more than she has. This is expressed by the following inequality:

$200 + x*$8≤ $350

Solving for x:

x*$8 ≤ $350 - $200

x*$8≤ $150

x≤ $\frac{150}{8}$

x≤ 18.75

Carmen can buy 2 sneakers and 18 or fewer socks with the $ 350 gift card.

What is 83/9 as a whole or mixed number

podryga [215]

Mixed number: 9 2/9

1. How many 9's go into 83
2. It is 9 because 9*9 = 81 9*10=90 is bigger so not possible
3. 2 is left because 83-81 = 2
4. And don't forget the denominator

Find the equation of a circle that has a diameter with the endpoints given by the points A(-4,9) and B (- 2, - 3) )

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

The equation of the circle is $(x+3)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=37$

Explanation:

Given that the endpoints of the circle are A(-4,9) and B(-2,-3)

We need to determine the equation of the circle.

Center:

The center of the circle can be determined using the midpoint formula,

$Center=(\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})$

Substituting the coordinates A(-4,9) and B(-2,-3), we get,

$Center=(\frac{-4-2}{2},\frac{9-3}{2})$

$Center=(\frac{-6}{2},\frac{6}{2})$

$Center=(-3,3)$

Thus, the center of the circle is (-3,3)

Radius:

The radius of the circle can be determined using the distance formula,

$r=\sqrt{\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{2}-y_{1}\right)^{2}}$

Substituting the center (-3,3) and the endpoint (-4,9), we get,

$r=\sqrt{\left(-4+3\right)^{2}+\left(9-3\right)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{\left(-1\right)^{2}+\left(6\right)^{2}}$

$r=\sqrt{1+36}$

$r=\sqrt{37}$

Thus, the radius of the circle is $\sqrt{37}$

Equation of the circle:

The standard form of the equation of the circle is given by

$(x-a)^{2}+(y-b)^{2}=r^{2}$

where (a,b) is the center and r is the radius.

Substituting the values, we have,

$(x+3)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=(\sqrt{37})^{2}$

$(x+3)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=37$

Thus, the equation of the circle is $(x+3)^{2}+(y-3)^{2}=37$

Which critical value is appropriate for a 99% confidence level where nequals17, sigma is unknown, and the population appears

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

t Subscript alpha divided by 2 = 2.921

Step-by-step explanation:

With sample sizes lower than 30, we use the t-test.

Otherwise, we use the z-test.

Here, n = 17

So we use the t-test.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 17 - 1 = 16

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 16 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of 0.99( $t_{1 - (\frac{1-0.99}{2}}) = 0.995$ ). So we have T = 2.921

So the correct answer is:

t Subscript alpha divided by 2 = 2.921
