Jose’s school has 426 students. His principal has promised the Student Council that their idea will be carried out if they can g

et at least 25% of the student population to sign a petition. So far, 82 students have signed the petition. Jose used the following steps to write an inequality that can be used to determine the number of student signatures still needed: Step 1. Declare the variable: Let x = the number of student signatures still needed. Step 2. Create a ratio equivalent to StartFraction total number of signatures needed over total number of students in the school EndFraction : StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction. Step 3. Convert 25% to a decimal: 25% = 0.25. Step 4. Write the inequality: StartFraction x + 82 over 426 EndFraction less-than-or-equal-to 0.25. What is Jose’s error? In Step 1, x should be equal to the total number of students in the school. In Step 2, the ratio should be StartFraction x over 426 EndFraction. In Step 3, the decimal should be 0.025. In Step 4, the inequality should

Answer: Step 4

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

1. Define variable x as student signatures still needed  (Correct)

2)\ \dfrac{x+82}{426}              (Correct)

3. 25% = 0.25      (Correct)

4)\ \dfrac{x+82}{426}\leq 0.25      (Error)!

The inequality symbol should be GREATER THAN or equal to (≥) because Jose needs 25% or more (not less).

Which of the following is a point-slope equation of a line that passes through the points (-1,4) and (8,-2)
dexar [7]

Answer:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

For reference, a linear function has an equation of y = mx + b

The first thing we're going to do is use the slope formula, \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} or rise over run. In this case that looks like:

(-2-4) - (8 - -1)

-2 -4 comes out to - 6, and the denominator comes out to 9.

6/9 is equal to 2/3, which is our m or slope value.

Next we want to find the b value, or our y-intercept. To do that we'll plug one of the points into the equation with our new-found slope:

4 = (2/3)-1 +b

4 = -2/3 + b

4 2/3 = b

That means our complete equation is:

y = (2/3)x + 4 2/3

OR

y = (2/3)x + 14/3 (equivalent but an improper fraction rather than a mixed fraction).

Determine if each pair of ratios or rates is equivalent. Explain your reasoning. 288 miles on 12 gallons of fuel; 240 miles 10 g
lesantik [10]
Yes they are equivalent. This is because if you simplify each fraction : 288/12 and 240/10 they both equal 24.
\frac{288}{12}  = 24
\frac{240}{10}  = 24
