Answer-

A. More churches lead to more crimes.

Solution-

Properties of Correlation Coefficient,

1- A positive correlation means that if one variable gets bigger, the other variable tends to get bigger.

2- A negative correlation means that if one variable gets bigger, the other variable tends to get smaller.

Here,there is a positive correlation between the number of churches and the city’s crime rate. So as the number of churches increase, the crime rate also gets increased.

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

What he did wrong is that he did not flip all of the points. since S is 1 point up, it would then reflect 1 point down. point P is 3 up and the reflection should be 3 down. Q should be 3 down as well and R is 1 down below the x axis. The Y does not move for all of the points.

Answer:

1. x = 67.5

2. x = 2.5

3. x = 35.2

4. x = 2.0

5. x = 17.0

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 1

The proportion is set up in the form x/9 = 15/2. Multiply both sides by two to get rid of the two in the denominator on the right side. After doing so, multiply by 9 on both sides to get rid of the 9 in the denominator on the left:

2x/9 = 15

2x = 9(15)

Next solve for x:

2x = 135

x = 67.5

Question 2

The proportion is set up in the form 20/8.7 = 5.8/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 8.7. This will leave you with the work below:

20x/8.7 = 5.8

20x = 8.7(5.8)

Next, solve for x:

20x = 50.46

x = 2.523

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.5

Question 3

The proportion is set up in the form 5/16 = 11/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 16. This will leave you with the work below:

5x/16 = 11

5x = 11(16)

Next, solve for x:

5x = 176

x = 35.2

Question 4

The proportion is set up in the form x/0.06 = 17/0.5. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 0.5, and then both sides by the first, 0.06. This will leave you with the work below:

0.5x/0.06 = 17

0.5x = 17(0.06)

Next, solve for x:

0.5x = 1.02

x = 2.04

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 2.0

Question 5

The proportion is set up in the form 29/x = 75/44. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 44, and then both sides by the first, x. This will leave you with the work below:

29(44)/x = 75

29(44) = 75x

Next, solve for x:

1276 = 75x

x = 17.0133

Round to the nearest tenth:

x = 17.0

Can you break down how to solve the problem ?

Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

A. y = $\frac{-5x}{2}$ - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Equation of the line:

5x + 2y = 12

Coordinates = -2, 4

Unknown:

The equation of the line parallel to this line = ?

To solve this problem, first, we need to find the slope of the given line.

Every linear equation have the formula: y = mx + c

m is the slope of the line, c is the y- intercept

5x + 2y = 12

Express this equation as y = mx + c

2y = -5x + 12

y = $\frac{-5}{2}x$ + 6

The slope of this line is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Now, any line that is parallel to another will not cut or cross it at any point. This simply implies they have the same slope.

Slope of the line parallel is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Our new line will also take the form y=mx + c,

Coordinates = -2, 4, x = -2 and y = 4

m is $\frac{-5}{2}$

Now let us solve for C, the y-intercept;

4 = - 2 x $\frac{-5}{2}$ + C

4 = 5 + C

C = -1

The equation of the line is therefore;

y = $\frac{-5x}{2}$ - 1
