This equation is written in standard form, so we need to change it into slope-intercept form.

3x = -y - 5

3x + y = -y + y - 5

3x + y = -5

3x - 3x + y = -5 - 3x

y = -5 - 3x

y = -3x - 5

The slope is classified as "m" in this type of equation, so, the slope is -3.

Best of Luck!

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Isolate the Y

2. once it looks like this y+3x=-5, you subtract y on both sides.

3. you get y=-3x + 5. the slope being -3.

there were 936,795 bankruptcy filings in 2018. If there were 310,061 chapter 13 filings, what percent were not chapter 13

Marat540 [252]

66.90% of the total bankruptcy fillings are not chapter 13 fillings.

What is bankruptcy?

This is a situation where the management of a company declares that it could no longer pay its debt obligations as it does have the cash resources to do so.

In this case, the total number of bankruptcy fillings is 936,795, out of which 310,061 are chapter 13 filings

fillings that were not chapter 13=936,795-310,061

fillings that were not chapter 13=626,734

fillings that were not chapter 13 as % of total fillings=626,734/936,795

fillings that were not chapter 13 as % of total fillings=66.90%

Suppose the time to complete a 200-meter backstroke swim for female competitive swimmers is normally distributed with a mean μ =

hammer [34]

Answer:

The swimmer must complete the 200-meter backstroke in no more than 130 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

$\mu = 141, \sigma = 7$
