Answer:

y = -51 ÷ x

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard format of a inversely proportional equation goes by the format of y = k ÷ x. The question asks us to write an equation if y = -3 when x = 17 and y varies inversely with x.

So we substitute the values y = -3 and x = 17 in the equation y = k ÷ x

K = constant, we have to work this out

-3 = k ÷ 17

-3 × 17 = k

k = -3 × 17

k = -51

k = -51 So then we put this back into the original y = k ÷ x to find our final equation which is y = -51 ÷ x

The slope of the lines that passes through the points (-10,0) and (-13,3)
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is:

\frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points on the line. We can substitute the points (-10, 0) and (-13, 3) into the formula and simplify:

\frac{3-0}{-13-(-10)} =\frac{3}{-13+10} =\frac{3}{-3} =-1

This means the slope of the line is -1.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

(-16.494 ; -3.506)

Step-by-step explanation:

student Prob A Prob B difference, d (A-B)

1 20 35____ - 15

2 30 40 ___ - 10

3 15 20 ___ - 5

4 40 50 __ - 10

Difference, d = -15, -10, -5, -10

Xd = Σd/ n = - 40 / 4 = - 10

Standard deviation of d ; Sd = 4.082

The confidence interval for the difference is given as :

Xd ± Tcritical*(Sd/√n)

Tcritical at 95%; df = n - 1 ; 4 - 1 = 3

Tcritical(0.05, 3)). = 3.182

C.I = -10 ± 3.182(4.082/√4)

C.I = -10 ± 6.494462

C. I = (-16.494 ; -3.506)
