Answer:

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.

The y-intercept was (0,2) then it becomes (0,5) in the new line.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and the y-intercept is b.

Both of these equations given are in this form.

y=-4x+2 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=2.

Since b=2 then the y-intercept is 2.

y=-4x+5 when compared to y=mx+b you see that m=-4 and b=5.

Since b=5 then the y-intercept is 5.

So if y=-4x+2 was changed to y=-4x+5, then the y-intercept would increase by 3.

In a sample of n = 6 scores, 5 of the scores are each above the mean by one point. Where is the 6th score located relative to th

den301095 [7]

The mean of a dataset is the sum of all data elements divided by the count of the elements.

The location of the 6th score relative to the mean is 5 points below the mean

Let:

$\bar x \to$ Mean

$a \to$ 5 scores

$b \to$ 6th scores

Given that:

$n = 6$

The 5 scores that are 1 above the mean implies that:

$a = \bar x + 1$

The mean of a dataset is calculated using:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}$

So, we have:

$\bar x =\frac{5a + b}{6}$

$\bar x =\frac{5(\bar x + 1) + b}{6}$

Open brackets

$\bar x =\frac{5\bar x + 5 + b}{6}$

Multiply both sides by 6

$6\bar x =5\bar x + 5 + b$

Make b the subject

$b = 6\bar x -5\bar x - 5$

$b = \bar x - 5$

This means that the 6th score is 5 points below the mean
