Answer:

loaded question

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is biased with an opinion that directs the surveyed people to respond by a negative answer.

The problematic part is "which restrict the ability of Americans to protect their families".  That's a judgement value and an opinion that prevents the people to give an honest answer to the base question.

"Do you believe that gun control laws should be eliminated?", would be a more correct version of that biased question.  An even better question would be to identify a specific law in the question.

Is 7x-y=6 Independent
Stella [2.4K]
1. Slope = 7

2. x-intercept = 6/7 = 0.85714

3. y-intercept = 6/ - 1 = -6.00000

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right if the equal sign from both sides of the equation:

7x-y- (6) = 0

Julia can finish a 20-mile bike ride in 1.2 hours. Katie can finish the same bike ride in 1.6 hours. To the nearest tenth of a m
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

julia : 20 miles in 1.2 hrs = (20/1.2) = 16.67 miles per hr

katie : 20 miles in 1.6 hrs = (20 / 1.6) = 12.5 miles per hr

how much faster does julia ride then katie...

16.67 - 12.5 = 4.17 rounds to 4.2 miles per hr faster <==

Please help with 22. and 23.
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

22) y=1/4x-3/4

23) y=-1/3x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

22 ) Using the rise/run strategy, we can find the slope. From (-1,-1) you go up 1 unit to reach the same level as (3,0), and go right 4 to reach (3,0). This means your rise/run is 1/4, which is also your slope. Now to find the y-intercept, we can use the equation format y=mx+b. m is your slope, which we have, and b is the y intercept. With y and x, we can substitute in a point we already know, for example (-1,-1) as (x,y). When everything we know is substituted in, we get -1=(1/4)(-1)+b. According to PEMDAS, we should now multiply 1/4 and -1 to get (-1/4). Now our equation is -1=-1/4+b. To isolate B, we need to add 1/4 on both sides. As a result, you'll get -3/4. Your y intercept is -3/4. Thus, the final equation is y=1/4x-3/4.

23) This question is a lot more straight forward than question 22. In this question, you're already given everything in the equation to substitute everything in. Like I said before, the format for a linear equation is y=mx+b where m is your slope and b is your y intercept. This question already gives you both the slope and y intercept, so you can just fill it in. (m = -1/3, b= -9) Thus, you'll get y=-1/3x-9.
