To calculate mean: Just add up all the numbers, then divide by how many numbers there are.345 + 673 + 728 +775 + 822 +827 +839 + 951 = 5960/8 = 745
633 + 673 + 728 +775 + 822 +827 +839 + 951 = 6248/8 = 781781- 745 = 35 It increases by 35To find the Median, place the numbers in value order and find the middle. BUT, with an even amount of numbers things are slightly different. In that case we find the middle pair of numbers, and then find the value that is half way between them. This is easily done by adding them together and dividing by two. 345 673 728 775 822 827 839 951 The median = 822-775 /2
The median =23.5After the change633 673 728 775 822 827 839 951 The median = 822-775 /2
The median =23.5The median stays the same.

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to 8x-5y=2 and goes through the point (-5,-2)

Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

8x - 5y = - 30

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Rearrange 8x - 5y = 2 into this form

Subtract 8x from both sides

- 5y = - 8x + 2 ( divide all terms by - 5 )

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x - $\frac{2}{5}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = $\frac{8}{5}$

• Parallel lines have equal slopes, hence

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

To find c substitute (- 5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = - 2 + 8 = 6

y = $\frac{8}{5}$ x + 6 ← in slope- intercept form

Multiply through by 5

5y = 8x + 30 ( subtract 5y from both sides )

0 = 8x - 5y + 30 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

8x - 5y = - 30 ← in standard form

rodikova [14]

Answer:

Catherine's sister ate 2/15 gallons of the ice cream.

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be the amount of ice cream that Catherine's sister ate, in gallons.

Original amount: 1 gallon.

What Catherine ate: $\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}$ gallons.
What Catherine's sister ate is assumed to be $x$ gallons.

What's left: $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ gallons.

Consider the relationship:

$\text{Original amount - What Catherine ate - What Catherine's Sister ate}\\ =\text{ What's left.}$ .

That is:

$\displaystyle 1- \frac{1}{5} - x = \frac{2}{3}$ .

Add $x$ to both sides of this equation:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{3} +x$

Substract $\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}$ from both sides:

$\displaystyle 1 - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{2}{3} = x$ .

Convert the denominator of all three numbers on the left-hand side to $3 \times 5 = 15$

$\displaystyle \frac{15}{15} - \frac{3}{15} - \frac{10}{15} = x$ .

$\displaystyle x = \frac{2}{15}$ .

In other words, Catherine's sister ate $\displaystyle \frac{2}{15}$ gallons of the ice cream.
