If D is the midpoint of GH, then GH equals 2(DH) = 16
16 = 4x - 1
4x = 17
x = 17/4
x = 4.25

Answer:

x=4.25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that GH= $4x-1$

and DH=8

D is the mid point of GH

We have to value of x

We know that D is the mid point then

DH=DG

DH+DG=GH (segment addition property)

$8+8=4x-1$

$16=4x-1$

$4x=16+1$

$4x=17$

$x=\frac{17}{4}$

x=4.25

Carrie and Ryan have both computed the slope of the least-squares line using data for which the standard deviation of the x-valu

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Carrie's slope value is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The least square regression line is: $(y -\bar y)=b_{yx} (x-\bar x)$

Here $b_{yx}$ is the slope of the line.

The formula to compute the slope is:

$b_{yx}=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}}$

Here $\sigma_{x}$ = standard deviation of x and $\sigma_{y}$ = standard deviation of y.

It is provided that the standard deviation of x and y are equal.

So the slope of the regression line is:

$b_{yx}=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{y}}=r\frac{\sigma_{x}}{\sigma_{x}}=r$

Thus, if the standard deviation of x and y are equal the slope of the line is same as the correlation coefficient.

The correlation coefficient is a measure used to determine the strength of the linear relationship between the variables.

It ranges from -1 to 1.

Carrie's slope value was 0.50 and Ryan's slope value was 2.

Since -1 ≤ r ≤ 1 the value of slope cannot be 2.

Thus, Ryan's slope value is incorrect.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line.

timurjin [86]

Answer:

y = -1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

You can see that the slope is -1/2 because of the rise over run.

It also crosses the y axis at 4,

so it is y = -1/2x + 4

A rectangle's perimeter and its area have the same numerical value. The width of the rectangle is 3 units. What is

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

l = 6.00

Step-by-step explanation:

So A = l x w and P = 2l + 2w, they say they are equal to l (w) = 2l + 2w and we know that w = 3 so

3l = 2l + 2(3), so l = 6.
