Answer:

-6

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply -2 by 3 and you get -6.

2 negatives or 2 positives equals a positive number in Multiplication and Division.

But a Negative number and a positive number equals a negative number in Multiplication and Division.

Which is the approximate solution to the system y = 0.5x + 3.5 and y = −A system of equations. y equals 0.5 x plus 3.5. y equals

Elena L [17]

Answer:

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=0.5x+3.5$ -----> equation A

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (-2.714,2.143)

see the attached figure

therefore

The approximate solution of the system of equations is the point (-2.7,2.1)

What is an equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

laila [671]

Answer:

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line $y=7x$ is $y=7x-12$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

a line $y=7x$

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( 2, 2) and is parellel to the line y=7x

Solution:

$y=7x$ ...........Given

Comparing with,

$y=mx$

Where m =slope

We get

$Slope = m = 7$

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (2 , 2) will also have the slope = m = 7.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

$(y-2)=7(x-2)=7x-14\\\\y=7x-12......Equation\ of\ line$

Therefore, equation of the line that passes through (2,2) and is parellel to the line $y=7x$ is $y=7x-12$

The data given below contain the state cigarette taxâ€‹ (in $) for all 20 regions of a country.

g100num [7]

Answer:

(a) $\bar x= 1.583$ -- Population Mean

(b) $s = 1.032$ --- Population standard deviation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cigarette tax for 20 regions

Solving (a): The population mean

This is calculated as:

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

$\sum x = 1.36 + 1.70 + 2.50 + 0.45 + 1.18 + 0.64 + 3.46 + 0.57 + 2.00 + 0.80 + 1.60 +0.98 + 0.36 + 2.24 + 4.35 + 0.62 + 2.70 + 1.78 + 1.53 + 0.84$

$\sum x = 31.66$

$n = 20$

So, we have:

$\bar x= \frac{31.66}{20}$

$\bar x= 1.583$

Solving (b): The population standard deviation

This is calculated as:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{\sum( x - \bar x)^2}{n}$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = (1.36 - 1.583)^2 + (1.70 - 1.583)^2+ (2.50 - 1.583)^2+ (0.45 - 1.583)^2+ (1.18 - 1.583)^2+ (0.64 - 1.583)^2+ (3.46 - 1.583)^2+ (0.57 - 1.583)^2+ (2.00 - 1.583)^2+ (0.80 - 1.583)^2+ (1.60 - 1.583)^2+(0.98 - 1.583)^2+ (0.36 - 1.583)^2+ (2.24 - 1.583)^2+ (4.35 - 1.583)^2+ (0.62 - 1.583)^2+ (2.70 - 1.583)^2+ (1.78 - 1.583)^2+ (1.53 - 1.583)^2+ (0.84- 1.583)^2$

$\sum (x -\bar x)^2 = 21.29222$

So:

$s = \sqrt{\frac{21.2922}{20}$

$s = \sqrt{1.06461}$

$s = 1.032$

Solving (c):

Population mean tells the average amount while the standard deviation represents the spread from the calculated mean

Option (4) is correct
