Answer: Solution: (12, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 4y = 12
3x + 4y = 48
Add both equations
5x = 60
Divide both sides by 5
x = 12
We can use the value of x to find y
3x + 4y = 48
3 (12) + 4y = 48
36 + 4y = 48
Subtract 36 from both sides
4y = 12
Divide both sides by 4
y = 3
Solution: (12, 3)
Answer:
C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A store receives a shipment of 5,000 MP3 players. In a previous shipment of 5,000 MP3 players, 300 were defective. A store clerk generates random numbers to simulate a random sample of this shipment. The clerk lets the numbers 1 through 300 represent defective MP3 players, and the numbers 301 through 5,000 represent working MP3 players. The results are given.
948 628 87 4,987 938 468 3,589 298 2,459 2,286
Based on this sample, how many of the MP3 players might the clerk predict would be defective?
The manager would expect
defective players in the shipment.
Answer: Choice A
y + 1 = -3(x+2)
=============================
Explanation:
Let's look through the answer choices.
Choices C and D show that the point (2,1) is on the line. But the graph does not show this. So we can rule out choices C and D.
With choice A, the slope is negative and choice B has a positive slope.
The answer must be choice A because the line is going downhill as we move from left to right.
--------------
A common method is to pick two points on the line and compute the slope using the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
Once you know the slope, you would use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
