Hoi!

The formula for an equation in slope-intercept is y = mx + b

M = Slope
B = Y-intercept

\frac{4}{3} - Slope
10.7 - Y-intercept

Quick Answer
Slope = 4/3
y intercept = - 10.7
Comment:
Important
When the line is written in the form that is, both the slope and the y intercept can just be read.
But before that let's clarify what we mean. First of all, y = 4x/3 - 10.7 must be what the question says.

It can also be written as y = (4/3)x - 10.7 which is probably the best way.

Some people write it as y = 4/3 x - 10.7 with a space 

Since you have written it as y = 4/3 x - 10.7 there is room to believe that you meant y = 4 / (3x) - 10.7. I am however going to interpret it as y = (4x)/3 - 10.7. If that is incorrect, leave me a note and I will correct it. y = 4/(3x) has no consistent slope.

Solution
In this form, the slope and y intercept are both just read from the given equation.

Slope
Whatever coefficient is on the left side of x is the slope. In this case it is just (4/3) The x is not part of the slope. The x and y values must be on opposite sides of the equal sign and the coefficient of y must be 1.

y intercept
That too is just read. If it is on the same side of the equal sign as the x and the slope then it is the value of y when x = 0. So in this case y = (4/3)*0 - 10.7 is y = - 10.7

Answer: Slope = (4/3);
y intercept = -10.7

Comment
I have left you a graph to show you the difference
y = 4x/3 - 10.7 is the blue line
y = 4/(3x) - 10.y is the red line

A chemist examines 15 geological samples for potassium chloride concentration. The mean potassium chloride concentration for the
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375    

0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377    

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided

\bar X=0.376 represent the sample mean for the chloride concentration

\mu population mean (variable of interest)

s=0.0012 represent the sample standard deviation

n=15 represent the sample size  

Confidence interval

The confidence interval for the mean is given by the following formula:

\bar X \pm t_{\alpha/2}\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}   (1)

Since we need to find the critical value first we need to begin finding the degreed of freedom

df=n-1=15-1=14

The Confidence is 0.95 or 95%, the significance would be \alpha=0.05 and \alpha/2 =0.025, and the critical value for this case with a t distribution with 14 degrees of freedom is t_{\alpha/2}=2.145

And the confidence interval is:

0.376-2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.375    

0.376+2.145\frac{0.0012}{\sqrt{15}}=0.377    

And we are 95% confident that the true mean of chloride concentration is between 0.375 and 0.377 cc/ cubic meter

Tommy finished 3/5 of the race in 6 hour. how long was the entire race?
lesya692 [45]

Hello there,

Well to find the total time you would have to set up a proportion...

6 / 3/5 = x / 1

Now you crosss multiply and divide...

6 * 1 = 6

6 / 3/5 =30/3 = 10


Answer: 10 hours


Hope I helped!!

!30 POINTS! How can I use this trapezoid to prove the Pythagorean Theorem?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Pythagorean Theorem: c2 = a2 + b2

Find the area by adding the areas of the three triangles. The area of a right triangle is: A = ½bh

Two triangles are identical so you can just multiply the area of the first triangle by two: 2A1 = 2(½bh) = 2(½ab) = ab.

The total area of the trapezoid is : A1 + A2 = ab + ½c2

You multiply both sides by 2 to get rid of the ½: (a2 + 2ab + b2) = 2ab + c2

You subtract out the 2ab: a2 + b2 = c2.

Then what is left is the proof: a2 + b2 = c2

Solve the variable<br>Show ALL steps.<br>-25 + x = 37​
vodomira [7]

Answer:

x=62

Step-by-step explanation:

1. add + 25 to both sides because when you have a negative you have to add.

2.  When you add 25 to 37 you get 62.

therefore 62 is the answer
