See graph

Step-by-step explanation

The given line segment passes through the point (-5,7) and  (4,-3).

We plot this points and draw a straight line to them to obtain the blue line as shown in the

attachment.

The slope of this line segment is given by the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

This implies that,

m=\frac{7--3}{-5-4}

m=-\frac{10}{9}

The equation of this line is given by the formula,

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y+3=-\frac{10}{9}(x-4)

9y+27=-10(x-4)

9y+27=-10x+40

9y=-10x+13

We now find the inverse by interchanging x and y.

9x=-10y+13

We now make y the subject,

9x-13=-10y

y=-\frac{9}{10}x+\frac{13}{10}

We now plot some points.

When

x=7

y=-\frac{9}{10}\times 7+\frac{13}{10}

y=-\frac{50}{10}=-5

This gives the ordered pair

(7,-5)

Also when

x=-3

y=-\frac{9}{10}\times -3+\frac{13}{10}

y=\frac{40}{10}=4

This gives the ordered pairs,

(-3,4)

We plot these points too and draw a straight line through them to get the red line in the attachment.

Is 2(x - 6) = -35 equivalent to 2x = -23
rusak2 [61]
Yes, if you just distribute 2(x-6). Then you would have 2x-12 = -35 then add 12 to the -35 and your answer would be 2x = -23 and leads to them being equivalent.

The table below represents the displacement of a turtle from its nest as a function of time: Time (hours) x Displacement from ne
andriy [413]
Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)

Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short,  we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

slope= \frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{93-27}{4-1}= \frac{66}{3}=22

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.

Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.

y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.

Choose the best reason for using the median as the measure of central tendency.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

The median is usually preferred in these situations because the value of the mean can be distorted by the outliers. However, it will depend on how influential the outliers are. If they do not significantly distort the mean, using the mean as the measure of central tendency will usually be preferred.
