Answer: (y + 3) = -1/3 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point-slope form has the form of

y - y1 = m (x - x1)

Where

y1 is the y-value of a point on the line

x1 is the x-value of a point on the line

m is the slope of the line

The problem already gives a point on the line, (2, -3)

(y + 3) = m (x - 2)

Remember to put the opposite value of the x and y values. (In other words, do NOT write (y - 3) = m (x + 2) )

The slope of a perpendicular line is the opposite reciprocal of slope of the line it is perpendicular to. The perpendicular line given in the equation is

3x - y = 4

When rearranged to slope-intercept form, we get

y = 3x - 4

Meaning the slope of the perpendicular line is 3. The opposite reciprocal of positive three is negative one-third. Therefore, the slope of the line we are solving for is -1/3.

Answer:

(1) Variance = 4.5 and Standard deviation = 2.121.

(2) Variance = 4.5 and Standard deviation = 2.121.

(3) The effect on the measure of dispersion if each value is changed uniformly is that it remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given with the following set of data below;

X $X-\bar X$ $(X-\bar X)^{2}$

5 5 - 8 = -3 9

8 8 - 8 = 0 0

10 10 - 8 = 2 4

9 9 - 8 = 1 1

6 6 - 8 = -2 4

Total 72 36

Firstly, the mean of the above data is given by;

Mean, $\bar X$ = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$

= $\frac{72}{9}$ = 8

(1)Now, the variance of the given data is;

Variance = $\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1}$

= $\frac{36}{9-1}$ = 4.5

So, the standard deviation, (S.D.) = $\sqrt{\text{Variance}}$

= $\sqrt{4.5}$ = 2.12

(2) Now, each value is added by 2; so the new data set is given by;

X $X-\bar X$ $(X-\bar X)^{2}$

7 7 - 10 = -3 9

10 10 - 10 = 0 0

12 12 - 10 = 2 4

11 11 - 10 = 1 1

8 8 - 10 = -2 4

Total 90 36

Firstly, the mean of the above data is given by;

Mean, $\bar X$ = $\frac{\sum X}{n}$

= $\frac{90}{9}$ = 10

(1)Now, the variance of the given data is;

Variance = $\frac{\sum (X-\bar X)^{2} }{n-1}$

= $\frac{36}{9-1}$ = 4.5

So, the new standard deviation, (S.D.) = $\sqrt{\text{Variance}}$

= $\sqrt{4.5}$ = 2.12

(3) The effect on the measure of dispersion if each value is changed uniformly is that it remains unchanged as we see in the case of variance or standard deviation.

Write a proportion you could use to convert 2.5 gallons to quarts.

marusya05 [52]

We know there are 4 quarts in a gallon, so how many quarts in 2.5 gallons anyway?

$\bf \begin{array}{ccll}
quarts&gallons\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
4&1\\
x&2.5
\end{array}\implies \cfrac{4}{x}=\cfrac{1}{2.5}\implies \cfrac{4\cdot 2.5}{1}=x$

Factor 15z^2+17z-18 please show work

siniylev [52]

There is no common factor between 15, 17 and 18 because 17 is prime.

15z² +17z - 18 =

d = 17² - 4.15.-18

d = 289 + 1080

d = 1369

z = (-17 +/- \/1369) : 2 * 15

z = (-17 + 37) : 30

z' = 20 : 30 = 2/3

z" = (-17 - 37) : 30

z" = -54 : 30 = -1.8

There are 18 female teachers and 5 male teachers at Ashley's school. What is the ratio of the number of female teachers to the n

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The ratio of the number of female teachers to the number of male teachers is 18:5.

Step-by-step explanation:

First: Review how to write a ratio:

To write a ratio, take the two quantities, and put them on both sides of a colon (:). So, our two quantities our 18 and 5. But, they need to be in a specific order:

There are 18 female teachers and 5 male teachers at Ashley's school. What is the ratio of the number of female teachers to the number of male teachers?

Since, they mentioned the number of female teachers first, we put the quantity of female teachers first. So we will write 18 first and 5 after. So, the ratio is 18:5.
