Okay so $14,000 is the equivalent of 6/5ths
so divide $14,000 by 6= $2333.3r

you need 5/5
so $2333.3r x 5 = $11666.67
this is the original price

La ecuación de la recta que pasa por los puntos (2,-1) y (1,-5) es:

77julia77 [94]

Given:

A line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

If a line passes through the two points, then the equation of the line is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through the points (2,-1) and (1,-5). So, the equation of the line is

$y-(-1)=\dfrac{-5-(-1)}{1-2}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-5+1}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=\dfrac{-4}{-1}(x-2)$

$y+1=4(x-2)$

Using distributive property, we get

$y+1=4(x)+4(-2)$

$y+1=4x-8$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$y+1-1=4x-8-1$

$y=4x-9$

Therefore, the correct option is B.

sergejj [24]

Solution :

a). The point estimate of proportion of college graduates among women who work at home,

$\hat p =\frac{166}{506}$

= 0.3281

99.5% confidence interval

$=\left( \hat p \pm Z_{0.005/2} \sqrt{\frac{\hat p (1- \hat p)}{n}} \right)$

$=\left( 0.3281 \pm 2.81 \sqrt{\frac{0.3281 \times (1- 0.3281)}{506}} \right)$

$=(0.3281 \pm 0.0586)$

$=(0.2695, 0.3867)$
