<span>What is the slope of the line that is parallel to the y-axis and passes through the point (–1, 5)?

check the picture below.

the y-axis is a vertical line, thus any line parallel to it, will also be a vertical line, so, let's pick another point, hmmmmm say -1, 3, thus

</span> $\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -1 &,& 5~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ -1 &,& 3~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1+1}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{-2}{0}}$ <span>

Undefined because the slop of the y axis is undefined

Heidi Muir, a sporting goods wholesaler, purchased goods from a supplier for $3,400. The

Lena [83]

Answer:

56.44%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we have the following values

% Discount = 3%

Full allowed payment days = 30 days

Discount days = 10 days

1 year = 365 days

The formula for Effective Annual rate or Annual rate in effect =

Discount %/(1-Discount %) x (365 days/(Full allowed payment days - Discount days))

= 3%/(1 - 3%) × (365 days/30 days - 10 days)

= 0.03/(1 - 0.03) × (365/20)

= 0.03/0.97 × (365/20)

= 0.5644329897

Converting to percentage

0.5644329897 × 100

= 56.44329897%

Approximately = 56.44%

Therefore, the annual rate Heidi, in effect, is paying the supplier if she fails to pay the invoice at the end of the discount period is 56.44%

The mayor of a town has proposed a plan for the construction of an adjoining bridge. A political study took a sample of 13001300

Ket [755]

Answer:

No, there is not enough evidence at the 0.02 level to support the strategist's claim.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a political study took a sample of 1300 voters in the town and found that 57% of the residents favored construction.

And, a political strategist wants to test the claim that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 54%, i.e;

Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : p = 0.54 {means that the percentage of residents who favor construction is 54%}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_1$ : p > 0.54 {means that the percentage of residents who favor construction is more than 54%}

The test statistics we will use here is;

T.S. = $\frac{\hat p -p}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1- \hat p)}{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, p = actual percentage of residents who favor construction = 0.54

$\hat p$ = percentage of residents who favor construction in a sample of

1300 voters = 0.57

n = sample of voters = 1300

So, Test statistics = $\frac{0.57 -0.54}{\sqrt{\frac{0.57(1- 0.57)}{1300} } }$

= 2.185

Now, at 0.02 significance level, the z table gives critical value of -2.3263 to 2.3263. Since our test statistics lie in the range of critical values which means it doesn't lie in the rejection region, so we have insufficient evidence to reject null hypothesis.

Therefore, we conclude that the percentage of residents who favor construction is 54% and the strategist's claim is not supported.
