That is so easy :)
the answer is 24
All you gotta do is pick a random point on the x-axis, lets say, x=2 in this case, and plug it into the equation.
If x=2, y = (1/2)2 - 3 = 2 - 3 = -1
When x = 2, y = -1
Now pick another point, x = 1
x = 1, y = (1/2)1 - 3 = 0.5 - 3 = - 2.5
When x = 1, y = - 2.5
Draw a cross on those 2 points, on the 2d plane
(1, -2.5) and (2, -1)
and draw a line between them, and make the line continue past the points, having no boundaries but the paper you hold, keeping it straight the entire time. With not turns.
If you want to draw out a table, make it have 2 rows, and 6 columns.
Write x in the first column of the first row, and write y in the first column of the second row.
Now, write down a different, random x value, in each column in the first row.
In the second row, in each column, write the y value, that corresponds to the x value given above each individual column, based on the equation
y = 1/2x - 3.
Find the ratio of the similar known sides:
1.34/2 = 0.67
The smaller triangle is 0.67 the size of the larger one.
Multiply the similar sides by the ratio:
DE = 4 x 0.67 = 2.68
FE = 3 x 0.67 = 2.01
Answer:
Claim is true that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :In a study of 799 randomly selected medical malpractice lawsuits, it was found that 499 of them were dropped or dismissed.
To Find : Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Solution:
n = 799
x = 499
We will use one sample proportion test

We are given that the claim is most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
Probability of dropped or dismissed is 1/2

Formula of test statistic = 
=
= 7.038
p value (z>7.038) is 0
α =0.05
So, p value < α
So, we reject the null hypothesis
So,claim is true
Hence most medical malpractice lawsuits are dropped or dismissed.
