Answer:

The value of a is -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, two lines a_1 x+b_1 y=c_1 and a_2 x+b_2 y=c_2 are called parallel lines,

If \frac{a_1}{a_2}=\frac{b_1}{b_2}\neq \frac{c_1}{c_2}

If 3x + 6y = 4 and ax-8y = 12 are parallel lines,

Then, by the above property,

\frac{3}{a}=\frac{6}{-8}\neq \frac{4}{12}

\implies \frac{3}{a}=\frac{6}{-8}

By cross multiplication,

-24 = 6a

\implies -4=a ( Dividing both terms by 6}

Hence, the value of a is -4 for which 4 = 3x + 6y and ax – 8y = 12 are parallel.

On a coordinate plane, triangle T V W has points (negative 4, 8), (0, 4), and (4, 4).
Vanyuwa [196]

The coordinates of the endpoints of line segments T'V' are; T'(-1, 2) and V'(0, 1).

<h3>What are the coordinates of the endpoints of the segment T'V'?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the transformation involved in the formation of the image from the pre-image is dilation by a scale factor of 1/4.

On this note, given that the coordinates of T and V from the task content are; (-4, 8) and (0,4), it follows that the coordinates of the endpoints as required are; T'(-1, 2) and V'(0, 1).

3 over 20 as a percent
zhenek [66]
Well a percentage is basically a decimal. If we take the 20 and times it by 5,we can get a 100th of a decimal, 15/100= 0.15. Now we just change it to a percentage! 15%

The following data give the prices of seven textbooks randomly selected from a university bookstore.
swat32

Answer:

a) Mean = $121

Sum of deviations = $0

b) Standard deviation = 41.19

Variance = 1696.67

Range = $120

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data:

$91 , $176 , $108 , $115 , $56 , $157 , $144

a) Mean and sum of deviations

Mean = \displaystyle\frac{\text{Sum of all observations}}{\text{Total number of observation}}

Mean =\displaystyle\frac{847}{7} = 121

Sum of deviations =

-30 + 55 - 13 - 6 - 65 + 36 + 23 = 0

The sum of deviations is zero dollars.

b) range, variance, and standard deviation

\text{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\sum (x_i -\bar{x})^2}{n-1}}  

where x_i are data points, \bar{x} is the mean and n is the number of observations.

Sum of square of differences =

900 + 3025 + 169 + 36 + 4225 + 1296 + 529 = 10180

\sigma = \sqrt{\dfrac{10180}{6}} = 41.19\\\\\sigma^2 = 1696.67

Sorted data: 56, 91, 108, 115, 144, 157, 176

Range = Maximum - Minimum

Range = 176 - 56 = 120
