Answer:

y = (7/2)x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use slope-intercept formula for linear equations y = mx + b

x and y show what points are on the line. We know (4, 12). x= 4 and y = 12

b is the y-intercept, which b = -2.

m is the slope.

To write the equation, you need the slope and y-intercept. Find the slope by putting x, y and b into the formula.

y = mx + b

12 = 4m - 2

14 = 4m

14/4 = m

m = 7/2

Put "m" into the formula with "b"

y = (7/2)x - 2

Use a table to find a z-score that fits the given conditions. Interpolate if necessary.

<span>After deeply looking at the table it seems
z= .05
which means only 52% is less than Z

so, that is greater than z by 48%</span>

The sum of 6 consecutive even numbers is 270.What is the second number in this sequence?

Finger [1]

Answer: 42

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the six consecutive even numbers be x , x+2 , x+4 ,x+6 ,x+8 ,x+10.

Then According to the question , we have

$x+(x+2)+(x+4)+(x+6)+(x+8)+(x+10)=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10=270\\\\\Rightarrow\6x+30=270\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=270-30\\\\\Rightarrow\ 6x=240\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=40$

Now, the second number from the above six consecutive even numbers is x+2.

Substitute the value of x in it, we get

The second number in this sequence = $x+2=40+2=42$

If 12 and 20 each divide K without a remainder, what is the value of K?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Factors of 12 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Factors of 20: 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20

In both lists of factors, 4 is in common. Therefore, the value of K is 4 because it can divide into both 12 and 20 without a remainder. 2 is also another possible value of K.
