<h3>Answer:</h3>

A. y = -1/3x + 2 . . . . . . . . assuming a typo in your problem statement

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The point (0, 2) is the y-intercept. This tells you the equation will be something of the form ...

... y = mx + 2 . . . . . . matching only answer choices A and C

_____

Knowing this, you can either substitute the values x=3, y=1 into these two equations to see which one works (it is not C), or you can look at the two points and determine the value of the slope.

The slope is ...

... (difference in y)/(difference in x) = (1-2)/(3-0) = -1/3 . . . . . matches choice A

The equation of the line is ...

... y = -1/3x + 2 . . . . . matches answer choice A

The area of a square garden is 1/49 km ^2. How long is each side?

babunello [35]

1/49=x^2 where x is the side of the square

1/49=(1/7)^2, so the side length of the square is 1/7

A time/motion word problem

andriy [413]

The two planes are flying on the two legs of a right triangle.
The straight distance between them is the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Since the speeds are in mph, let's work the time in hours.
Call the time 'H' that we're looking for.
It's the number of hours after they both take off that they're 650 miles apart.

After 'H' hours, the first plane has gone 500H miles north.
After 'H' hours, the second plane has gone 1200H miles east.
After 'H' hours, they are 650 miles apart.

Do you remember this for a right triangle ? ==> A² + B² = C²

(500H)² + (1200H)² = (650)²

250,000H² + 1,440,000H² = 422,500

1,690,000 H² = 422,500

H² = (422,500) / (1,690,000) = 0.25

H = √0.25 = 1/2 hour = 30 minutes

WHEN GIVEN A RAW SCORE, EXPLAIN HOW TO USE THE NORMAL CURVE TO COMPARE THAT SCORE TO THE POPULATION. WHAT IS A Z-SCORE?

valina [46]

<span>1. </span>When given a raw score, it must be converted into a z-score (standard score). Raw scores cannot be placed on a normal distribution curve because they do not have the same means and standard deviations, but when it is converted into a z-score, the number of standard deviations above or below the population mean can be measured. The z-scores on the center are average, the scores on the left are lower than average and the scores on the right are higher than average.

<span>2. </span>A z-score is a standard score which can be placed on a normal distribution curve. A z-score indicates the distance of the standard deviations from the mean (center of the curve).
