Answer:
In the equation of a straight line (when the equation is written as "y = mx + b"), the slope is the number "m" that is multiplied on the x, and "b" is the y-intercept (that is, the point where the line crosses the vertical y-axis). This useful form of the line equation is sensibly named the "slope-intercept form".

Standardized tests: In a particular year, the mean score on the ACT test was 19.3 and the standard deviation was 5.3. The mean score on the SAT mathematics test was 532 and the standard deviation was 128. The distributions of both scores were approximately bell-shaped. Round the answers to at least two decimal places. Part: 0/4 Part 1 of 4 (a) Find the z-score for an ACT score of 26. The Z-score for an ACT score of 26 is
Answer:
1.26
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
For ACT:
Mean score, m = 19.3
Standard deviation, s = 5.3
Zscore for ACT score of 26;
Using the Zscore formula :
(x - mean) / standard deviation
x = 26
Zscore :
(26 - 19.3) / 5.3
= 6.7 / 5.3
= 1.2641509
= 1.26
Answer: x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-3(x+4)=3x-4
distribute 2x-3x-12=3x-4
combine like terms 5x-12=3x-4
Move everything to one side 2x-8=0
Get x by itself 2x=8
Divide by 2 x=4
