Answer:

y = -3x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Starting with the point (-1, 4) and the slope m = -3, write out the point-slope equation of a straight line: y - k = m(x - h) becomes y - 4 = -3(x + 1), or:

y = -3x - 3 + 4

y = -3x + 1 This is the same as answer choice (b).

Find the equation of the line that is parallel and passes through the point (9,6) find the equation of the line perpendicular

masya89 [10]

Any line parallel to this line can be written as y=-2/3x+c and passes through (9,6).thus 6=-2/3(9)+c.c-6=6.c=12.equation is y=-2/3x+12.

A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1070 on the SAT and 25 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Determine which test the student did better on.

He did better on whichever test he had the higher z-score.

SAT:

Scored 1070, so $X = 1070$

SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 155. This means that $\mu = 950, \sigma = 155$ .

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{1070 - 950}{155}$

$Z = 0.77$

ACT:

Scored 25, so $X = 25$

ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. This means that $\mu = 22, \sigma = 4$

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{25 - 22}{4}$

$Z = 0.75$

Due to the higher z-score, he did better on the SAT.

Suppose the population of a certain city is 5289 thousand. It is expected to decrease to 4530 thousand in 50 years. Find the per

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

14.4% decrease

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the formula for finding the percentage of decrease:

(starting value - final value) / starting value * 100.

So for your question,

$\frac{5289-4530}{5289} =.0144\\.0144 * 100 = 14.4\\$ /

There was a 14.4% decrease within 50 years.

I'm not completely sure about this answer but here is what I got: 100•15=1500 for one day of the food booth. 50•22=1100 one day for the game booth. 1500+(x9) and 1100+(x8). (1500+x)+(1100+x)=x
