<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The standard linear equation is given by :-

$y=mx+c$ , where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given equation to predict the average height of boys anywhere b/w birth and 15 years old:

$y=2.79x+25.64$ , where x is the age(in yrs) and y is the height (in inches).

By comparing this equation to the standard linear equation, we have

Slope = 2.79 and y-intercept = 25.64

The slope tells that the rate of change of average height of boys with respect to age is 2.79 .

The y-intercept tells that the initial average height of boys =25.64 inches

Two lines are perpendicular, and neither line is horizontal. Which of the following is not necessarily true of the lines?

musickatia [10]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>Two lines are perpendicular, and neither line is horizontal so it must be that the slopes of the lines are opposite reciprocals, one slope is positive and the other has a negative slope. Having different slopes so they should intersect the y-axis at different values.</span>

Colby adds 1 2/3 cups of flour to his mixing bowl and then realizes he put too much.He takes 1/4 cup of flour back out of the bo

galben [10]

Answer:

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe is $1\frac{5}{12}$ cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Colby adds $1\frac{2}{3}$ cups of flour to his mixing bowl and then realizes he put too much.He takes $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of flour back out of the bowl.

We have to find the quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe.

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = Number of flour cups Colby added - number of flour cups Colby taken out.

that is,

Number of flour cups Colby added = $1\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{3}$

Number of flour cups Colby taken out = $\frac{1}{4}$

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = $\frac{5}{3}-\frac{1}{4}$

taking LCM, we get, LCM(3,4) =12

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = $\frac{20-3}{12}$

The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe = $\frac{17}{12}=1\frac{5}{12}$

Thus, The quantity of flour need by Colby's recipe is $1\frac{5}{12}$ cups.

Jonah was standing at an elevation somewhere between-1 1/2

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$=-\frac{23}{12},\ -2$ and many others

Step-by-step explanation:

The limits given for Jonah's elevation with regards to sea level are

$-1\frac{1}{2}$ and $-2\frac{1}{3}$

Any number belonging to that interval could be the requested answer. We'll pick the exact center (mean value) between them:

$-1\frac{1}{2} =-\frac{3}{2}$

$-2\frac{1}{3}=-\frac{7}{3}$

Computing the mean value:

$\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{3}{2}-\frac{7}{3} \right)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\left (-\frac{23}{6}\right)$

$=-\frac{23}{12}$

Since $-2\frac{1}{3}=-2.33$

And $-1\frac{1}{2}=-1.5$

Other numbers like -1.6,-2,-2,3 can be examples of the required answer
