Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

From the table attached,

Ordered pairs to be plotted → (1, 472.08), (2, 454.26), (3, 444.95), (4, 439.49), (5, 436.55)

By using linear regression calculator,

Equation of the regression line → y = -8.583x + 475.215

Option D will be the answer.

Which of these is a point-slope equation of the line that is perpendicular to y-25 = 2(x - 10) and passes through (-3, 7)?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

B. y-7 = 1/2(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates in the question must be inverted (so -3 would become +3 and +7 would become -7)

We know that the line would be perpendicular when (x+3) is preceded by -2

You can double check this by going to a website that graphs equations and overlapping the lines.

A solution containing 12% alcohol is to be mixed with a solution containing 4% alcohol to make 20 gallons of solution containing

stepan [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a solution containing 12% alcohol is to be mixed with a solution containing 4% alcohol to make 20 gallons of solution containing 9% alcohol.

Let x gallons of 12% alcohol be mixed with y gallons of 4% alcohol.

Total gallons $= x+y = 20$

Alcohol content in the total mixture $= 0.12x+0.04y =9% of x+y$

$0.12x+0.4y=0.09(20)\\12x+4y = 180$

b) Two equations are

$x+y = 20\\12x+4y = 180$

c) This is of the form Ax = B

where A = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\12&4\end{array}\right]$

Inverse is $\frac{1}{4-12} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-1\\-12&12\end{array}\right]\\=\frac{-1}{8} \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&-1\\-12&12\end{array}\right]\\$
