Answer:

<h3><em>To graph the equation of a line, we plot at least two points whose coordinates satisfy the equation, and then connect the points with a line. We call these equations "linear" because the graph of these equations is a straight line.</em></h3><h3><em /></h3><h3><em>There are two important things that can help you graph an equation, slope and y-intercept.</em></h3><h3><em /></h3><h3><em>Slope</em></h3><h3><em>We're familiar with the word "slope" as it relates to mountains. Skiers and snowboarders refer to "hitting the slopes." On the coordinate plane, the steepness, or slant, of a line is called the slope. Slope is the ratio of the change in the y-value over the change in the x-value. Carpenters and builders call this ratio the "rise over the run." Using any two points on a line, you can calculate its slope using this formula.</em></h3>

Joel made egg sandwiches and tuna sandwiches in the ratio 2:3. He then made 15 more tuna sandwiches and the ratio changed to 1:3

Ksenya-84 [330]

So 2e:3t 3t+15=1e:3e so

2e:3t
3t+15
1e:3t
1e:3t=2e:6t
so 2e:6e
2e:3t+15=2e:6t
15=3t
t=5
2+3=5 units
5 times 5=25
he made 25 samiches in all
check
e:t=10:15=2:3
15+15=30
10:30=1:3
checks

he made 25 sammiches origonaly

On a number line, the distance from zero to -8 is 8 units. Which equation demonstrates this concept? A. 82 = 64 B. |-8| = 8 C. |

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is how far a number is from zero. We can use ' | | ' to represent the absolute volume of a number. The distance, or absolute value, of -8 is 8.

We can represent this by writing:

|-8| = 8

Option B should be the correct answer.

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

The mean of the sampling distribution of the sample proportions is 0.82 and the standard deviation is 0.0256.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .
