Bess [88]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

x = 0.9

Step-by-step explanation:

according to proportion;

= 4x : 3 = 6 : 5

= 4x / 3 = 6 / 5

= 4x = (6 / 5) × 3

= 4x = 1.2 × 3

= x = 3.6 / 4

= x = 0.9 or 9/10

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get
SpyIntel [72]
If the entire race is 40 miles, then the second checkpoint is 3/4 of the whole way, which is 30 miles because 40 ÷ 4 = 10 and 10 x 3 = 30. This means that there are 30 miles between the start and the second checkpoint. 2/5 of 30 is 12 because 30 ÷ 5 = 6 and 6 x 2 = 12. Therefore, the answer is 12 miles

What is the best estimate for the value of r in the scatter plot?
Wittaler [7]

From the observation of the dispersion graph it is concluded that the answer to this question is option D. r = -0.5.

The correlation coefficient "r" is a measure of the linear relationship between two random variables.

When the correlation is positive, the value of "r" is between 0 and 1. This means that when one variable increases the other too.

When the correlation is negative, the value of "r" is between -1 and 0. This means that one variable decreases as the other increases.

When there is no correlation the value of "r" is 0


In this case, the dispersion chart shows that the variable "y" decreases as the variable "x" increases. Therefore the value of "r" must be negative. Of all the options, the only one that presents a value of negative r is option D:

 r = -0.5

Which of the following is not a way to represent the solution of the inequality 3(2x − 1) greater than or equal to 4(2x − 3) − 3
vfiekz [6]
3(2x - 1) > = 4(2x - 3) - 3
6x - 3 > = 8x - 12 - 3
6x - 3 > = 8x - 15
6x - 8x > = -15 + 3
-2x > = -12
x < = -12/-2
x < = 6


the incorrect one is : A number line with a closed circle on 6, shading to the right

The TV repairman charges $40 to come out to your house and check the TV
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

The equation to find the cost of repairing a TV is:

y = 25x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the slope-intercept form of the line equation is

y=mx+b

where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept

Given that the TV chairman charges $40 to come out to your house and check the TV  plus $25 per hour of labor.

It means $40 is the y-intercept because it represents the starting point/condition of the repairman.

Let 'x' be the number of hours and y be the cost.

The rate of change = 25$ per hour of labor

  • The rate of change can also be termed as the slope.

Thus, m = 25

Hence, the slope-intercept form of the line equation becomes

y = mx+b

substituting m = 25 and b=40

y = 25x + 40

Therefore, the equation to find the cost of repairing a TV is:

y = 25x + 40

Validation:

y = 25x + 40

putting x = 1 to determine the cost if labor works for 1 hour.

y = 25(1) + 40 = $65

putting x = 2 to determine the cost if labor works for 2 hours.

y = 25(2) + 40 = $95
