Answer:
x = -3/10
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for x by substituting y = 3x into the other equation:
2x - 4y = 3
2x - 4(3x) = 3
Simplify and solve for x:
2x - 12x = 3
-10x = 3
x = -3/10
So, x = -3/10
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
Answer:
(d.) Those who score high on one variable tend to score low on the other.
Step-by-step explanation:
A negative value of correlation coefficient (r) shows a relationship between two variables such that as one variable increases, the other decreases. It shows the inverse relationship between two variables with the dependence determined by the value of the correlation coefficient (r).
It can be observed that for graphs with negative slope, the correlation coefficient (r) is similarly negative. This speaks about its relationship too.
The correlation coefficient being negative doesn't mean the relationship between the two variables in question is bad, it just means that the correlation relationship is inverse (still dependent). A perfectly negative correlation is -1.
