Answer:

5x +y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a point and slope, it often works well to start with the point-slope form of the equation for a line:

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

Your point and slope make this ...

y -6 = -5(x -2)

y -6 = -5x +10 . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

5x +y = 16 . . . . . . . . . add 5x+6 to both sides; your standard form equation

On a standardized exam, the scores are normally distributed with a mean of 165 and astandard deviation of 40. Find the z-score o

vladimir1956 [14]

The Z-score is calculated by the formula below

$\begin{gathered} z-score=\frac{(x-\mu)}{\sigma}_{} \\ \mu=\operatorname{mean} \\ \sigma=s\tan dard\text{ deviation} \\ x=\text{score} \end{gathered}$

Step 2: Substitute the given parameters in the formula

$\begin{gathered} z-\text{score}=\frac{145-165}{40} \\ Z=-\frac{20}{40} \\ Z=-\frac{1}{2} \\ Z=-0.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the z-score of a person who scored 145 on the exam is -0.5

C=a+8 the variable A represents the number of events attended, and the variable C represents the total cost. What is the total c

Nitella [24]

If a is the number of events, then a = 1. Plugging in 1 for a in the equation $C=a+8$ , you get $C=1+8=9$ .

Total cost is $9.

URGENT <br>Perform the indicated operation and simplify the result.

yan [13]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: (2a - 1) / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{12a^{2} - 3}{2} (2a + 1)^{-2} ( \frac{6}{(2a +1)^{-1} } \\$

$\frac{3(4a^{2} -1)}{2} \frac{1}{(2z + 1)^{2} } (\frac{2a + 1)}{6}$

$\frac{3(2a + 1)(2a- 1) (2a + 1)}{12(2a + 1)(2a + 1)}$

$\frac{(2a - 1)}{4}$

The equation shows the relationship between x and y:

dedylja [7]

Slope is generally showed by a variable, the variable can be represented by any letter. In this case the variable is represented by x

so the slope is the number that comes before the x, so the slope of this equation is -8

So your answer is A
