Answer:

y= -2/5 x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation is y=mx+b. Where m=slope and b=y-intercept. To find b, you would see at what point does the line cross the y axis. That would be at -4 so, -4 would be the b or y-intercept. To find m, you would take two points on the line and use this equation:

m=(y2 - y1 )/(x2 - x1)

If you were using the points, (-10,0) and (0, -4) the equation would be:

m=(-4-0) / (0+10)

So, m= -2/5

The equation of the line would end up being:

y= -2/5 x -4

jenny went to the mall with $120 in her wallet.she spent $25.65 on a shirt, $7.98 on a pair of socks, $16.23 on a cd , and $4.58

Effectus [21]

Total money=$120
on shirt=$25.65
on socks=$7.98
on a cd=$16.23
on snack=$4.58
so total money left=total money-total money spent
=$120-($25.65+$7.98+$16.23+$4.58)
=$120-$54.44
so total money left=$65.56

IQ scores on the WAIS test approximate a normal curve with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. What IQ score is identi

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

IQ scores of at least 130.81 are identified with the upper 2%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

This means that $\mu = 100, \sigma = 15$

What IQ score is identified with the upper 2%?

IQ scores of at least the 100 - 2 = 98th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.98, so X when Z = 2.054.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$2.054 = \frac{X - 100}{15}$

$X - 100 = 15*2.054$

$X = 130.81$

IQ scores of at least 130.81 are identified with the upper 2%.

Why is it helpful to write numbers in different ways

Goshia [24]

You should write numbers in as many ways as you possibly can to make new connections in your brain. Knowing how to write numbers in many different ways can help you solve complex problems more easily. Doing this can also reinforce the mathematical principles and logic you have memorised.

Writing one in many different ways:

1=1/1=2/2=3/3=4/4=(-1)/(-1)=(-2)/(-2)

=1.0=1.00=1.000=(1/2)+(1/2)=(1/3)+(1/3)+(1/3)

=(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)+(1/4)

Writing a half in many different ways:

1/2=(1/4)+(1/4)=(1/6)+(1/6)+(1/6)

=(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)+(1/8)=4*(1/8)

=2/4=3/6=4/8=5/10=0.5=0.50

etc...etc...

Maths<br><br> Pls help me!!!!

Leokris [45]

Answer:

P(0, 4), Q(-3, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the y-coordinate of P, replace x with 0 and solve for y:

3y = 12

y = 4 . . . . . divide by 3

To find the x-coordinate of Q, replace y with 0 and solve for x:

-4x = 12

x = -3 . . . . . divide by -4

Then the intercepts are P(0, 4) and Q(-3, 0). The line is drawn through those points for the indicated values of x.
