Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L be the given line, then, with a slope of -8

L : y = -8x + b

where b is to be determined from the included point A(-10,0).

Substitute point A in L to get

0 = -8 (-10) + b

solve to get

b = -80

therefore

L : y = -8x -80

Now substitute B(-9,z) in L

z = -8(-9) - 80 = -8

Answer:

z = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinate points are:

(-10 , 0) = (x1 , y1)

(-9 , z) = (x2 , y2)

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

-8 = z - 0/-9 - (-10)

-8 = z/-9 + 10

-8 = z/1

-8*1 = z

-8 = z

therefore the value of z is -8.

In certain county, the number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the numbervof alternative schools. We know that there are

Vitek1552 [10]

1. Let's call the number of carter school: "x" and "y" the number of alternative school. Then, you have that:

- The number of charter schools is 4 less than twice the number of alternative schools.
 - There are 48 charter schools in the country.

2. So, you have:

x=2y-4 (i)

x=48 (ii)

3. Then, when you substitute x=48 into the equation (i), you obtain:

x=2y-4
 48=2y-4

4. Now, you must clear "y, as below:

48+4=2y
2y=52
y=52/2
y=26

How many alternative schools are in the county?

The answer is: There are 26 alternative schools.

I have many students are represented in the data set?

nalin [4]

Answer:

a) 19 students

b) the mean 3 9/19

the median 3

the mode 3

c) the range 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The data set shows that

0 points gets 1 student,

1 point gets 1 student,

2 points get 2 students,

3 points get 6 students,

4 points get 4 students,

5 points get 3 students and

6 points get 2 students.

a) There are 1+1+2+6+4+3+2=19 students.

b) The mean is

$\dfrac{1\cdot 0+1\cdot 1+2\cdot 2+6\cdot 3+4\cdot 4+3\cdot 5+2\cdot 6}{19}=\dfrac{66}{19}=3\dfrac{9}{19}.$

The average score is 3 9/19 points.

The median is 10th term in the data set - 3 points (means the middle score in the data set)

The mode is 3 points (means most happened score)

c) The range of the data is 6-0=6 points.
