he make or lose as a scooter salesman? (NO LINKS WILL REPORT WITH OUT HESITATION)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- 100

+ 120 = 20

-140 = -20

+160 = 20

so every time he sold it, he gained 20 and lost 20 every time he bought it back

If a given data point is (1,4) and the line of best fit is y = 1.5x + 3.25, what's the residual value?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The residual value is -0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The residual value is the observed value minus the predicted value.

RESIDUAL VALUE=[OBSERVED VALUE-PREDICTED VALUE]

where

Predicted value.--> the predicted value given the current regression equation

Observed value. --> The observed value for the dependent variable.

in this problem

we have the point (1,4)

so

The observed value is 4

<em>Find the predicted value for x=1 </em>

$y =1.5(1)+3.25=4.75$

predicted value is 4.75

so

RESIDUAL VALUE=(4-4.75)=-0.75

Which ordered pair would form a proportional retationship with the points in the graph?

shtirl [24]

Answer:

(9, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

the given points are

(3, 2)

(6, 4)

so, can you see, how the sequence continues ?

I see immediately that for every 3 additional units of x we add 2 units of y.

so, yes, the next point in the sequence is

(6 + 3, 4 + 2) = (9, 6).

so, this point (or ordered pair) follows the same ratio or proportional relationship between x and y as the points already in the graph.

in other words, they are on the same line following the same slope ("y coordinate change / x coordinate change" when going from one point on the line to another).

Write a system of equations for the following situation:

wariber [46]

Answer: B) a + c = 10

8a + 5c = 59

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 10 total people went, so the first equation has to be equal to 10. The total was $59, so the second equation should be set equal to $59. Now that the second equation is for cost, we must make it 8a + 5c to represent the cost of the adult and child tickets which are $8 and $5, respectively.

Consider the line y = 7x-9.

KatRina [158]

$y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$ is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

y = 7x - 44 equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given that line is:</u></em>

y = 7x - 9

<em><u>The equation of line in slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + b ------ eqn 1

Where, "m" is the slope of line and "b" is the y intercept

On comparing eqn 1 with y = 7x - 9 we get,

m = 7

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

We know that,

Product of slope of a line and slope of line perpendicular to given is always -1

Therefore,

$7 \times \text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = -1\\\\\text{ slope of line perpendicular to it } = \frac{-1}{7}$

Now find the equation of line:

$\text{ Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } (x, y) = (6, -2) \text{ in eqn 1}$

$-2 = \frac{-1}{7} \times 6 + b\\\\-2 = \frac{-6}{7} + b\\\\b = -2+\frac{6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-14+6}{7}\\\\b = \frac{-8}{7}$

$\text{Substitute } m = \frac{-1}{7} \text{ and } b = \frac{-8}{7} \text{ in eqn 1}\\\\y = \frac{-1}{7}x -\frac{8}{7}$

Thus the equation of line perpendicular to given line is found

<h3><u>Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (6, -2)</u></h3>

Slopes of parallel lines are equal

Therefore, m = 7

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and (x, y) = (6, -2) in eqn 1</u></em>

-2 = 7(6) + b

-2 = 42 + b

b = -44

<em><u>Substitute m = 7 and b = -44 in eqn 1</u></em>

y = 7x - 44

Thus equation of line parallel to given line is found
