Answer:

\displaystyle y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = –⅔[–3] + b

2

\displaystyle 3 = b \\ \\ y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 3

Parallel equations have <em>SIMILAR RATE OF CHANGES</em> [<em>SLOPES</em>], so <em>–⅔</em> remains as is.

Answer:

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to Write the equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x

The equation in slope-intercept form is: y=mx+b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

Finding Slope:

The both equations given are parallel. So, they have same slope.

Slope of given equation y= - 2/3x is m = -2/3

This equation is in slope-intercept form, comparing with general equation  y=mx+b where m is slope , we get the value of m= -2/3

So, slope of required line is: m = -2/3

Finding y-intercept

Using slope m = -2/3 and point (-3,5) we can find y-intercept

y=mx+b\\5=-\frac{2}{3}(-3)+b\\5=2+b\\ b=5-2\\b=3

So, we get b = 3

Now, the equation of required line:

having slope m = -2/3 and y-intercept b =3

y=mx+b\\y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3

The equation of the line in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-3, 5) and is parallel to y= - 2/3x is \mathbf{y=-\frac{2}{3}x+3 }

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

About 6 athletes.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are concerned only with the percent of athletes that are above one standard deviation.

Between one standard deviation and two standard deviations, there is 13.6% of the athletes.

From 2 to 3, there is 2.1%. Above 3, there is 0.2%.

The sum of those percentages is 15.9% of 40 = 0.159 · 40 = 6.36 or about 6 athletes.

Hope this helps.

One - eighth of 7.92 x 10^10
liraira [26]
The answer is 9900000000 (thats 8 zeros) What you do is you find 10^10 which is 10000000000 (ten zeros) and multiply that by 7.92 to get 79200000000 then you just multiply it by 1/8 to get the answer.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

More than 50% would germinate

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in the production of a plant, a treatment is being evaluated to germinate seed. From a total of 60 seed it was observed that 37 of them germinated

Let us check whether more than 50% will germinate using hypothesis test

H_0: p = 0.50\\H_a: p>0.50\\

(right tailed test)

Sample proportion p =\frac{37}{60} =0.617\\q = 0.383\\Std error = \sqrt{\frac{pq}{n} } =0.0628

p difference = 0.117

Test statistic Z = p difference/std error = 1.864

p value =0.0312

Since p value <0.05 our significance level of 5% we reject null hypothesis

It is  possible to claim that most of the seed will germinate (i.e. more than 50%)
