3x - y = -1
-y = -3x - 1
y = 3x + 1....slope here is 3

a shallower one would be : C, 1/5

1/5 (c) since it goes up only one and then over 5

Answer:

The equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of the line equation

$y = mx+b$

where

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

Given the line

3x - 4y = 7

writing in the slope-intercept form

4y = 3x - 7

dividing both sides by 4

4y/4 = 3/4x - 7/4

y = 3/4x - 7/4

Now, comparing with the slope-intercept form of the line equation

y = 3/4x - 7/4

The slope of the line m = 3/4

We know that parallel lines have the same slopes.

Therefore, the slope of the parallel line is: 3/4

now we have,

The point (-4, -2)

The slope m of parallel line = 3/4

Given the point-slope form of the line equation

$y-y_1=m\left(x-x_1\right)$

where m is the slope of the line and (x₁, y₁) is the point

substituting (-4, -2) and m = 3/4 in the point-slope form of line equation

$\:y-\left(-2\right)=\frac{3}{4}\left(x-\left(-4\right)\right)$

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Thus, the equation in the point-slope form of the line equation is:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Simplifying the equation

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

Subtract 3 from both sides

$y+2-2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)-2$

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Multiplying the equation by 4

$4y = 3x + 4$

$3x - 4y = -4$

Therefore, the equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x - 4y = 7 and pass through the point (-4,-2) are:

$y+2=\frac{3}{4}\left(x+4\right)$

$3x - 4y = -4$

A veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a veterinary researcher takes a random sample of 60 horses presenting with colic. The average age of the random sample of horses with colic is 12 years. The average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic was determined to be 10 years. The researcher also determined that the standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic is 8 years.

So, firstly according to Central limit theorem the z score probability distribution for sample means is given by;

Z = $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\bar X$ = average age of the random sample of horses with colic = 12 yrs

$\mu$ = average age of all horses seen at the veterinary clinic = 10 yrs

$\sigma$ = standard deviation of all horses coming to the veterinary clinic = 8 yrs

n = sample of horses = 60

So, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is given by = P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12)

P( $\bar X$ $\geq$ 12) = P( $\frac{\bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } }$ $\geq$ $\frac{12-10}{\frac{8}{\sqrt{60} } }$ ) = P(Z $\geq$ 1.94) = 1 - P(Z < 1.94)

= 1 - 0.97381 = 0.0262

Therefore, probability that a sample mean is 12 or larger for a sample from the horse population is 0.0262.
