Since they are starting with 270, the y intercept is going to be 270, now since they are losing 15 food everyday, the slope is going to be -15 so the final equation is y=-15x+270
Answer: 11
you want to add 17 to -6 and then x will = 11
Hope that had helped
Hey there!!
What is slope-intercept form :
... y = mx + b
( a ) Given :
... ( 2 , -2 ) and slope=1.4
... y = mx + b
... -2 = 2×1.4 + b
... -2 = 2.8 + b
... -4.8 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = 1.4x - 4.8
( b ) Given :
... ( -1 , 4 ) and slope = -3.
y = mx + b
... 4 = -3×-1 + b
... 4 = 3 + b
... 1 = b
The slope-intercept form :
... y = -3x + 1
Note :
( m = slope and b = y-intercept )
Hope my answer helps!!
Answer:
The proportion of children in this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs is of 0.9306.
Step-by-step explanation:
When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.
In a set with mean
and standard deviation
, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
A study suggested that children between the ages of 6 and 11 in the US have an average weightof 74 lbs, with a standard deviation of 2.7 lbs.
This means that 
What proportion of childrenin this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs.
This is the pvalue of Z when X = 85 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 70. So
X = 85



has a pvalue of 1
X = 70



has a pvalue of 0.0694
1 - 0.0694 = 0.9306
The proportion of children in this age range between 70 lbs and 85 lbs is of 0.9306.
