Answer:

L2: y-0 = 5/2(x-5)

y = 5/2x-25/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have same slopes.

Line 1, L1: 5x-2y=20 is in standard form Ax+By=C therefore slope m1= -A/B = -5/-2 = 5/2 or you can solve it for y so you will have the equation in slope-intercept form.

5x-2y = 20

-2y = -5x+20

y = (-5/-2)x+20/(-2)

y = (5/2)x-10 hence m1=5/2 and y-intercept is -10

Line 2 , L2: y-y1 = m (x-x1), m=m2=m1=5/2

Point p(5,0) or p(x1,y1) therefore x1=5 , y1=0 and m=5/2

L2: y-0 = 5/2(x-5)

y = 5/2x-25/2

Answer:

-1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

By using this equation: $\frac{10}{-2} \frac{-11}{+5}$ , we can find the slope of the line. We get -1/3.

Ariana is shipping 8 bags of granola to a customer. Each bag weighs 22 ounces and the maximum weight she can ship in one box is

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Ariana cannot ship all the bags in one box.

Ariana will be sending 8 bags which will weigh a total of:

= 22 ounces x 8

= 176 ounces

You need to convert this to pounds to see if it will fit in the box:

<em>1 pound = 16 ounces </em>

176 ounces in pounds is therefore:

= 176 / 16

= 11 pounds

The box can only take 10 pounds and 5 ounces which is less than the 11 pounds the bags weigh.

Ariana cannot ship all the bags in one box.

Answer:

Randomized block design

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we can see the following:

- There are 30 plants of each variety. This means that they are divided into variety subgroups which we will call blocks.

- Now, we are told each plant in each block all are potted in the same amount and type of soil, given the same amount of water, and exposed to the same amount of light. This means that each plant in each block is assigned a treatment condition.

- The procedure is repeated by subjecting each plant one after the other in teach Block to different treatments and this will reduce variability.

Looking at all the statements above, it is clear that this is a randomized block design because a randomized block design is when the experimenter/researcher divides members/participants into subgroups called blocks in a manner that the variability within the blocks is less than the variability between the blocks. Thereafter, the participants within each block will now be randomly assigned to treatment conditions.

Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line. State

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The slope should be -2

You should go down 2 and go over 1.

Slope Intercept Form: y= -2x+3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to identify the slope: (meaning whether it is a postive or negative.)

In this case, You have a negative slope.

This means instead of rising you're decreasing down.

When you "run" or move horizontally you MUST move right even if it's a negative slope.

Now, you need to identify your Y-Intercept.

Your Y-Intercept should be (0,3)

Next, you have to find your slope:

In order to find your slope, you need to find where the line is crossing the coordinate.

Start at (-1,5) and go down and over to (0,3)

Your answer should be that you went down 2 and over 1.

The slope can't be 2 because if it were to be 2, then that would be a positive slope which isn't our occasion.

The slope is -2.

In Slope Intercept Form: y= -2x+3
