X and y vary inversely means y is inversely proportional to x, this means:

y=k/x, where k is a constant.

We are given that when x=-4, y=7/2, we replace these values to find k.

7/2=k/-4
k= (-4*7)/2=-14

So we have y=-14/x

Therefore, when x=4, y=-14/4= -7/2

Half a number increased by 15 is equal to the sum of 5 and the product of 3 and the number.

son4ous [18]

Answer:

(x/2) + 15 = 5 + 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Follow the steps in the equation. X is your number. First you halve it, then you add 15. Next, set it equal to the other side. The second side is 5 + (because it is the sum) and 3x (the product of 3 and x means multiply them)

Consider the line y = 2x–4.

choli [55]

Parallel slope = 2

This is because the original line has slope 2. Parallel lines have equal slopes.

--------------------------

Perpendicular slope = -1/2

The original slope 2 or 2/1 turns into -1/2 after flipping the fraction and the sign. Note the original slope and perpendicular slope multiply to -1. This is true for any pair of perpendicular lines where neither line is vertical.

A set of city temperatures in April are normally distributed with a mean of 19.7 degrees Celsius and a standard deviation of 2 d

Sati [7]

Answer:

19.77% of average city temperatures are higher than that of Cairo

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

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.

In this question, we have that:

$\mu = 19.7, \sigma = 2$
