The answer is:  [B]:  " x  + 3y + 10 = 0 " .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Note the equation for a line; in 'slope-intercept form':  "y = mx + b" ;
 
   in which "y" is isolated alone, as a single variable, on the left-hand side of the equation;
                "m" = the slope of the line; and is the co-efficient of "x" ;
                                  b = the "y-intercept"; (or the "y-coordinate of the point of                                                                          the "y-intercept"). 
______________________________________________________
So, given the information in this very question/problem:
______________________________________________________
slope = m = (-1/3) ; 
b = y-intercept = (10/3) ; 
______________________________________________________
And we can write the equation of the line; in "slope-intercept form"; that is:
______________________________________________________
  " y = mx + b " ;  as:
______________________________________________________

   " y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
______________________________________________________
Now, the problem asks for the equation of this line; in "general form";  or "standard format";  which is:
________________________________________
   "Ax + By + C = 0 " ; 
________________________________________
So; given: 
____________________________________
 " y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) " ;
____________________________________
  We can multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides) by "3" ; to get rid of the "fractions" ;

  →  3* { y = (-1/3)x + (10/3) } ;

  →  3y = -1x + 10 ; 

        ↔  -1x + 10 = 3y ; 

Subtract "(3y)" from each side of the equation:
____________________________________
            -1x + 10 − 3y = 3y − 3y ;

to get: 

-1x + 10 − 3y = 0 ; 

↔  -1x − 3y − 10 = 0 ;  

→ This is not one of the "3 (THREE) answer choices given" ;

→ So, multiply the ENTIRE EQUATION (both sides); by "-1" ; as follows:

     -1 * {-1x − 3y − 10 = 0} ; 

to get:
______________________________________________________
   →   " x + 3y + 10 = 0 " ;  which is:  "Answer choice:  [B] ."
______________________________________________________
Note that is equation is in the "standard format" ;
   →  " Ax + By + C = 0 " .

Men and women (ages 22–40) were surveyed to choose a favorite free-time activity: playing sports, dancing, or watching movies/TV
Gnesinka [82]

The correct two-way frequency table for the data is <u>Men </u><u>and </u><u>Women </u><u>Leisure Time Activity Preferences.</u>

<h3>What is a correct two-way frequency table?</h3>

A correct two-way frequency table displays frequencies for two categories (rows and columns) collected from categorical variables (men and women).

Men and Women Leisure Time Activity Preferences;

                Playing Sports     Dancing     Watching movies/TV   Row totals

Men                  11                         3                          6                          20

Women             5                       16                          9                          30

Column totals 16                       19                         15                          50

Hence, the correct two-way frequency table for the data is Men and Women Leisure Time Activity Preferences.

A bicycle was originally sold for $400 was on sale for $320. what percent was the bike marked down?
Eva8 [605]
100% of the price = $400
x % of the price = $320
we need to find x

using a proportion
100 : 400 = x : 320
100 * 320 = 400 * x
32000 = 400x
x = 32000 / 400
x = 80

That means the new price is 80% of the previous price.
100% - 80% = 20%
and based on this we can make a conclusion that the discount was 20%

I hope it is clear to you, feel free to ask anything about it :)
