Math question! I don't understand! can I have an explanation?

How do you do this simultaneous equation?

tatiyna

The y is the same for both equations. Equate them
-x - 5 = 2x + 4 Add x to both sides
- 5 = 3x + 4 Subtract 4 from both sides.
- 9 = 3x Divide by 3
x = -9 / 3
x = - 3

y = - x - 5
y = -(-3) - 5
y = - 2

So that point is where the two equations meet.

To see the graph of your question on the internet, go to
Wolframalpha.com
and put this string in the question space.
y = -x - 5; y = 2x + 4 Note the semi colon in the middle.

To the moderator: This is my own work. I'm using Wolfram to get the answer.

The endpoints of RS are R: (9,-4) and S: (2, -8).

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

B, (11/2,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

to get the midpoint of two endpoints, simply take the average of each corresponding coordinate

midpoint: ((Rx+Sx)/2,(Ry+Sy/2)).

((9+2/2),(-4+-8/2)) = (11/2,-12/2) = (11/2,-6)

the midpoint formula in general is : ((x+x1)/2),(y+y1)/2))

where x1 is the initial or first x coordinate, y1 is the initial or first y coordinate, x is the second, last, or final x coordinate. and y is the second, last, or final y coordinate.

Masja [62]

Answer:

1. Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2=0$ or $p_1=p_2$

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1-p_2\neq 0$ or $p_1\neq p_2$

2. Test statistics = 4.63

P-value = 0.00001

3. We conclude that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the Nellie Mae organization conducts an extensive annual study of credit card usage by college students.

For their 2004 study, they analyzed credit bureau data for a random sample of 1,413 undergraduate students between the ages of 18 and 24. They found that 76% of the students sampled held a credit card. Three years earlier they had found that 83% of undergraduates sampled held a credit card.

Let $p_1$ = population proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in year 2001

$p_2$ = population proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in year 2004

1. Null Hypothesis, $H_0$ : $p_1-p_2=0$ or $p_1=p_2$ {means that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card does not differed between these two years}

Alternate Hypothesis, $H_A$ : $p_1-p_2\neq 0$ or $p_1\neq p_2$ {means that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years}

The test statistics that will be used here is Two-sample z proportion statistics;

T.S. = $\frac{(\hat p_1-\hat p_2)-(p_1-p_2)}{\sqrt{\frac{\hat p_1(1-\hat p_1)}{n_1} +\frac{\hat p_2(1-\hat p_2)}{n_2}} }$ ~ N(0,1)

where, $\hat p_1$ = sample proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in 2001 = 83%

$\hat p_2$ = sample proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card in 2004 = 76%

$n_1$ = sample of students surveyed in 2001 = 1,413

$n_2$ = sample of students surveyed in 2004 = 1,413

So, test statistics = $\frac{(0.83-0.76)-(0)}{\sqrt{\frac{0.83(1-0.83)}{1,413} +\frac{0.76(1-0.76)}{1,413}} }$

= 4.63

2. Hence, the value of test statistics is 4.63.

Also, P-value is given by the following formula;

P-value = P(Z > 4.63) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 4.63)

= 1 - 0.99999 = 0.00001

3. Since in the question we are not given the level of significance so we assume it to be 5%. Now at 5% significance level, the z table gives critical values between -1.96 and 1.96 for two-tailed test. Since our test statistics is does not lie within the range of critical values of z, so we have sufficient evidence to reject our null hypothesis as it will fall in the rejection region.

Therefore, we conclude that the proportion of undergraduate students who held a credit card differed between these two years.
