The amount contributed by Willie and Bruno is $31000 and $19,000 respectively.

Let amount contributed by Willie be x

Let amount contributed by Bruno be y

Since Willie agreed to contribute $12,000 more than Bruno;

Therefore;

  • x - y = 12000....…....... equation (1)

  • x + y = 50,000...…....... equation (2)

By solving the system of equations simultaneously;

  • 2x = 62000

  • x = 31000

  • and y = 50,000 - 31000

  • y = 19,000

In essence; The amount contributed by Willie and Bruno is $31000 and $19,000 respectively.

Write the equation of the line with x-intercept -2 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form
eduard

The x-intercept of -2 gives us an idea that point (-2,0) if found along the line. The y-intercept of -1, tells us that point (0,-1), this also tells us that b = -1.

Now that we have two points, we can solve for slope m

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{Given two points} \\ (-2,0)\rightarrow(x_1,y_1) \\ (0,-1)\rightarrow(x_2,y_2) \\  \\ \text{Substitute} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{-1-0}{0-(-2)} \\ m=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have both m and b. Substitute these values to the slope intercept form

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope intercept form is} \\ y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \\  \\ \text{Substitute the values from before and we get} \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1 \end{gathered}

A school principal wants to determine which type of speaker the students prefer to invite to an assembly for the entire student
Lady_Fox [76]
When it comes to sampling methods, random sampling is one of the most effective. The principal wants the results of his or her sample to be as fair as possible, so it is best to choose students randomly, and in a neutral environment. The mall is not a neutral environment because not all students have access to the mall, and even those who do are not guaranteed to provide accurate results. The same goes for a basketball game, and student council. Samples taken from these environments are likely to produce more bias. However, collecting a survey from every tenth student entering the school one morning is more likely to produce accurate results that are representative of the school population.
