Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Given that,}~ (x_1,y_1) = (-2,4)~ \text{and}~ \text{slope,}~ m = -\dfrac 32\\ \\\text{Equation of line,}~\\\\~~~~~~~y -y_1 = m(x-x_1)\\\\\implies y -4 =-\dfrac 32(x+2)\\\\\implies y-4 =-\dfrac 32x - 3\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac 32x -3 +4\\\\\implies y = -\dfrac 32x +1[/tex]

Answer 2

The current equation of the perpendicular line;

 ⇒ is the slope-intercept form: [tex]y= mx + b[/tex]

m: is the coefficient in front of the x, which is also the slope's valueb: y-intercept of the function

Now for the point-slope form, we need a point on the line and the slope of the line:

⇒ we have

slope = -3/2point: (-2,4)

Since this is the point-slope form: [tex](y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

 ⇒ where the (x₁,y₁) is the point on the line and m is the slope

    [tex]= > Equation: (y-4)=-\frac{3}{2}(x+2)[/tex]

To convert the equation to slope-intercept form:

  ⇒ must isolate 'y' to one side and everything to the other side

      [tex]y= -\frac{3}{2}(x+2)+4\\ y=-\frac{3}{2} x-3+4\\y=-\frac{3}{2}x+1[/tex]

Answer: [tex]y = -\frac{3}{2}x+1[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

  TRUE: A, B, C

  False: D

Step-by-step explanation:

A full circle of 360° has a radian measure of 2π radians. The relationship is proportional, so π radians is 180°.

__

A. An angle that measures π/4 radians also measures 45°. TRUE

  45° × π/180° radians = π/4 radians

B. An angle that measures 180° also measures π radians. TRUE

  180° × π/180° radians = π radians

C. An angle that measures 60° also measures π/3 radians. TRUE

  60° × π/180° radians = π/3 radians

D. An angle that measures π/3 radians also measures 30°.​ FALSE

  30° × π/180° radians = π/6 radians

Use the function to predict the minimum target heart rate for a person 20 years old. beats per minute

Answers

The minimum target heart rate for a person 20 years old is 120 beats per minute

How to predict the minimum target heart rate?

The equation of the function is given as:

y = -0.6x + 132

Where x represents the age, and y represents the minimum target heart rate

From the question, we have:

x = 20

Substitute x = 20 in y = -0.6x + 132

This gives

y = -0.6 *20 + 132

Step-by-step explanation:

the median is the value, where half of the other values is smaller (or equal), and the other half bigger (or equal).

with an even number of data points that is not directly possible to find.

in this case the 2 middle values are taken and their mean value is the median.

in our case, the 2 middle values are 12 and 14.

their mean value is

Answers

The histogram includes data from a voluntary response sample which is not representative of the population.

How to interpret Histograms?

A histogram is a chart that represents numerical data using bars. The dataset is split into intervals, each interval is represented by a bar, and the number of variables in each interval makes up the frequency for that interval.

From the histogram attached, we can see that there is a huge gap from around 17000 miles to 32500 miles.

Now, when we have this kind of gap it means that the histogram includes data from a voluntary response sample which is not representative of the population.

How many of the boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less?
138 boxes
154 boxes
632 boxes
781 boxes

Answers

The number of boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be 138. Then the correct option is A.

What is a normal distribution?

The z-score is a statistical evaluation of a value's correlation to the mean of a collection of values, expressed in terms of standard deviation.

The z-score is given as

z = (x - μ) / σ

Where μ is the mean, σ is the standard deviation, and x is the sample.

The weights of boxes of rice produced at a factory are normally distributed with a mean of 20 ounces and a standard deviation of 1.5 ounces.

Consider a shipment of 1500 boxes of rice.

Then the number of the boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be

z = (18 - 20) / 1.5

z = -1.33

Then the probability will be

P(x ≤ 18) = P(z ≤ -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 1 - P(z > -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 1 - [1 - P(z < -1.33)]

P(x ≤ 18) = P(z < -1.33)

P(x ≤ 18) = 0.091211

Then the number of the boxes will weigh 18 ounces or less will be

⇒ 0.091211 x 1500

⇒ 136.8

approximately 138 boxes.

Then the correct option is A.

Ahmed and Babar share 240g of sweets in the ration 7:3. Calculate the amount Ahmed receives

Answers

The amount received by Ahmed is 168 gm.

What is Ratio?

The ratio is defined as the comparison of two quantities of the same units that indicates how much of one quantity is present in the other quantity. Ratios can be classified into two types. One is part to part ratio and the other is part to whole ratio.

Here, let the amount received by Ahmed be 7x

          and amount received by Babar be 3x

       Total amount of sweets = 240 gm

Now, according to question,

           7x + 3x = 240

              10x = 240

               x = 240/10
