Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

The points given are (8,5) and (-12,-9). Calculating slope: slope = (-9 minus 5) divided by (-12 minus 8) equals -14 over -20, simplifying to 7 over 10. The line equation format is y = mx + b, with slope m = 7/10. Using point (8,5), substitute x = 8 and y = 5 to solve for b: 5 = 7/10 times 8 plus b; 5 = 56/10 plus b; subtracting 56/10 from both sides gives 5 minus 56/10 equals b; converting 5 to 50/10 minus 56/10 equals b; so b equals -3/5. Thus, the equation is y = (7/10)x - 3/5. Converting to standard form: multiply both sides by 10 gives 10y = 7x - 6; subtract 7x to get -7x + 10y = -6; multiply both sides by -1 results in 7x - 10y = 6. Therefore, the equation 7x - 10y = 3 is incorrect because the points do not satisfy it.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Given points (8,5) and (-12,-9), calculate slope as (-9 - 5) divided by (-12 - 8), which is -14/-20, simplifying to 7/10. The line equation y = mx + b uses slope m = 7/10. Utilizing point (8,5), set x = 8 and y = 5 and solve for b: 5 = (7/10)*8 + b; thus 5 = 56/10 + b; subtracting 56/10 from both sides gives 5 - 56/10 = b; converting 5 into 50/10 yields 50/10 - 56/10 = b; so b = -3/5. The resulting equation is y = (7/10)x - 3/5. To write in standard form, multiply both sides by 10: 10y = 7x - 6; then subtract 7x: -7x + 10y = -6; multiplying both sides by -1 yields 7x - 10y = 6. Hence, the equation 7x - 10y = 3 is not a good fit because these points do not satisfy it.

Leona [12618]
To find the number of tails, subtract 225 from 500, yielding 275. So, we establish a ratio of 225 to 500, which needs to be simplified. Dividing both by 25 gives us 9 and 20 respectively. Therefore, the simplified ratio is 9:20.

lawyer [12517]

Answer:

The p-value for this test is 0.031. It should be interpreted as "There is a 96.9% likelihood that the actual average of soup sales at the new site exceeds 75 bowls it daily"

Step-by-step explanation:

The p-value"In hypothesis testing, the p-value, or probability value, represents the likelihood of obtaining test outcomes at least as extreme as the observed results, given that the null hypothesis holds true"

Emma earns $6 each time she mows the lawn and $8 per hour for babysitting. She is saving up to buy a new pair of jeans that cost
zzz [12365]

Answer:

The illustration provided shows the graph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ------> number of times Emma cuts the grass

y ------> hours Emma spends babysitting

it is known that

6x+8y\geq 48 ------> represents the inequality of the scenario

The solution is the shaded region above the solid line where both x and y are positive

The equation for the solid line is represented as 6x+8y=48

The slope of the line is negative m=-\frac{3}{4}

The y-intercept is at the point (0,6) (the y-value when x is zero)

The x-intercept is at (8,0) (the x-value when y equals zero)

therefore

A small-appliance manufacturer finds that the profit P (in dollars) generated by producing x microwave ovens per week is given b
PIT_PIT [12445]

Answer:

The amount of ovens that must be produced in a week to earn a $1610 profit is 70.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A small-appliance manufacturer determines the profit P (in dollars) from producing x microwave ovens weekly by the formula:

P=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)

with 0 ≤ x ≤ 200.

The target profit is $1610

So, set P = 1610, then solve for x:

1610=\frac{1}{10}x(300-x)

Multiply both sides by 10:

1610\cdot \:10=\frac{1}{10}x\left(300-x\right)\cdot \:10

16100=x\left(300-x\right)

16100=300x-x^2

-x^2+300x-16100=0

Next, factor the quadratic:

(x-70)(x-230)=0

Solving for x gives:

x=70,x=230

Since x=230 is outside the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 200, we discard it.

Hence, the valid solution is x=70.

Therefore, to achieve a $1610 profit, the manufacturer must produce 70 ovens weekly.
