$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

Further explanation:

We have to find the equation of the line first to graph the line.

The general form of slope-intercept form of equation of line is:

$y=mx+b$

Given

$m=-\frac{2}{5}$

Putting the value of slope in the equation

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+b$

To find the value of b, putting the point (-3,5) in equation

$5=-\frac{2}{5}(-3)+b\\5=\frac{6}{5}+b\\5-\frac{6}{5}+b\\b=\frac{25-6}{5}\\b=\frac{19}{5}$

Putting the values of b and m

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{19}{5}$

The graph is made by using online graphing tool Desmos.

A cube with side length 4p is stacked on another cube with side length 2q^2. What is the total volume of the cubes in factored f

AnnZ [28]

Volume of cube=side³
ok, so you need to know the difference or sum of cubes
a³+b³=(a+b)(x²-xy+y²)
so

(4p)³+(2q²)³=
(4p+2q²)((4p)²-(4p)(2q²)+(2q²)²)=
(4p+2q²)(16p²-8pq²+4q⁴)

HELP MEEEEEEEEEE Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes and costs $9.60. Package B contains 8 birthday cards

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Each birthday card costs $2.2 ⇒ answer c

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Package A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

- It costs $9.60

- Package B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

- It costs $26.60

- x represents the cost of birthday card and y represents the cost of

thank-you note

* Lets change these information to two equations

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∵ y represents the cost of each thank-you notes

∵ Bag A contains 3 birthday cards and 2 thank-you notes

∵ Bag A costs $9.60

∴ 3x + 2y = 9.60 ⇒ (1)

∵ Bag B contains 8 birthday cards and 6 thank-you notes

∵ Bag B costs $26.60

∴ 8x + 6y = 26.60 ⇒ (2)

* Lets solve this system of equations to find x and y

- Multiply equation (1) by -3 to eliminate y

∵ -3(3x) + -3(2y) = -3(9.60)

∴ -9x - 6y = -28.8 ⇒ (3)

- Add equations (2) and (3)

∴ -x = -2.2

- Multiply both sides by -1

∴ x = 2.2

∵ x represents the cost of each birthday cards

∴ The cost of each birthday card is $2.2

* Each birthday card costs $2.2

The heights of 1000 students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 174.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of

yuradex [85]

A. The mean and standard deviation.

The mean of a sampling distribution is approximately equal to the mean of the population. Given that the mean of the population is equal to 174.5, the mean of the sampling distribution is also this value.

The standard deviation of a sample distribution is equal to,

u(m) = u/sqrt n

Substituting the known values,

u(m) = 6.9 / sqrt 25 = 1.38

b. Get the z-score of both items,

z-score = (data point - mean) / standard deviation

z-score of 172.5
z-score = (172.5 - 174.5) / 1.38 = -1.49
This translates to 0.068.

z-score of 175.8
z-score = (175.8 - 174.5) / 1.38 = 0.94
This translates to 0.83.

The difference between the two z-scores is 0.762.

The number of samples with this height is 0.762(200) which is equal to approximately 152.

c. z-score of 172 centimeters

z-score = (172 - 174.5) / 1.38

z-score = -1.81
This translates to 0.03.

The number of people with this height from the sample is (0.03)(200) = 6

The graph shows the relationship between the number of strawberries eaten and the approximate number of calories consumed. Which

Mandarinka [93]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

Each strawberry contains 4 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph crosses the vertical line for 1 strawberry above the intersection with the horizontal line for 3, so there are more than 3 calories in 1 strawberry. The graph crosses "strawberries = 1" at about "calories = 4", matching the first statement.

Similarly, the graph crosses the vertical line for 4 strawberries above the horizontal line for 15 calories. An estimate of 16 calories for 4 strawberries is consistent with the first statement (4 calories in each strawberry).

The point (6, 24) is on the graph, but it means (6 strawberries, 24 calories), not the other way around.

The appropriate choice is ...

Each strawberry contains 4 calories
