Lindsay used two points, (x,y; ) and (+2.82), to find the equation of the line, y = mx + b, that passes through the points. y2-y, first, she used the definition of slope and determined that the value of mis x, - . given this information, which expression must represent the value of b?

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation x2 – 25 = 0? o x = 5 and x = -5ox=25 and x = -25o x = 125 and x = -125o no real solution

(b) suppose that consolidated power decides to use a level of significance of α = .05, and suppose a random sample of 100 temperature readings is obtained. if the sample mean of the 100 temperature readings is x⎯⎯ = 60.990, test h0 versus ha and determine whether the power plant should be shut down and the cooling system repaired. perform the hypothesis test by using a critical value and a p-value. assume σ = 5. (round your z to 2 decimal places and p-value to 4 decimal places.)
