A sales manager analyzed the sales, in dollars, y, of snow shovels compared to the outside temperature, in Fahrenheit, x. The manager calculated the correlation coefficient of r=−0.82. Which conclusion is most appropriate based on the correlation coefficient of the data?

There is a strong negative relationship, therefore as x increases, y increases.

There is a strong negative relationship, therefore as x increases, y decreases.

There is a weak negative relationship, therefore as x increases, y increases.

There is a weak negative relationship, therefore as x increases, y decreases.

none of the option is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

it says to find which expression equals 9^3 sqrt 10 = ?

9^3 sqrt 10 = 729 sqrt 10.

checking option a. 5 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

5 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 9 sqrt 10.

checking option b. 5^3 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

5^3 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

= 125 sqrt 10 + 64 sqrt 10

= 189 sqrt 10.

checking option c. 5 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

5 sqrt 10 + 4^3 sqrt 10

= 5 sqrt 10 + 64 sqrt 10

= 69 sqrt 10.

checking option d. 5^3 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

5^3 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 125 sqrt 10 + 4 sqrt 10

= 129 sqrt 10.

hence, none of the option is correct.

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form

josh is incorrect

x= 7 and x= -1

step 2 is wrong and honestly first step is not needed, you just need to figure out the factors

i know its wrong because if you plug in the solutions josh found, they do not work (in the original equation)

x^2 -6x -7 = 0

(x-7) (x+1) = 0

x-7=0 x+1=0

x= 7 x= -1
