A line has a slope of -1/2 and a y-intercept of -2.What is the x-intercept of the line? A.-4
B.-1
C.1
D.4

 A. -4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the y-intercept, normally you follow the slope -1/2 down 1 and 2 to the right. BUT since the y- intercept here is Negative 2, you have to do the opposite to get to the x-axis.

So starting at the y-intercept -2, go UP 1, Then LEFT 2, twice. The line will intercept the x-axis at -4.

see below

step-by-step explanation:

7.   there are 10 data points in the set.   the middle point is between 5 and 6.   the middle point in the top half is 8   and the middle point in the bottom half is 3. to find the iqr , take point 8 and subtract point 3

mid term   point 8 = 100   point 3 = 88

iqr = 100-88 = 12

final   point 8 = 93   point 3 = 78

iqr = 93 - 78 = 15

the final has the greatest iqr

6.   b - there is a high data value that causes the data set to be asymmetrical for the males: the data for males are high and asymmetrical .   there is an outlier for the males that skews the data

5.   the   iqr is a better measure of spread for the movies and basketball games.   since the basketball game has an outlier, we do not want to use standard deviation for measurement.  

3.   the exam median is much higher than the class median.   the median line is farther to the right on the exams

2.   there is no way to tell what the means are from the box and whisker plots.  

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0
