1. Lin is running in an election to be president of the seventh grade. She wants to predict her chances of winning. She has the following ideas for surveying a sample of the students who will be voting: 1.Ask everyone on her basketball team who they are voting for.
2.Ask every third girl waiting in the lunch line who they are voting for.
3.Ask the first 15 students to arrive at school one morning who they are voting for.

•Would the different methods for selecting a sample lead to different conclusions about the population?
•What are the benefits of each method?
•What might each method overlook?
•Which of the methods listed would be the most likely to produce samples that are representative of the population being studied?
•Can you think of a better way to select a sample for this situation?

Based on the graph, what is the initial value of the linear relationship? a coordinate plane is shown. a line passes through the y-axis at -2 and the x-axis at 3.

(i really need ) read the story problem, and then answer the questions that follow. gordon works for a graphic design firm and is creating a label for a food truck vendor. the vendor specializes in finger food and wants to sell food in right conical containers so that they are easy for people to hold. to complete his label, gordon needs to collect several different measurements to ensure that the label he designs will fit the surface of the container. gordon has been told that the containers have a diameter of 4 inches and a height of 6 inches. part a: find the slant height of the cone. the slant height is the distance from the apex, or tip, to the base along the cone’s lateral surface. show your work. part b: find the measure of the angle formed between the base of the cone and a line segment that represents the slant height. part c: imagine two line segments where each represents a slant height of the cone. the segments are on opposite sides of the cone and meet at the apex. find the measurement of the angle formed between the line segments.

Which equation could represent the relationship shown in the scatter plot? y=−3x−2 y=−3/4x+10 y=−2/3x+1 y=9x−12 scatter plot with x axis labeled variable x and y axis labeled variable y. points go from upper left to lower right.
