Answer:

y=12x - 192

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given the points (16,0) and (17, 12)

We want to write the equation of the line that contains these points in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is given as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

First, we need to find the slope

The slope (m) can be found using the formula \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}, where (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2) are points

We have 2 points, which is what we need to find the slope, but let's label their values to help avoid confusion and mistakes

x_1=16\\y_1=0\\x_2=17\\y_2=12

Now let's plug these values into the formula to find the slope

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

m=\frac{12-0}{17-16}

Subtract

m=\frac{12}{1}

Divide

m = 12

The slope of the line is 12.

Let's substitute that as m in y=mx+b.

Here is our equation so far:

y=12x + b

Now we need to find b

As the equation passes through the points (16,0) and (17, 12), we can use either one of them to solve for b.
Using (16,0) for example:

Substitute 16 as x and 0 as y.

0 = 12(16) + b

Multiply

0 = 192 + b

Subtract 192 from both sides

-192 = b

Substitute -192 as b in the equation

y = 12x - 192

Hope this helps!

A cone with volume 2880 m³ is dilated by a scale factor of 1/4. What is the volume of the resulting cone?
labwork [276]
The volume of the cone is 2880 m3.
The scale factor is 1/4.
The volume of the cone has the formula (1/3)π r² h.
A scale factor of 1/4 will reduce the dimensions by 1/4 which will result to a total volume reduction of (1/4)³ = 1/64
The new volume will be 45 m3

A 2012 Gallup poll surveyed Americans about their employment status and whether or not they have diabetes. The survey results in
posledela

A) See picture for the table.

To make the table, multiply 47774 by 1.5% to get total that have diabetes and multiply 5855 by 2.5% to get total unemployed that have it, then using subtraction fill in the other squares of the table.

B)

Hypothesis:

H0: No association between employment and diabetes.

H1: Association between the two

Using a graphing calculator or Excel, run a chi-test.

Chi squared equals 31.844 with 1 degrees of freedom.

 The two-tailed P value is less than 0.0001

With this information we can reject the null hypothesis and conclude there is an association between diabetes and employment.

C)

Although there is a statistical significance, there really is no practical significance between an incidence rate of 1.5 or 2.5%

Georgia kassem installs fencing. she is paid $7.50 per hour for an 8-hour day and time and a half for overtime for any work over
Dominik [7]

Georgia worked overtime on 4 of the 5 days. Her total overtime hours were

... (12-8) +(9 -8) +(10 -8) +(10 -8) = 4 +1 +2 +2 = 9

Then her pay for the week is

... (hours) × (pay per hour)

... = ((7 + 4×8) +1.5×9) × $7.50

... = 52.5 × $7.50

... = $393.75 . . . . Georgia's gross pay for the week

_____

Pay for "time and a half" can be computed by multiplying pay by 1.5 for overtime hours, or multiplying overtime hours by 1.5 and using straight pay. Either way, it is (overtime hours)×(1.5)×(straight pay).
