Answer:
f(x) = -1/2x +1
Step-by-step explanation:
The line crosses the y-axis at y=1, so the y-intercept is b=1.
The line drops 1 unit for a run of 2 to the right, so the slope is ...
m = rise/run = -1/2
The slope-intercept form of the equation of the line is ...
y = mx + b
y = -1/2x + 1
In functional form, the equation is ...
f(x) = -1/2x +1
Answer:
The median of a data set is better when you have a term or terms that are not close to the other terms
Step-by-step explanation:
For example:
Say you have the data set
1, 15, 17, 18, 22, 84
The median of these terms would be 17.5
(it is the exact center of the data group)
17 + 18 = 35
35/2 = 17.5
The mean of these terms would be 26.17
(this number is not close to the center because the numbers 1 and 84
are not close enough to the other terms)
1 + 15 + 17 + 18 + 22 + 84 = 157
157/6 = 26.17

[Right Triangles Only] Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
- a is a leg
- b is another leg
- c is the hypotenuse<u>
</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
<em>Identify variables</em>
Leg <em>a</em> = <em>a</em>
Leg <em>b</em> = 12
Hypotenuse <em>c</em> = 20
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>a</u></em>
- Substitute in variables [Pythagorean Theorem]: a² + 12² = 20²
- Evaluate exponents: a² + 144 = 400
- [Subtraction Property of Equality] Isolate <em>a</em> term: a² = 256
- [Equality Property] Square root both sides: a = 16
Answer:
1.7
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 (2 x anything) = anything
1/2 cancels out the 2
<h3>
Answer: 5/12 (choice C)</h3>
Explanation:
Recall that tangent = opposite/adjacent.
For reference angle M, the side ON = 5 is the opposite side and MN = 12 is the adjacent side. We don't need the hypotenuse.
