Answer:

The linear equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation has the general form

$y=mx+b$

where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

In the case of the first line $y=-5x+1$

$m=-5$

and $b=1$

for the second line $y=-5x+10$

$m=-5$

and $b=10$

Thus, the lines have the same slope but a different y-intercept.

This is why they are parallel, because they increase at the same rate always (hence the same slope) and the cross the y-axis at different point (hence the different y-intecept)

The linear equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts. This is the right answer because you can see the x coefficient for both equations is -5 but 1 and 10 are not the same and they are y-intercepts. These two are parallel so they will never meet.

A person starts walking from home and walks: 4 miles east 3 miles southeast 3 miles south 4 miles southwest 3 miles east find to

Fantom [35]

A geometry program can show you the total displacement is about 10.14 miles.

_____
You can use a vector calculator to find the solution, too. Using bearing angles, the sum is
4∠90° + 3∠135° + 3∠180° + 4∠225° + 3∠90° ≈ 10.1390∠141.6354°

_____
If you want to do it by hand, you can recognize the sum will be
7 miles east + 3 miles south + 3 miles southeast + 4 miles southwest

Distances that are not in the direction of one of the coordinate axes can be translated to rectangular coordinates by
displacement*(cos(angle), sin(angle))
Angles can be measured in the conventional way—from the positive x-axis. A direction of southeast will be +315° or -45°. A direction of southwest will be +225° or -135°.

Then the sum of the displacements in rectangular coordinates is ...
= (7, -3) + 3*(cos(-45°), sin(-45°)) + 4*(cos(-135°), sin(-135°))
= (7, -3) + ((√2)/2)*((3, -3) + (-4, -4))
= (7, -3) + 0.707107*(-1, -7)
= (6.2929, -7.9497)
Then the Pythagorean theorem is used to find the direct distance from home to this displaced location.
d = √(6.2929² +(-7.9497)²) ≈ √102.7990
d ≈ 10.1390 . . . . miles

Suppose that you had the following data set. 500 200 250 275 300 Suppose that the value 500 was a typo, and it was suppose to be

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

$\bar X_B = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 X_i}{5} =\frac{500+200+250+275+300}{5}=\frac{1525}{5}=305$

$s_B = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 (X_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{(500-305)^2 +(200-305)^2 +(250-305)^2 +(275-305)^2 +(300-305)^2)}{5-1}} = 115.108$

$\bar X_A = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 X_i}{5} =\frac{-500+200+250+275+300}{5}=\frac{525}{5}=105$

$s_A = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 (X_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{(-500-105)^2 +(200-105)^2 +(250-105)^2 +(275-105)^2 +(300-105)^2)}{5-1}} = 340.221$

The absolute difference is:

$Abs = |340.221-115.108|= 225.113$

If we find the % of change respect the before case we have this:

$\% Change = \frac{|340.221-115.108|}{115.108} *100 = 195.57\%$

So then is a big change.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subindex B is for the before case and the subindex A is for the after case

Before case (with 500)

For this case we have the following dataset:

500 200 250 275 300

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X_B = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 X_i}{5} =\frac{500+200+250+275+300}{5}=\frac{1525}{5}=305$

And the sample deviation with the following formula:

$s_B = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 (X_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{(500-305)^2 +(200-305)^2 +(250-305)^2 +(275-305)^2 +(300-305)^2)}{5-1}} = 115.108$

After case (With -500 instead of 500)

For this case we have the following dataset:

-500 200 250 275 300

We can calculate the mean with the following formula:

$\bar X_A = \frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 X_i}{5} =\frac{-500+200+250+275+300}{5}=\frac{525}{5}=105$

And the sample deviation with the following formula:

$s_A = \sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^5 (X_i-\bar X)^2}{n-1}}=\sqrt{\frac{(-500-105)^2 +(200-105)^2 +(250-105)^2 +(275-105)^2 +(300-105)^2)}{5-1}} = 340.221$

And as we can see we have a significant change between the two values for the two cases.

The absolute difference is:

$Abs = |340.221-115.108|= 225.113$

If we find the % of change respect the before case we have this:

$\% Change = \frac{|340.221-115.108|}{115.108} *100 = 195.57\%$

So then is a big change.
