The slope of the line below is -8/7 write a point slope equation of the line using coordinates of the labeled point

Write the equation of a line that passes through the point (1,4) and has a slope of 9.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

y=9x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (1,4) and has a slope of 9.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was 9. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=9x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(1,4). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 4.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: b is what we want, the 9 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specifically passes through the point (1,4).

So, why not plug in for x the number 1 and y the number 4? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(1,4). y=mx+b or 4=9 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=4-(9)(1). b=-5.The equation of the line that passes through the point (1,4) with a slope of 9

is

y=9x-5

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting. It is

yan [13]

Answer:

No, there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled

Step-by-step explanation:

A manufacturer of potato chips would like to know whether its bag filling machine works correctly at the 434 gram setting.

This means that the null hypothesis is:

$H_{0}: \mu = 434$

It is believed that the machine is underfilling the bags.

This means that the alternate hypothesis is:

$H_{a}: \mu < 434$

The test statistic is:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

In which X is the sample mean, $\mu$ is the value tested at the null hypothesis, $\sigma$ is the standard deviation and n is the size of the sample.

434 is tested at the null hypothesis:

This means that $\mu = 434$

A 9 bag sample had a mean of 431 grams with a variance of 144.

This means that $X = 431, n = 9, \sigma = \sqrt{144} = 12$

Value of the test-statistic:

$z = \frac{X - \mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}$

$z = \frac{431 - 434}{\frac{12}{\sqrt{9}}}$

$z = -0.75$

P-value of the test:

The pvalue of the test is the pvalue of z = -0.75, which is 0.2266

0.2266 > 0.01, which means that there is not sufficient evidence to support the claim that the bags are underfilled.

Use the graph below to answer the question that follows:

seraphim [82]

Let's start with our parent function:

f(x) = sin x

One cycle on this graph occurs between 0 and 2π. Therefore, our b-value is one.

There is no vertical shift up. The sinusoidal axis is along y = 0.

The wave is not inverted, it starts at the origin and rises on both the y and x axis. Thus there is no negative value before the function.

The amplitude of the wave is 3. A normal sine wave rises to a maximum of 1, but this is multiplied by 3.

f(x) = 3 sin x

There are an infinite amount of equations that could be used to represent this graph, but this is perhaps the most intuitive.

Solve the following equation, answer as a reduced, mixed number. Then place the correct number in the box provided.

qaws [65]

7(x-2) + 3(x + 2) = 5(x-6)...distribute thru the parenthesis
7x - 14 + 3x + 6 = 5x - 30...combine like terms
10x - 8 = 5x - 30...subtract 5x from both sides
10x - 5x - 8 = -30....add 8 to both sides
10x - 5x = -30 + 8...combine like terms
5x = - 22
x = -22/5 = - 4 2/5 <==

2(5 - 8x) -13 = 9(1 - x) -12

Ugo [173]

2 (5 - 8x) - 13 = 9 (1 - x) - 12

10 - 16x - 13 = 9 - 9x - 12

10 - 13 - 16x = 9 - 12 - 9x

- 3 - 16x = - 3 - 9x

- 3 + 3 = - 9x + 16x

0 = 7x

0/7 = x

0 = x
