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

First, find slope using the given coordinates. Formula for slope: y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂.

Our coordinates are (-2, 5) and (2, -7). Plug them in and simplify.

5 - (-7) / -2 - 2

5 + 7 / -4

12/-4

-3

The slope is -3. The equation becomes y = -3x + b.

To find b, plug an (x, y) coordinate on the line in for x and y in the equation and solve. I'll use (-2, 5)

y = -3x + b

5 = -3(-2) + b

5 = 6 + b

-1 = b

The y-intercept is (0, -1). The equation can now be completed!

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -3x - 1

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards, the head circumference for boys at birth is normally di

Elena L [17]

Answer:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the random variable X as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for X is given by:

$X\sim N(\mu = 34.5, \sigma=1.3)$

Similarly we can define the random variable Y as the head circumference for boys at birth and we know that the distribution for Y is given by:

$Y\sim N(\mu = 33.9, \sigma=1.2)$

And we know that Eddie was born with 33.2 cm and Sue with 32.7 cm for the head circumference . Since we are interested to determine which child's head circumference is smaller relative to other children of the same sex, we can use the z score formula given by this formula:

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

This z score tell to us how many deviations we are below or above the mean for a given normal distribution.

For the case of Eddie we got:

$z= \frac{33.2-34.5}{1.3}= -1$

And for the case of Sue we got:

$z = \frac{32.7-33.9}{1.2}= -1$

So then for both cases we see that Eddie and Sue are 1 deviation below the true mean for each gender so then the best conclusion for this case would be:

C.They are the same size relative to other children of the same sex.

Which of the following is a zero-dimensional geometric object?. A.A plane. B.A point. C.A ray. D.A line.

lana66690 [7]

A point is actually a zero dimensional geometric object. The reason behind selecting this answer is that a point does not have a length, width or height. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B". I hope the answer comes to your help. <span />
