y  intercept = 1/2

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Formula y=mx+b in Slope Intercept form( whereas m= slope of the given equation, b= y intercept)

Step 2:

Comparing the given equation y = -3x + 1/2

we get  m=-3(Slope) and y-intercept b=1/2

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total for football: 9 +7

Total for figure skating: 12 +7

NEW Total for football: 16

NEW Total for figure skating: 19

The question says that 9 people like football

The question says that 12 people like to watch figure skating

The question also says that 7 people like to watch both, and because of that, you should add 7 to both 9 and 12, but keep the new numbers separated from each other. So once we know the sum of 9 +7 is 16, and 12 + 7 is 19, we can subtract the two numbers, and get 3 as the answer. Because you are counting the number of times that you have to travel up or down to the other number, and so if you are on a set of stairs that go up to the 16 level and you are on the 14th level, you need to travel up 2 sets of stairs to get to level 16.

Hope that example helps and can help in the future with other problems!

Part 1
lozanna [386]

Answer:

You will likely need to actually measure a few people for parts 1 and 2, but  the statement in part 2 should be something like "The length of the forearm of one person will be very similar to the length of their foot" or "As the length of the forearm increases, the length of the foot will increase in similar amounts".

Since the equation in pt.3 is y = 0.860x + 3.302, if x=17, then 0.860(17) + 3.302=17.922

The next question is dependant on pt.1

The data from pt.1 should be somewhat similar to the data you collected, the values between them are different because of the allowed error margin between the two.

The data can be made into a function using the "line of best fit". The equation in part A represents a function because there are no two points where two y coordinates are on the exact same x coordinate.
