A line intersects the points (6, -12) and (15, -3). What is the slope intercept equation for this line?

Korolek [52]

Let's say that the unknown value here is c. Although we are given two points on the line, it is only necessary to use one as there is only one unknown value, so let's say we choose the point (6, -12) and substitute this into the equation:

-12 = 1(6) - c
-12 - 6 = -c
-18 = -c
c = 18

Thus the equation for the line is y = 1x - 18

The mean score of 8 players is 14.5. If the highest individual score is removed the mean of the score of the remaining 7 players

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The highest score is 32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

The mean score of 8 players is 14.5.

Let x denote the highest score.

If x is removed, the mean of the score of the remaining 7 players is 12.

Formula for mean:

$\bar{x} = \dfrac{\displaystyle\sum x_i}{n}$

Putting values, we get:

$14.5 = \dfrac{\displaystyle\sum x_i}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \displaystyle\sum x_i = 116\\\\12 = \dfrac{\displaystyle\sum y_i}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow \displaystyle\sum y_i = 84\\\\\displaystyle\sum y_i = \displaystyle\sum x_i -x \\\\84 = 116 - x\\\Rightarrow x = 32$
