Find the equation, in standard form, of the line passing through the points (3,-4) and (5,1)

1 answer:

4 0

(3,-4)(5,1)
slope = (1 - (-4) / (5 - 3) = (1 + 4) / 2 = 5/2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 5/2
use either of ur points (5,1)...x = 5 and y = 1
now we sub and find b, the y int
1 = 5/2(5) + b
1 = 25/2 + b
1 - 25/2 = b
2/2 - 25/2 = b
-23/2 = b

so ur equation is y = 5/2x - 23/2...but we need it in standard form

y = 5/2x - 23/2...subtract 5/2x from both sides
-5/2x + y = -23/2....multiply everything by -2
5x - 2y = 23 <== standard form

We can represent the cost of the notebooks with by saying 0.75n, and the cost of the pens by saying 0.55p.

0.75n+0.55p will be the total cost before tax. Now, we need to add on tax. Tax will be 0.0625 times the total amount, so we can represent the cost by saying

(0.75n+0.55p) + 0.0625(0.75n+0.55p), so the answer is B.

To help consumers assess the risks they are taking, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) publishes the amount of nicotine foun

QveST [7]

Answer:

We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Population mean, μ = 31.7 milligrams

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 28.5 milligrams

Sample size, n = 9

Alpha, α = 0.05

Sample standard deviation, s = 2.8 milligrams

First, we design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: \mu = 31.7\text{ milligrams}\\H_A: \mu < 31.7\text{ milligrams}$

We use One-tailed t test to perform this hypothesis.

Formula:

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{\bar{x} - \mu}{\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} }$

Putting all the values, we have

$t_{stat} = \displaystyle\frac{28.5 - 31.7}{\frac{2.8}{\sqrt{9}} } = -3.429$

Now, $t_{critical} \text{ at 0.05 level of significance, 8 degree of freedom } = -1.860$

Since,

$t_{stat} < t_{critical}$

We fail to accept the null hypothesis and accept the alternate hypothesis. We conclude that the mean nicotine content is less than 31.7 milligrams for this brand of cigarette.
