Answer:
Assuming you want an equation, y = -4/3x - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Formula is y = mx + b
m = slope= -4/3
b = y-intercept = -1
To find the mean of a set, add up all of the data points and divide by the number of data points.
For the first set:
(14+18+21+15+17) ÷ 5 = 85 ÷ 5 = 17
For the second set:
(15+17+22+20+16) ÷ 5 = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
To find the MAD (mean absolute deviation) of a set, find the mean of the distances of each data point from the mean.
For the first set:
(3+1+4+2+0) ÷ 5 = 10 ÷ 5 = 2
For the second set:
(3+1+4+2+2) ÷ 5 = 12 ÷ 5 = 2.4
To find the means-to-MAD ratio of a set, divide its mean by its MAD.
For the first set:
17 ÷ 2 = 8.5
For the second set:
18 ÷ 2.4 = 7.5
I must make some assumptions here about what you may have meant by your "<span>linear equation y=3x−5y=3x−5 y equals 3 x , minus 5."
You've written "y=3x-5" three times on the same line of type. Why is that?
Let's change what you've typed to the following:
</span><span>linear equation y=3x−5
separate linear equation y equals 3x minus 5, or y=3x-5
Please go back and ensure that you have copied down this problem precisely as it was originally presented. Be careful not to duplicate info (as you did in typing "y=3x-5," followed by "</span><span>y equals 3 x , minus 5."
</span><span>
y = 3x - 5 is, as you say, "a linear equation." The slope of this line is 3 and the y-intercept is (0, -5).
As to form: This is a "slope-intercept equation of a straight line."
Other forms include "General form of the equation of a straight line," "Point-slope form."</span>
