Write the equation of the line that passes through (3, 4) and (2, −1) in slope-intercept form. (2 points) a y = 3x − 7 b y = 3x

sashaice [31]

Answer: y = 5x − 11

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis represent

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (3,4) and (2, -1),

y2 = - 1

y1 = 4

x2 = 2

x1 = 3

Slope,m = (- 1 - 4)/(2 - 3) = - 5/- 1 = 5

To determine the y intercept, we would substitute x = 3, y = 4 and m= 5 into

y = mx + c. It becomes

4 = 5 × 3 + c

4 = 15 + c

c = 4 - 15 = - 11

The equation becomes

y = 5x - 11

REASONING An even integer can be represented by the expression $2n$ , where $n$ is any integer. Find three consecutive even inte

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

First Integer = 16

Second Integer = 18

Third integer = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

An even integer is represented by 2n

Where n is any integer

Let :

First Integer = 2n - 2

Second Integer = 2n

Third integer = 2n + 2

The sum of three even consecutive numbers = 2n - 2 + 2n + 2n + 2

= 2n + 2n + 2n - 2 + 2 = 54

= 6n = 54

n = 54/6

n = 9

First Integer = 2n - 2 = 2(9) - 2

= 16

Second Integer = 2n = 2(9)

= 18

Third integer = 2n + 2 = 2(9) + 2

= 20

What is an example of what property ?

vodomira [7]

Answer:

Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

7 equals (3+4).

Therefore, 4*7 equals 4*(3+4).

By distributive property, this will equal (4*3) + (4*4)

The distribution of the amount of money in savings accounts for Florida State students has an average of 1,200 dollars and a sta

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

By the Central Limit Theorem, the sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Average of 1,200 dollars and a standard deviation of 900 dollars.

This means that $\mu = 1200, \sigma = 900$

Sample of 10.

This means that $n = 10, s = \frac{900}{\sqrt{10}} = 284.6$

The sampling distribution of the sample mean amount of money in a savings account is

By the Central Limit Theorem, approximately normal with mean of 1,200 dollars and standard deviation of 284.6 dollars.
