Answer:

y – 2 = (x – 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

because (3, 2) was the point used for the equation but turned negative because you need to make it negative for the equation. y - y1 =m(x - x1)

What is the equation of the line that passes through the points (4/5,1/5) and (1/2,3/2)?

Setler [38]

Answer:

$y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2})$ point-slope form

$13x+3y=11$ (standard form)

Let me know if you prefer another form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$ provided you are given two points on the line.

We are.

Now you can use that formula. But I really love to just line up the points vertically then subtract them vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

(4/5 , 1/5)

-( 1/2 , 3/2)

-----------------

3/10 -13/10

2nd/1st = $\frac{\frac{-13}{10}}{\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{-13}{3}$ is our slope.

So the following is point-slope form for a linear equaiton:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \text{ where } m \text{ is slope and } (x_1,y_1) \text{ is a point on the line }$

Plug in a point $(x_1,y_1)=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}) \text{ and } m=\frac{-13}{3}$ .

This gives:

$y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2})$

I'm going to distribute:

$y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}x-\frac{-13}{6}$

Now I don't like these fractions so I'm going to multiply both sides by the least common multiply of 2,3, and 6 which is 6:

$6y-9=-26x+13$

Add 26x on both sides:

$26x+6y-9=13$

Add 9 on both sides:

$26x+6y=22$ This is actually standard form of a line.

It can be simplified though.

Divide both sides by 2:

$13x+3y=11$ (standard form)

Lilit [14]

Answer:

C) 11

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Previous concepts

A confidence interval is "a range of values that’s likely to include a population value with a certain degree of confidence. It is often expressed a % whereby a population means lies between an upper and lower interval".

The margin of error is the range of values below and above the sample statistic in a confidence interval.

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

$\bar X$ represent the sample mean for the sample

$\mu$ population mean (variable of interest)

s represent the sample standard deviation

n represent the sample size

Since the Confidence is 0.90 or 90%, the value of $\alpha=0.1$ and $\alpha/2 =0.05$ , and we can use excel, a calculator or a table to find the critical value. The excel command would be: "=-NORM.INV(0.05,0,1)".And we see that $z_{\alpha/2}=1.64$
