\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{5}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{3})\qquad  (\stackrel{x_2}{2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-1}) \\\\\\ slope =  m\implies  \cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{-1-3}{2-5}\implies \cfrac{-4}{-3}\implies \cfrac{4}{3} \\\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-3=\cfrac{4}{3}(x-5)\implies y-3=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{20}{3} \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{20}{3}+3\implies y=\cfrac{4}{3}x-\cfrac{11}{3}

First, we must determine the slope:

Slope = m = (Y2 -Y1) ÷ (X2 -X1)

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

Slope = -4 / -3 = 4 / 3 = 1.33333333...

Now, we have to fill in this equaton:

y = mx + b we know the slope "m"

y = 1.3333... x + b now we'll take a point (5, 3) and solve for "b"

b = y -mx b = 3 - 1.3333... *5

b = -3.6666666667

y = 1.3333... x -3.6666...

Brrunno [24]
While I'm unsure what the word choices were, his claim is likely to be true. 

Since he claims the probability of heads is 40%, that should be what we see in an experiment.  0.38 is very close to 0.40, or 40%, so this is true.  Therefore his claim is likely to be true, and the probability of tails should be about 60%.

Write the equation in slope intercept form of a line that goes through (4,9) and has a slope of 1/2
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

here m = \frac{1}{2}, hence

y = \frac{1}{2} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (4, 9) into the partial equation

9 = 2 + c ⇒ c = 9 - 2 = 7

y = \frac{1}{2} x + 7 ← equation in slope-intercept form
