Determine the intercepts of the line that passes through the following points (1,2) (3,10) (5,18)

Mathematics
1 answer:
musickatia [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

  (1/2, 0), (0, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can determine the slope from ...

  slope = (change in y)/(change in x) = (10 -2)/(3 -1) = 8/2 = 4

Then an equation for the line can be written for slope m and point (h, k) as ...

  m(x -h) -(y -k) = 0

Using the slope we calculated and the first point, we have the equation ...

  4(x -1) -(y -2) = 0

  4x -4 -y +2 = 0 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x -y = 2 . . . . . . . . . . put in standard form

Now, we can divide by the constant on the right to put this into intercept form:

  x/(x-intercept) + y/(y-intercept) = 1

  x/(1/2) + y/(-2) = 1

The x-intercept is 1/2; the y-intercept is -2.

How to graph y=-3x+15
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Well first you put the y-intercept on the graph. In this case it would be 15

So graph the point (0,15)

The you do the slope which is 3

so you always do rise over run for slope.

If 3 were a fraction it would be 3/1 so go up 3 points and the go right 1 point from (0,15)

hope this helps .-.

The graph of the equation below is a circle. What is the length of the radius of the circle? (x - 4)^2 + (y + 12)^2 = 17^2
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer is:  [D]:  "17" .
______________________________________________________
The radius is:  " 17" .
______________________________________________________
Note:
______________________________________________________
The formula/equation for the graph of a circle is:
______________________________________________________
   (x − h)²  +<span> </span> (y − k)² =  r²  ;

in which:  

          " (h, k) " ; are the coordinate of the point of the center of the circle;

           "r" is the length of the "radius" ; for which we want to determine;
_______________________________________________________
We are given the following equation of the graph of a particular circle:
_______________________________________________________

          →  (x − 4)²  +  (y + 12)² =  17² ;

which is in the correct form:

→  " (x − h)²  +  (y − k)² =  r²  " ;

 in which:  " h = 4 " ;

                  " k = -12" ;

                   "r = 17 " ;  which is the "radius" ; which is our answer.

          →  { Note that: "k = NEGATIVE  12" } ;

→  Since the equation <u>for this particular circle</u> contains the expression:             _________________________________________________________    
                      →     "...(y + k)² ..." ;  
         
[as opposed to the standard form:  "...(y − k)² ..." ] ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since the coordinates of the center of a circle are represented by:
            " (h, k) " ;  
 
→  which are:  " (4, -12) " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ; 
_________________________________________________________
→  And since:  " k = -12 " ;  (<u>for this particular circle</u>) ;
_________________________________________________________
then: 

 " [y − k ] ²  =  [ y − (k) ] ²  =  " [ y − (-12) ] ² " ;
                                    
                                         =  " ( y + 12)² "  ;
                                    
{NOTE:  Since:  "subtracting a negative" is the same as "adding a positive" ;

           →   So;  " [ y − (-12 ] " = " [ y + (⁺ 12) ] " = " (y + 12) "
___________________________________________________  
Note:  The above explanation is relevant to confirm that the equation is, in fact, in "proper form"; to ensure that the:  radius, "r" ;  is:  "17" .
___________________________________________________
           →    Since:  "r  =  17 " ;  

           →  The radius is:  " 17 " ;

          which is:  Answer choice:  [D]:  "17" .

\mathbb P(286
\mathbb P(286

The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of any normal distributed data set lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

\mathbb P(-2
\implies\mathbb P(-2

The same rule states that about 95% lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Using this rule, and the fact that any normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, you have

0.95=2\mathbb P(-2
\implies\mathbb P(-2

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day
Anton [14]

Answer:

The most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Step-by-step explanation:

The average number of traffic tickets issued in a city on any given day  Sunday-Saturday  can be approximated by

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37

Where  x represents the number of days after Sunday

T(x) represents the number of traffic tickets issued.

Sunday = x=0

Monday = x=1

Tuesday = x=2

Wednesday = x=3

Thursday = x =4

Friday = x=5

Saturday = x=6

Substitute  x= 0

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(0)^2 + 84(0) + 37\\T(x)=37

On Sunday 37 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 1

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(1)^2 + 84(1) + 37\\T(x)=115

On Monday 115 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 2

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(2)^2 + 84(2) + 37\\T(x)=181

On Tuesday 181 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 3

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(3)^2 + 84(3) + 37\\T(x)=235

On Wednesday 235 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 4

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(4)^2 + 84(4) + 37\\T(x)=277

On Thursday 277 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 5

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(5)^2 + 84(5) + 37\\T(x)=307

On Friday 307 tickets were issued

Substitute  x= 6

T(x) = -6x^2 + 84x + 37\\T(x) = -6(6)^2 + 84(6) + 37\\T(x)=325

On Saturday 325 tickets were issued

Hence the most tickets were written on Saturday .On Saturday 325 tickets were issued
