Answer:

y = 2x

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula is y = mx + b

m is slope

slope = (4 - -2) / (2 - -1) = 6 / 3 = 2

Now equation is y = 2x + b

To find b, substitute one of the coordinates in the equation. Let's use (2,4)

y = 2x + b

4 = 2(2) + b

b = 0

So equation is y = 2x

Given a mean of 61.2 and a standard deviation of 21.4 what is the z score of the value 90 rounded to the nearest tenth?

Nitella [24]

Answer:

The z-score of 90 is 1.35

Step-by-step explanation:

The z-score is calculated using the formula:

$z = \frac{x - \mu}{ \sigma}$

From the question, it was given that the mean is

$\mu = 61.2$

and the standard deviation is

$\sigma = 21.4$

and x=90.

We substitute the given values to obtain:

$z = \frac{90 - 61.2}{21.4}$

$z = \frac{28.8}{21.4} = 1.35$

What is an equation of a line, in point-slope form, that passes through (1, −7) and has a slope of −23 ?

DENIUS [597]

The equation a line is:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Substitute the slope and the coordinate.

y - (-7) = -23(x - 1)

y + 7 = -23(x - 1)

D) y + 7 = -23(x - 1) is the solution

Find the midpoint of the line segment with the endpoints (-6,-8) and (-2,-6)

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint between two points is just the average of the coordinates.

mp=((x2+x1)/2, (y2+y1)/2)

mp=((-6-2)/2, (-8-6)/2)

mp=(-4, -7)
