Differentiate both sides of the equation of the circle with respect to , treating
as a function of
:
This gives the slope of any line tangent to the circle at the point .
Rewriting the given line in slope-intercept form tells us its slope is
In order for this line to be tangent to the circle, it must intersect the circle at the point such that
In the equation of the circle, we have
If , then
, so we omit this case.
If , then
, as expected. Therefore
is a tangent line to the circle
at the point (1, -2).
Answer:
Average Rate of Pay = $ 5.23 /hr
Step-by-step explanation:
We have a data in form of Hours of Baby Sitting and Amount of Pay. Since the Amount of pay depends upon the Hours of Baby Sitting. Thus, we take y = Amount of Pay, while x = Hours of Baby Sitting. So, the data becomes:
x (Hours) = 12 13 16 17 20
y ($) = 54 56 65 64 100
The statistical data calculated is:
∑x = 78, ∑x² = 1258, ∑y = 339, ∑xy = 5504, n = no. of data points = 5
Now, we use linear regression model to fit a straight line to this data.
y = a + bx --------- eqn (1)
where,
b = [ n∑xy - ∑x.∑y]/[n∑x² -(∑x)²]
b = [ (5)(5504) - (78)(339)]/[(5)(1258) - (78)²]
b = 5.23
and,
a = (∑xy - b∑x²)/∑x
a = [5504 - (5.23)(1258)]/78
a = -13.83
Therefore, eqn (1) becomes:
<u>y = -13.83 + 5.23x</u>
The graph plot of this straight line fit is provided in the attachments.
Now, we derivate the equation with respect to x, to get the average rate of pay:
Average Rate of Pay = dy/dx = d/dx(-13.83 + 5.23x)
<u>Average Rate of Pay = $ 5.23 /hr</u>
