Point-slope form: y-y1 = m(x-x1)
Standard form: ax + by = c
Slope-intercept form: y = mx+b
Start by finding the slope. We know it is negative since the line is decreasing. The slope is -4/3.
To create point-slope form, we need to get one point from the graph. Let's use (3,0).
To create slope-intercept form, we need the slope and the y-intercept. The y-intercept is the point where our equation crosses the y-axis. For this equation, it is 4.
To get standard form, solve the equation in terms of C.
Point-slope form: y = -4/3(x-3)
Slope-intercept form: y = -4/3x + 4
Standard form: 4/3x + y = 4
Answer:
15 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem involves using the Pythagorean theorem, since the figure made with the ladder, building, and ground would make a right triangle. You are given the values 17ft and 8ft, which is enough to plug into the Pythagorean theorem.
The ladder, 17ft, would be the longest side (hypotenuse). The 8ft building would be one of the legs of the right triangle.
1. Plug your given values correctly into the Pythagorean Theorem.
2. Now solve for b, which is your unknown distance (the distance the bottom of the ladder is from the bottom of the building).
--> Square 8 and 17
--> Subtract 64 from both sides
--> Square root both sides to get b by itself
b = 15
3. The distance is 15 feet
*Note: to make solving this problem easier, try drawing out the given situation, namely the building and the ladder
Answer:
not statistically significant at ∝ = 0.05
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample size( n ) = 61
Average for student leader graduates to finish degree ( x') = 4.97 years
std = 1.23
Average for student body = 4.56 years
<u>Determine if the difference between the student leaders and the entire student population is statistically significant at alpha</u>
H0( null hypothesis ) : u = 4.56
Ha : u ≠ 4.56
using test statistic
test statistic ; t = ( x' - u ) / std√ n
= ( 4.97 - 4.56 ) / 1.23 √ 61
= 2.60
let ∝ = 0.05 , critical value = -2.60 + 2.60
Hence we wont fail to accept H0
This shows that the difference between the student leaders and the entire student population is not statistically significant at ∝ = 0.05
