Think of it as a normal linear equation first. Let's find the slope.
m = rise/run = (3-1)/(0-1) = -2
We know the slope is negative now, so we can immediately get rid of the first two answers. Now, we know that the solutions must be under the line itself, so we can try figuring it out by testing some points. Let's use (0,0).
Is 0 </> 0+3? Since it's <, then we know the last answer is correct (y < -2x + 3).
Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
The assumed frequency of defects is 2/16.
When we apply this rate to 24, (2/16)*24, we get 3.
Therefore, we can assume around 3 defective boxes tomorrow.
The point slope form of a straight line is y-y1 = m(x-x1)
y -(-3) = -7(x-5)
y + 3 = -7(x-5)
y = -7x + 35 - 3
y = -7x + 32
