Answer:

y=1.6x+7.2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to find m or the slope so use the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 and you get your slope which is 1.6.

Then you plug in your slope to the equation including another coordinate or example (3,12) plugged in to make 12=1.6(3)+b. Now you can solve for b.

Once you do that you get b=7.2

So now with m=1.6 and b=7.2, you can finally make the equation.

y=1.6x+7.2

Find the vertex of the parabola formed by the following quadratic function: y = 3x^2 – 6x + 2

storchak [24]

Vertex form is y=a(x-h)^2+k, so we can rearrange to that form...

y=3x^2-6x+2 subtract 2 from both sides

y-2=3x^2-6x divide both sides by 3

(y-2)/3=x^2-2x, halve the linear coefficient, square it, add it to both sides...in this case: (-2/2)^2=1 so

(y-2)/3+1=x^2-2x+1 now the right side is a perfect square

(y-2+3)/3=(x-1)^2

(y+1)/3=(x-1)^2 multiply both sides by 3

y+1=3(x-1)^2 subtract 1 from both sides

y=3(x-1)^2-1 so the vertex is:

(1, -1)

...

Now if you'd like you can commit to memory the vertex point for any parabola so you don't have to do the calculations like what we did above. The vertex of any quadratic (parabola), ax^2+bx+c is:

x= -b/(2a), y= (4ac-b^2)/(4a)

Then you will always be able to do a quick calculation of the vertex :)

What is the slope of the line shown in the graph?

stira [4]

Y= f(x)= ax+b
when x= -1, y= -1
-1= -a+b | * ( -1)

when x= -3, y=2
2= -3a+b

-3a+b= 2
a - b= 1
--------------
2a=3
a=3/2 is the slope

Yuri computes the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set 12, 14, 9, and 21. He finds the mean is 14. His steps for

IgorC [24]

The correct question is
<span>Yuri computes the mean and standard deviation for the sample data set 12, 14, 9, and 21. he finds the mean is 14. his steps for finding the standard deviation are below. what is the first error he made in computing the standard deviation
</span>see the picture in the attached figure N 1

we know that
The formula for Sample Standard Deviation is indicated in the attached figure N2

in this problem
n=4 and Yuri had to divide in the formula by 3

therefore
the answer is Yuri divided by n instead of n -1
