Problem 1
The error is 2 inches since her estimate is 2 inches off the true value.
We can think of it like this
4 feet = 4*12 = 48 inches
4 feet, 2 inches = 4 ft + 2 in = 48 in + 2 in = 50 inches
So she guesses he is 48 inches, but he's really 50 inches, so 50-48 = 2 inches is her error.
==================================================
Problem 2
Divide the error (2 inches) over the actual height (50 inches) to get
2/50 = 4/100 = 4%
The percentage error is 4%
This means she is 4% off the target.
Note how 4% of 50 = 0.04*50 = 2 which was the error we found back in problem 1.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the points (3, 9) and (9, 1), we must first solve for the slope of the line before proceeding with writing the point-slope form.
In order to solve for the slope (<em>m </em>), use the following formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
Let (x₁, y₁) = (3, 9)
(x₂, y₂) = (9, 1)
Substitute these values into the given formula:
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (1 - 9)/(9 - 3)

Therefore, the slope of the line, m = -4/3.
Next, using the slope, m = -4/3, and one of the given points, (x₁, y₁) = (3, 9), substitute these values into the following point-slope form:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
⇒ This is the <u>point-slope form</u>.
Answer:
I think it is 14.1421356237. I needed you can round it down to 14.14.
