Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{13}{3}x+\dfrac{11}{3}}-\bold{slope\ intercept\ form}\\\boxed{13x+3y=11}-\bold{standard\ form}

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

y=mx+b

<em>m </em><em>- slope</em>

<em>b </em><em>- y-intercept</em>

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have two points

\left(\dfrac{4}{5},\ \dfrac{1}{5}\right),\ \left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{3}{2}\right)

Convert fractions to the decimals

<em>(divide the numerator by the denominator) </em>:

\dfrac{4}{5}=0.8,\ \dfrac{1}{5}=0.2,\ \dfrac{1}{2}=0.5,\ \dfrac{3}{2}=1.5

\left(\dfrac{4}{5},\ \dfrac{1}{5}\right)=(0.8,\ 0.2)\\\\\left(\dfrac{1}{2},\ \dfrac{3}{2}\right)=(0.5,\ 1.5)

Calculate the slope:

m=\dfrac{1.5-0.2}{0.5-0.8}=\dfrac{1.3}{-0.3}=-\dfrac{13}{3}

Put the value of slope and the coordinates of the first point to the equation of a line:

0.2=-\dfrac{13}{3}(0.8)+b      <em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

0.6=(-13)(0.8)+3b

0.6=-10.4+3b           <em>add 10.4 to both sides</em>

11=3b           <em>divide both sides by 3</em>

\dfrac{11}{3}=b\to b=\dfrac{11}{3}

Finally:

y=-\dfrac{13}{3}x+\dfrac{11}{3} - slope-intercept form

Convert to the standard form (Ax + By = C):

y=-\dfrac{13}{3}x+\dfrac{11}{3}      <em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

3y=-13x+11          <em>add 13x to both sides</em>

13x+3y=11 - standard form

Answer:

y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2}) point-slope form

13x+3y=11 (standard form)

Let me know if you prefer another form.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line can be found using \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} provided you are given two points on the line.

We are.

Now you can use that formula.  But I really love to just line up the points vertically then subtract them vertically then put 2nd difference over 1st difference.

 (4/5  ,  1/5)

-( 1/2  ,  3/2)

-----------------

3/10          -13/10

2nd/1st = \frac{\frac{-13}{10}}{\frac{3}{10}}=\frac{-13}{3} is our slope.

So the following is point-slope form for a linear equaiton:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \text{ where } m \text{ is slope and } (x_1,y_1) \text{ is a point on the line }    

Plug in a point (x_1,y_1)=(\frac{1}{2},\frac{3}{2}) \text{ and } m=\frac{-13}{3}.

This gives:

y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}(x-\frac{1}{2})

I'm going to distribute:

y-\frac{3}{2}=\frac{-13}{3}x-\frac{-13}{6}

Now I don't like these fractions so I'm going to multiply both sides by the least common multiply of 2,3, and 6 which is 6:

6y-9=-26x+13

Add 26x on both sides:

26x+6y-9=13

Add 9 on both sides:

26x+6y=22 This is actually standard form of a line.

It can be simplified though.

Divide both sides by 2:

13x+3y=11 (standard form)

Tems11 [23]
Checking if the sequence is an arithmetic sequence 7 - 1 = 6 13 – 7 = 6 Therefore the sequence is arithmetic, with a_0 = 1 and d = 6 a_n = a_0 + (n-1)d a_30 = 1 + (29)(6) = 175 Therefore the 30th term is 175.

Given that x overbarequals3.6667​, s Subscript xequals2.0656​, y overbarequals4.2167​, s Subscript yequals1.5613​, and requalsne
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

y = 0.7063x+2.7790

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

x bar = 3.6667\\s_x= 2.0656\\y bar = 4.2167\\s_7 = 1.5613\\r = -0.9344

We have slope of linear regression line is

a=r*\frac{s_y}{s_x} =0.9344(\frac{1.5613}{2.0656} )\\=0.7063

So regression line would be of the form

y-4.2167 = 0.7063(x-2.0656) (since it passes through xbar, y bar)

y = 0.7063x+2.7790

is the equation of regression line.

4. SOLVE FOR X:

Using the Alternate Interior Angles Theorem, we know that the 67 degree angle is congruent with the (12x - 5) degree angle. With this information, all I have to do is set the two equal to each other and solve for x.

67 = 12x - 5

67 + 5 = 12x - 5 + 5

72/12 = 12x/12

6 = x

x = 6

SOLVE FOR Y:

Using the Vertical Angles theorem, we know that angle y must be congruent to the 67 degree angle.

y = 67 degrees.


5. SOLVE FOR Y:

Alternate exterior angles: 6(x - 12) = 120

6x - 72 + 72 = 120 + 72

6x/6 = 192/6

x = 32

SOLVE FOR Y:

6((32) - 12) + y = 180

192 - 72 + y = 180

120 + y - 120 = 180 - 120

y = 60
