Answer:

y=-1/5x-3.8

The y-intercept is (0,-3.8) and then the next pint would be one unit down and five units to the right. Or just plug in numbers to get your points.

Explanation:

Use the slope-point formula

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(-4)=(-1/5)(x-1)

y+4=-1/5x+1/5

y=-1/5x-3.8

The points (0, 1) and (-9, -9) fall on a particular line. What is its equation in slope-intercept form?

prohojiy [21]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b\\\\m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m - slope

b - y-intercept → (0, b)

We have the points (-9, -9) and (0, 1) - y-intercept → b = 1.

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{1-(-9)}{0-(-9)}=\dfrac{10}{9}$

Answer: $y=\dfrac{10}{9}x+1$

Is Statistics mathematics or science? Defend your answer.

ohaa [14]

Statistics is related to maths because we study, use and even consider statistic problems with reference to mathematics.

• It is mostly used to find the census, which is maths.

• It is used to find interest rates and other banking terms using statistics, which is again related to math.

• It is also used to find the average people living in a village or panchayat, which is also math.

Therefore I strongly believe that Statistics is Maths.

Thank You!

The function below crosses the x-axis once. y=3x^2-8x+8

Mekhanik [1.2K]

I believe it is false because it only passes through the y-axis not the x-axis.
