Cross multiply? 9x2=18/3= 6
Answer:
y = -4x + 60
Step-by-step explanation:
(0, 60) and (4,44)
Slope:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(44 - 60)/(4-0)
m= (-16)/4
m= -4
Slope-intercept:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 60 = -4(x - 0)
y - 60 = -4x
y = -4x + 60
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are to give the reason why we would reject the null hypothesis during the hypothesis testing.
In considering whether to accept the null hypothesis or reject the null hypothesis, we have to take into consideration two things.
The p-value and the alpha value. The p-value refers to the probability which is directly obtainable from the standard score which is referred to as the z-score while the alpha refers to the level of significance.
Now, when the p-value is less than alpha, we simply reject the null hypothesis and accept the alternative hypothesis. In a case however, we have the value of p greater than or equal to the significance level alpha, we simply accept the null hypothesis in this case.
The question asks for a rejection case and this can happen only when the p-value is less than the level of significance alpha
The first step is to find the slope. Use the slope formula
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
The two points are (x1,y1) = (-1,5) and (x2,y2) = (2,-1)
So,
x1 = -1
y1 = 5
and
x2 = 2
y2 = -1
will be plugged into the slope formula to get...
m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m = (-1-5)/(2-(-1))
m = (-1-5)/(2+1)
m = (-6)/(3)
m = -2
The slope is -2
Use m = -2 and one of the points to find the y intercept b. I'll use the point (x,y) = (-1,5) ---> x = -1, y = 5
y = mx+b ... slope intercept form
5 = -2*(-1)+b
5 = 2+b
5-2 = 2+b-2
3 = b
b = 3
The y intercept is 3
-----------------------------------
m = -2 is the slope
b = 3 is the y intercept
Therefore y = mx+b turns into y = -2x+3 as the equation that goes through the two points
The way we approach a problem like this is by using a technique called "collecting like terms".
This means that we want to put all of the values with an "x" on one side and all of the normal numbers on the other. For this particular problem we can do this as follows:
5x - 6 = x + 12
Now move the (- 6) to the right side of the equation by adding 6 to both sides:
=> 5x = x + 12 + 6
Now move the (x) to the left side of the equation by subtracting (x) from both sides:
=> 5x - x = 12 + 6
Now perform the simple arithmetic on both sides:
=> 4x = 18
Now remove the 4 from in front of the (x) by multiplying the whole equation by (1/4)
=> x = 18/4
Therefore to make your open sentence true, x must equal 18/4, or to simplify, 9/2, or as a decimal, 4.5. I hope this helped, and remember to try and understand not just the answer, but the maths involved in getting to the answer too :))
