Slope Intercept form can someone please help me I am so confused

You want to get familiar with what the slope-intercept form equation means. even though the discussion board covers some of this... slope-intercept is y = mx + b, and in it, x and y are a point on your graph (x, y), m is the slope, and b is your y-intercept. in word problems, any constant will typically be b.

but, really, to answer this word problem, you don't have to think so hard about y = mx + b. just read the problem and bring your information together:

"the venue will cost $1500 to rent for an evening"
"$25 per person"

so they only gave you two bits of information, and you just have to decide where they fit. if the venue costs $1500 for an evening, that's a fixed cost--the 1500 isn't going to go up or down depending on the number of people at the charity event. it stays. you're paying 1500 regardless, even if 2 people show up. because the discussion board states that b should represent your starting amount, you're automatically $1500 in the hole, because you have to spend that much to get the venue. you will, however, write it as a positive integer, because the question wants you to calculate the total cost, by my understanding--you're adding the cost of the people with the cost of the venue.

$25 is not a fixed amount. if it's $25 per person, then if 2 people come, it costs $50, if 3 people arrive, it costs $75. this cost is dependent upon the number of people, which you can call "x"

with that information, write any other equation you would for a word problem:

y = 25x + 1500

that's your equation, and it just so happens that this equation is in y = mx + b format. the x-value represents the number of people who show up for the charity; the y-value represents the overall cost.

and you need three solutions for this equation--which, luckily, is a quick and easy process!! choose an x-value and solve for y.

y = 25x + 1500

when x = 1...
y = 25(1) + 1500
y = 25 + 1500
y = 1525
ordered pair: (1, 1525)

when x = 2...
y = 25(2) + 1500
y = 50 + 1500
y = 1550
ordered pair: (2, 1550)

when x = 3...
y = 25(3) + 1500
y = 75 + 1500
y = 1575
ordered pair: (3, 1575)

i hope that helped!!

zysi [14]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274  

r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.819)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

The correlation coefficient is a "statistical measure that calculates the strength of the relationship between the relative movements of two variables". It's denoted by r and its always between -1 and 1.

Solution to the problem

Part a

Year (x): 1940, 1945 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985

Vehicles (Y): 32.4, 31.0, 49.2, 62.7, 73.9, 90.4, 108.4, 132.9, 155.8, 171.7

After apply natural log for the two variables and create the scatterplot in excel we got the following result on the figure attached.

Part b

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:  

r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}  

For our case we have this:

n=10 \sum x = 75.819, \sum y = 43.5231, \sum xy = 330.0321, \sum x^2 =574.8598, \sum y^2 =192.8274  

r=\frac{10(330.0321)-(75.81948)(43.5231)}{\sqrt{[10(574.8598) -(75.81948)^2][10(192.8274) -(43.5231)^2]}}=0.989  

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.989

Solve y
Ksivusya [100]

The value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7

<h3>How to solve for y?</h3>

The equation is given as:

-3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right)

Open the bracket

-3 = 7y - 9

Add 9 to both sides of the equation

7y = 6

Divide both sides by 7

y= 6/7

Hence, the value of y in -3 = 7\left(y-\dfrac97\right) is 6/7

4) A zoologist was checking the weights of three gorillas. Gorilla A weighed 559 pounds, gorilla B weighed 827 pounds and gorill
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1,516 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Gorilla A weighed = 559 pounds Gorilla B weighed = 827 pounds Gorilla C weighed = 130 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = gorilla A + gorilla B + gorilla C

= 559 pounds + 827 pounds + 130 pounds

= 1,516 pounds

Total weight of the gorillas = 1,516 pounds
