Graphing linear equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
ella [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

To ensure uniformity on an exam

Or

To test whether you can distinguish between the two formats

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is when a straight line equation is rearranged in the form:

ax + by = c

Therefore y=2x+4 in standard form is

2x - y =  - 4

The slope-intercept form is when a a straight line equation is written in the form:

y =  mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

The given equation is

y =  -  \frac{1}{2} x  - 5

This is already in slope-intercept form:

The standard form and slope-intercept forms are just formats.

Your instructor may restrict you to leave your answer in one of these formats maybe for uniformity on a test.

You may also decide to rewrite an equation in slope-intercept form, so that you can easily identify the slope and y-intercept easily for graphing purpose.

How to solve 5a + c = -8a
sergey [27]

Solve for a:

5a+c=-8a\ \ \ |-c\\\\5a=-8a-c\ \ \ |+8a\\\\13a=-c\ \ \ |:13\\\\\boxed{a=-\dfrac{c}{13}}

Solve for c:

5a+c=-8a\ \ \ \ |-5a\\\\\boxed{c=-13a}

the mean percentage of a population of people eating out at least once a week is 57% with a standard deviation of 3.5 %. assume
zhuklara [117]
Given:
Population proportion, \mu _{p} = 57% = 0.57
Population standard deviation, σ  = 3.5% = 0.035
Sample size, n = 40
Confidence level = 95%

The standard error is
SE_{p} =  \sqrt{ \frac{p(1-p)}{n} } = \sqrt{ \frac{0.57*0.43}{40} } =0.0783

The confidence interval is 
\hat{p} \pm z^{*}SE_{p}
where
\hat{p} = sample proportion
z* = 1.96 at the 95% confidence lvvel

The sample proportion lies in the interval
(0.57-1.96*0.0783, 0.57+1.96*0.0783) = (0.4165, 0.7235)

Answer: Between 0.417 and 72.4), or between (41% and 72%)
