Use the cumulative frequencies to figure out what the individual frequencies would be. Check out the attached image for the table of x values with their corresponding frequency (f) values. Note how the partial sums add up to the cumulative frequency values.
Once you know the frequency f values, multiply each x and f pair together in each row. The column labeled "x*f" represents each product. Afterward, add up everything in the x*f column to get the final answer 6.8
If a line is parallel to another it has the same slope. Since the equation y = 1/3x +8 is parallel to the line we are trying to find, our second line will have the slope of 1/3x as well
This is the equation of a line:
y = mx + b
m = slope = 1/3x
b = y intercept = unknown
We have to find b to make this equation complete. How do we do this?
First plug what you know into the equation: y = 1/3x + b
Second we must solve for b. To do this plug a point that passes through the line (in this case they said (6, -2) passes through the line) into the x and y of the equation:
-2 = 1/3(6) + b
Now solve for b!
-2 = 6/3 + b
-2 = 2 + b
- 2 - 2 = b
-4 = b
The equation parallel to y=1/3x + 8 and passes through point (6, -2) is y = 1/3x - 4
The image below is the two line one a coordinate plane. As you can see, they are parallel to each other
Hope this helped!
