What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,7) and is parallel to the line y= -2x-1

1 answer:

3 0

if we look at the equation y = -2x - 1, is already in slope-intercept form, therefore, $\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{-2}x-1$ has a slope of -2.

now, parallel lines have exactly equal slopes, therefore a parallel to that one above, will have also a slope of -2, so we're really looking for a line whose slope is -2 and runs through -1, 7.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-1}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{7})\qquad \qquad \qquad slope = m\implies -2\\\\\\\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-7=-2[x-(-1)]\\\\\\y-7=-2(x+1)\implies y-7=-2x-2\implies y=-2x+5$

In a survey, 60% of interviewees say they like beach sports, while 55% like mountain sports. If 20% like both, what fraction of

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports.

This percentage can be calculated with the formula:

P(M or B) = P(M) + P(B) - P(M and B)

where:

P(M or M) is the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports,

P(B) is the percentage of people that like beach sports,

P(M) is the percentage of people that like mountain sports,

P(B) is the percentage of people that like beach and mountain sports.

Then:

P(M or B) = 0.55 + 0.60 - 0.20 = 0.95

95% of the people like mountain or beach sport. Now, to find the percentage of people that like neither, we just need to make 1 minus the percentage of people that like beach or mountain sports:

P(Neither) = 1 - P(M or B) = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05

0.05 or 5% of the people interviewed like neither of these sports.

ella [17]

Answer:

a. Grand Mean = 2.799

b. Standard Deviation = 0.01387

c. Standard Error = 0.0016

d. The range with a Z score of 3 = (2.75739, 2.84061)

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Grand mean :

Given that

Sum of 80 values = 223.91

Total observation = 80

Grand mean = 223.91/80 = 2.799

b. With the excel command "STDEV[range of cells]", we get the standard deviation as = 0.01387

c. Standard error = Standard deviation / root of n

$= 0.01387/\sqrt{80}\\ = 0.0016$

d. The range with a Z score of 3 :

lower limit = mean - (3 * SD) = 2.799 - (0.04161) = 2.75739

upper limit = mean + (3 * SD) = 2.799 + (0.04161) = 2.84061

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope
b - y-intercept

Linear Regression

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw any best line of fit, as long as it is reasonable around the points that are given.

We can just take 2 points and use slope formula and Slope-Intercept Form to find the equation for the best line of fit.

Using Linear Regression, we can determine the true best line of fit using graphing utilities.

Finding the best line of fit

Define 2 points

Point (21600, 205)

Point (27000, 290)

Find slope m

Substitute in point [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{290-205}{27000-21600}$
[Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{85}{5400}$
[Fraction] Simplify: $\displaystyle m=\frac{17}{1080}$

Find equation

Define equation [SIF]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x + b$
Substitute in point: $\displaystyle 290 = \frac{17}{1080}(27000) + b$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 290 = 425 + b$
Isolate y-intercept b: $\displaystyle -135 = b$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle b = -135$
Redefine equation: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x - 135$

Slope-Intercept Form tells us that our slope m = $\displaystyle \frac{17}{1080}$ and our y-intercept $\displaystyle b = -135$ .

Setting this as function f(x), we can see from the graph that it is extremely accurate (Blue line).

Using Linear Regression

Depending on the graphing calc you have, the steps may be different.

Using a graphing calc, we can use statistics and determine the best best line of fit.

When we determine the values, we should see that our equation would be g(x) (Green Line).
