1 answer:
Answer:
- slope = 3/2
- y-intercept = 3
- x-intercept = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope is the coefficient of x when the equation is of the form ...
y = (something).
Here, we can put the equation in that form by subtracting 12x and dividing by the coefficient of y:
12x -8y = -24 . . . . . given
-8y = -12x -24 . . . . .subtract 12x
y = 3/2x +3 . . . . . . . divide by -8
This is the "slope-intercept" form of the equation. Generically, it is written ...
y = mx + b . . . . . . where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
So, the above equation answers two of your questions:
slope = 3/2
y-intercept = 3
__
The x-intercept is found fairly easily from the original equation by setting y=0:
12x = -24
x = -24/12 = -2 . . . . . the x-intercept
_____
A graph of the equation can also show you these things. The graph shows a rise of 3 units for a run of 2, so the slope is rise/run = 3/2. The line crosses the axes at x=-2 and y=3, the intercepts.

When you multiply two complex numbers given in polar form, the argument of the product is the sum of the arguments of the factors. Meanwhile, the modulus of the product is the product of the moduli of the factors.
In this case, you'd have
and the modulus would simply be
. Since
we would expect the final product to fall in the first quadrant.

Answer:
a.
b. The symbol y-bar represents the average price of hotels in the area
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The regression line equation is given by:
Where Alpha represents the slope, Beta represents the intercept with the Y axis, and epsilon represents the random component of the model. Thus,
y
Obtaining:
.
b. In a simple linear regression model the value of y-bar represents the average of all values of y observed. Thus, since y represents the prices of the hotels, then y-bar is the average price of hotels in the area.
