Interpret the slope in terms of the situation. Does it make sense?

Mathematics

poizon [28]3 years ago

a) Yes the slope makes sense, as the players foot length gets larger, their overall height also increases signifying that there is a correlation between foot size and height.

b) The y-intercept occurs when the line "intercepts" the y-axis. It also makes sense because a player that has 25 cm in distance from heel to toe may very likely be 1.55 meters in height. This is probable.

c) The equation of any line is:

y=mx+b (m= slope, b= y-intercept)

The slope of this line can be found by locating two points where the line intersects. I will use points (25.5,1.6) and (26.25,1.7).

The formula to find the slope is (y(2)-y(1)) / (x(2)-x(1)) = m

1.7 - 1.6 / 26.25 - 25.5 = .1/.75 = .13333

This line crosses the y-intercept at about 1.55m

The equation of this line is:

y = .1333 x + 1.55

(No links please) There were 2 red marbles, 3 blue marbles and 5 gold marbles in a bag.
Rashid [163]

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

You started with 10 marbles total. You removed one marble and did not replace it, so you now have 9 marbles. The marble that you removed was NOT a gold marble, so you still have 5 gold marbles.

This means that out of the 9 marbles that you have left, 5 of them are gold.

This means you have a 5/9 chance of drawing a gold marble next.

The number of bacteria on a piece of toast triples every
Illusion [34]

Answer:

You begin with 1 bacteria, and after 1 hour it has tripled so you now have 1 x 3=3.

Next hour, it triples again so you now have 1 x 3 x 3=9

You can see the pattern shows that the number of bacteria is multiplying every hour by a factor of 3. An exponent denotes how many times we are multiplying a number by itself, for example: 34 means we are multiplying the number 3 a total of 4 times (3 x 3 x 3 x 3).

Therefore the question is requiring us to triple the number of bacteria every hour for 24 hours, which means we are multiplying by 3 a total of 24 times. This gives us:

n x 324 where n is the number of bacteria you begin with.

Since you begin with 1 bacteria, the solution is 1 x 3 to the power 24 and u will get ur answer
