We want to write the equation of the line passing through these two points in standard form.

First, we are going to do this in slope intercept form and then change the form to standard form, which is Ax + By = C

We will use the equation y = mx + b, and since we are given two points on the line we are going to determine the slope of the line by determining the change in the y coordinates

m = y sub2 - y sub1 divided by the change in the X coordinates x sub2 – x sub1

We will start by determining the slope

(1, -6) the 1 is x sub 1 and the 6 is y sub 1

(-7, 2) the -7 is x sub 2 and the 2 is y sub 2

2 - (-6) = 8

-7 -1 = -8

so equation now is m = -1

So now again referring back to the slope intercept of the line we now know y = -1 + b. We still have to determine b and the y intercept, and we can do this by using one of the given points and substituting in the value for y and x, and then solve for b. Since these points are on the line, they must satisfy this equation. If we use the first coordinates, we would substitute 1 for x and -6 for y.

-6 = -1 times x, which is 1 + b

b = -5

construct the line equation y = mx + b where m = -1 & b = -5

In slope intercept form the equation would be y = -x - 5

Now we want to write this in standard form now. We have to deal with two things. The x and y terms have to be on the left side and A and B and C have to be integers.

The standard form of a linear equation is Ax + By=CA x + By = C . Move all terms containing variables to the left side of the equation.

Add x to both sides of the equation.

y + x = -5

Reorder y & x

x + y = -5

PLEASE HELP 30 POINTS <br> Prove that AM is perpendicular to BD

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

AM is perpendicular to BD because they from a right angle and the definition of perpendicular is when two lines meet they form a right angle. AM goes straight down and BD form the horizontal line. These two lines form a right angle so AM is perpendicular to BD.

A machine that fills beverage cans is supposed to put 12 ounces of beverage in each can. The standard deviation of the amount in

erica [24]

Answer:

$\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{0.0144} 0.0217 =13.54$

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Now we can calculate the p value using the alternative hypothesis:

$p_v =2*P(\chi^2 >13.54)=0.279$

Since the p value is higher than the signficance level assumed of 0.05 we have enough evidence to FAIL to reject the null hypothesis and there is no evidence to conclude that the true deviation differs from 0.12 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following data:"12.14 12.05 12.27 11.89 12.06

12.14 12.05 12.38 11.92 12.14"

We can calculate the sample deviation with this formula:

$s =\sqrt{\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n (X_i -\bar X)^2}{n-1}}$

$n=10$ represent the sample size

$\alpha=0.05$ represent the confidence level

$s^2 =0.0217$ represent the sample variance

$\sigma^2_0 =0.12^2= 0.0144$ represent the value to verify

Null and alternative hypothesis

We want to determine whether the standard deviation differs from 0.12 ounce, so the system of hypothesis would be:

Null Hypothesis: $\sigma^2 = 0.0144$

Alternative hypothesis: $\sigma^2 \neq 0.0144$

The statistic can be calculated like this;

$\chi^2 =\frac{n-1}{\sigma^2_0} s^2$

$\chi^2 =\frac{10-1}{0.0144} 0.0217 =13.54$

The degrees of freedom are:

$df=n-1=10-1=9$

Now we can calculate the p value using the alternative hypothesis:

$p_v =2*P(\chi^2 >13.54)=0.279$

3. Last year, the numbers of skateboards produced per day at a certain factory were normally distributed with a mean of 20,500 s

Oxana [17]

Let x be a random variable representing the number of skateboards produced
a.) P(x ≤ 20,555) = P(z ≤ (20,555 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≤ 1) = 0.84134 = 84.1%

b.) P(x ≥ 20,610) = P(z ≥ (20,610 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≥ 2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275 = 2.3%

c.) P(x ≤ 20,445) = P(z ≤ (20,445 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≤ -1) = 1 - P(z ≤ 1) = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866 = 15.9%

Tia measured the daily high temperature in Kats, Colorado for each of the 30 days in April. She then created both a dot plot and

lara31 [8.8K]

*see attachment below showing the dot plot and box plot created by Tia

Answer:

Dot plot

Step-by-step explanation:

In a dot plot, the temperature of a day is represented by 1 dot. There are 30 dots on the box plot shown in the attachment that was made by Tia.

This dot plot display makes it easier to find how many days had a temperature that is higher than 15°.

Thus, from the dot plot, we have:

2 dots representing 2 days having a temperature of 16°C each

2 days also have daily temperature of 17°C

2 days have temperature of 18°C as well, and

1 day has temperature of 19° C.

Therefore, the number of days that had a temperature above 15°C is 7 days.
