What is the slope-intercept form of the function described by this table?

Answer:

y = -4x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

As x-values increase by 1, y-values decrease by 4. The slope of the line is ...

... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -4/1 = -4

We can use the first (x, y) pair as a point to use in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form can be written, for slope m and point (h, k) ...

... y = m(x -h) +k

using m = -4 and (h, k) = (1, -2), we can fill in the numbers to get ...

... y = -4(x -1) -2

... y = -4x +4 -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... y = -4x +2 . . . . . . slope-intercept form

_____

<em>Alternate approach</em>

After you recognize that a change in x of 1 gives a change in y of -4, you can work backward one step to find the table value for y corresponding to x=0. That will be -2+4 = +2. Now, you know both the slope (-4) and the y-intercept (+2), so you can write the equation directly from this knowledge:

... y = -4x +2

The probability that a can of paint contains contamination is 3.23%, and the probability of a mixing error is 2.4%. The probabil
stich3 [128]

Answer:

4.6%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a can of paint contains contamination(C) is 3.23%

P(C)=3.23%

The probability of a mixing(M) error is 2.4%.

P(M)=2.4%

The probability of both is 1.03%.

P(C \cap M)=1.03\%

We want to determine the probability that a randomly selected can has contamination or a mixing error. i.e. P(C \cup M)

In probability theory:

P(C \cup M) = P(C)+P(M)-P(C \cap M)\\P(C \cup M)=3.23+2.4-1.03\\P(C \cup M)=4.6\%

The probability that a randomly selected can has contamination or a mixing error is 4.6%.

One number is times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number. If the sum of the three numbers
icang [17]

When a number is 3 times a first number. A third number is 100 more than the first number and the sum of the three numbers is 450, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.

<h3>How to calculate the numbers?</h3>

Let the first number = x

Second number = 3x

Third number = x + 100

Sum = 450

The numbers will be:

x + 3x + x + 100 = 450

5x + 100 = 450

5x = 450 - 100

5x = 350

Divide

x = 350 / 5

x = 70

First number = 70

Second number = 3x = 3 × 70 = 210

Third number = x + 100 = 70 + 100 = 170

Therefore, the numbers are 70, 170 and 210.
