A linear function is an algebraic equation in which each term is either a constant or the product of a constant and (the first power of) a single variable. For example, a common equation,
y
=
m
x
+
b
, (namely the slope-intercept form, which we will learn more about later) is a linear function because it meets both criteria with
x
and
y
as variables and
m
and
b
as constants. It is linear: the exponent of the
x
term is a one (first power), and it follows the definition of a function: for each input (
x
) there is exactly one output (
y
). Also, its graph is a straight line.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
for dot plot A, the mean is 90 to the medium becuase it has the most dots out of them all.
Answer:
(a) (6, 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The system of equations has one of them in y= form, so it lends itself to solution by substitution.
__
Using the equation for y to substitute into the first equation, we have ...
2x -y = 10
2x -(-1/2x +5) = 10 . . . . . substitute for y
2x +1/2x -5 = 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5/2x = 15 . . . . . . . . . add 5, collect terms
x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 2/5
Using the equation for y, we have ...
y = -1/2(6) +5 = -3 +5
y = 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, 2).
Answer:
a. True
Step-by-step explanation:
By ∝= 5% we mean that there are about 5 chances in 100 of incorrectly rejecting a true null hypothesis. To put it in another way , we say that we are 95% confident in making the correct decision.
In the given question the null hypothesis is
H0: u ≤ 1 hour and Ha: u > 1 hour
So there is a 5% chance that the erroneous conclusion will be made that students spend on average more than 1 hour per assignment.
The given statement is true.
How do we graph anything? Make a table of values for x and y and then plot each point. After plotting each point on the xy-plane, connect each point with a straight line or curve (depending on the function).
In this case, we must first isolate y.
y = (-4/3)x + 8y
y - 8y = (-4/3)x
-7y = (-4/3)x
y = (-4/3)x ÷ (-7)
y = (4/21)x
Now follow the steps above.
