Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: (8,5)(-12,-9)slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10y = mx + bslope(m) = 7/10use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5now we sub and find b, the y int5 = 7/10(8) + b5 = 56/10 + b5 - 56/10 = b50/10 - 56/10 = b-3/5 = bso ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard formy = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 1010y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -17x - 10y = 6So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

(8,5)(-12,-9)
slope = (-9 - 5) / (-12 - 8) = -14/-20 = 7/10

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 7/10
use either of ur points.....(8,5)....x = 8 and y = 5
now we sub and find b, the y int
5 = 7/10(8) + b
5 = 56/10 + b
5 - 56/10 = b
50/10 - 56/10 = b
-3/5 = b

so ur equation is : y = 7/10x - 3/5.....now we put it in standard form

y = 7/10x - 3/5...multiply by 10
10y = 7x - 6.....subtract 7x
-7x + 10y = -6....multiply by -1
7x - 10y = 6

So.....7x - 10y = 3.... IS NOT a good model. Because ur points are not a solution to ur equation.

Bess [88]

Answer:

The width of the rectangular prism is 9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the formula of the volume of a bar V=whl we see that w=\frac{V}{hl}=\frac{720}{8\cdot 10} = 9 cm.

he following data represent the times in minutes required for 18 co-workers to commute to work. 48 42 31 29 41 22 38 38 21 39 22
labwork [276]

Answer:

1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data represent the times in minutes required for 18 co-workers to commute to work

48 42 31 29 41 22 38 38 21 39 22 48 22 12 34 32 23 28

Rewrite this data in ascending order

12 21 22 22 22 23 28 29 31 32 34 38 38 39 41 42 48 48    

Now, the stem-and-leaf plot is

\begin{array}{cc}\text{Stem}&\text{Leaf}\\ \\1&2\\2&1,2,2,2,3,8,9\\3&1,2,4,8,8,9\\4&1,2,8,8\end{array}

The second row represents the leaves for the given data points in the range 20 to 29 for this stem-and-leaf plot, so the answer is

1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 8, 9
