Ms. Walker used a coordinate plane to plot her students' scores on a recent quiz. She let x represent the number of correct answ
ers they had on their quiz and y represent the number of points earned. She then plotted the ordered pairs (17, 68), (20, 80), and (24, 96) to represent the data from three students.
What is the slope of the graph in points per question?
What is the slope of the graph in points per question?
1 answer:
Answer:
Slope = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-axis values to represent the number of correct answers.
The y-axis values to represent the number of points earned.
The points on the graph are: (17,68) , (20,80) and (24,96)
The slope(m) of the graph = change in y ÷ change in x
i.e =
= 4
The equation of the straight line graph is;
y=4x

This is adding two vectors, one magnitude 300 direction east, and one magnitude 100 direction 30 degrees northeast.
For the resulting sum we can use the Law of Cosines or just add up the components. Let's try it both ways.
Components first. In the east direction we have
300 + 100 cos 30° = 300 + 100(√3/2) = 386.60 miles per hour
In the north direction we have
0 + 100 sin 30° = 100 (1/2) = 50 miles per hour
So a total speed of
sqrt{386.6^2 + 50^2} = 389.82 miles per hour
Answer: 389.82

OK let's try the Law of Cosines. We have sides 300 and 100 and included angle 150°.
