Y=mx+b is The equation of any straight line, called a linear equation, can be written as: y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. The y-intercept of this line is the value of y at the point where the line crosses the y axis.

y = mx + b is what's called the slope formula.

It's used for when you want to know what the formula for a line is.

y is just the y value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace y with the y value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, y should always be a variable.

m is the slope.

To find the slope, you have to use the point-slope formula. When given two points, you put them into this equation: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

When you're finished with your equation, m should be a number.

x is just the x value.

Sometimes, a question will ask for you to find a line with some slope and going through some point. In this case, you would replace x with the x value of that point.

However, when you're finished with your equation, x should always be a variable.

b is the y-intercept, or when x = 0.

This is usually what you'll need to find in y = mx + b. What will likely happen is you'll given everything but b. All you need to do then is plug in the values you're given into this equation.

When you're finished with your equation, b should be a number.

If you have any questions, let me know! I'm happy to edit my response with more information if need be.

Scores on the Wechsler intelligence quotient (IQ) test for adults have a normal probability distribution with a mean score of 10
bixtya [17]

Answer:

Probability = 0.1587

Step-by-step explanation:

The provided information is:

Let X be the scores of the IQ test for adults that is normally distributed with mean (\mu) = 100 and standard deviation (\sigma) = 15.

Also, US military has minimum IQ score of 85.

Thus, the probability that randomly selected adult does not meet US military enlistment standards is: P(X

The probability can also be written as:

P(X < x) =P(Z

Thus,

P(X

Using the Normal probability table probability of Z = -1 is 0.1587

Thus, the required probability is 0.1587

The measure of the complement of an angle is 14 less than half the measure of its supplement. Find the angle.
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

The angle is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the system below (were "A"is the angle):  

A   +  [(x/2)-14] = 90       (complement)

A   +   x   = 180                 (suplement)

We can isolate "X=180 - A"  and apply this in the first equation. This way we are able to have only one variable, and w'll see that A=28.

How do you find the average rate of change in calculus?
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The <em>average</em> rate of change doesn't require calculus.
It's just
           
         (amount of change during some time) / (amount of time for the change) .

You need calculus when you want the <em>instantaneous</em> rate of change . . .
that's the rate of change at a single point in time.
