Answer:

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is in the form of y=mx+b

This is where m is the slope, and b is the y intercept.

This said, the slope of the equation is 3/4.

I will attach an image of the graph. I put the equation in a graphing calculator.

If you need to graph by hand, first plot the y intercept, (0,2) and then use the slope to find more points. Then, connenct the points with a ruler.

The image you attached is not the graph of y=3/4x+2, it is the graph of y=5.

It's slope is equal to 0.

The graph of the function showing the path of a soccer ball thrown by a goalie in a video game, f(x) = –0.05x2 + 2.5x + 5.2, is

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

$f(x)=-0.05x^2+2.5x+5.2$

Where f(x) is height of the ball and x is the distance.

It is a polynomial function with degree 2. All polynomial functions are defined for all real numbers, therefore the mathematical domain of the function is all real numbers.

$-\infty$

Factorize the given function.

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-50x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x^2-52x+2x-104)$

$f(x)=-0.05(x(x-52)+2(x-52))$

$f(x) = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Put f(x)=0 to find the x intercepts.

$0 = -0.05 (x - 52) (x + 2)$

Equate each factor equal to 0.

$x=52,-2$

Therefore at x=52 and -2, the graph of f(x) intersects x-axis. Before x=-2 and after x=52 the values of f(x) is negative. Height cannot be negative, therefore reasonable domain is lie between -2 to 52.

Distance cannot be negative, therefore the reasonable domain must be positive.

$0\leq x\leq 52$

Therefore the reasonable domain is $0\leq x\leq 52$ and option 4 is correct.

Modern medical practice tells us not to encourage babies to become too fat. Is there a positive correlation between the weight x

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

a) Figure attached

b) $y=1.31 x +98.57$

c) The correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

d) $y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Draw a scatter diagram for the data.

See the figure attached

(b) Find x, y, b, and the equation of the least-squares line. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) x =__ y =__ b =__ y =__ + __x

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=6576-\frac{300^2}{14}=147.429$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=38186-\frac{300*1773}{14}=193.143$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{193.143}{147.429}=1.31$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{300}{14}=21.429$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{1773}{14}=126.643$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=126.643-(1.31*21.429)=98.571$

So the line would be given by:

$y=1.31 x +98.57$

(c) Find the sample correlation coefficient r and the coefficient of determination r?2. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

n=14 $\sum x = 300, \sum y = 1773, \sum xy=38186, \sum x^2 =6576, \sum y^2 =225649$

And in order to calculate the correlation coefficient we can use this formula:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{14(38186)-(300)(1773)}{\sqrt{[14(6576) -(300)^2][14(225649) -(1773)^2]}}=0.9534$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =0.47719

What percentage of variation in y is explained by the least-squares model? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $0.47719^2 =0.2277$ , so then the % of variation explaines is 22.8%.

(d) If a female baby weighs 21 pounds at 1 year, what do you predict she will weigh at 30 years of age? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) ___ lb

So we can replace in the linear model like this:

$y=1.31 x +98.57=1.31*21 + 98.57 =126.08$

Which rules has a scale factor of 5 and shifted up and to the left?

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

185 37 = 5 1; the scale factor is 5: 1. So every other linear measure is multiplied times 5. If we have the big right triangle and want to scale it down to make the smaller one, we write this: 37 185 = 1 5
