Describe the process for graphing the equation y =-1/2x- 1

Mathematics
1 answer:
AysviL [449]3 years ago
4 0

the formula is y=mx+b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept form

so the -1 is the y-intercept form. so you need to start at that point on the y axis. then the slope which is -1/2 comes into play. in my school we use rise/run. so from the point you marked at -1 you will go down 1 and to the right 2 points then where you stop is your next point (mark it) keep doing that. also go up the other way from the -1 point. go up 1 and to the left 2. then connect all of your points with a line. I hope this helped.

The following table lists the masses, in grams, of the nine planets (including dwarf planet Pluto). Use the data to choose the c
Marrrta [24]

The ratio between the masses of Jupiter and Venus is

\dfrac{1.989\cdot 10^{30}}{4.869\cdot 10^{27}}

We can separate the coefficient and the powers of ten:

\dfrac{1.989\cdot 10^{30}}{4.869\cdot 10^{27}}=\dfrac{1.989}{4.869}\cdot \dfrac{10^{30}}{10^{27}}

Use the exponent rule

\dfrac{a^b}{a^c}=a^{b-c}

to simplify the powers of 10:

\dfrac{10^{30}}{10^{27}}=10^3

So, the ratio is

\dfrac{1.989}{4.869}\cdot 10^3\approx 0.4\cdot 10^3=400

So, Jupiter has a mass that is approximately 400 times greater than Venus's.

The Acme Company manufactures widgets. The distribution of widget weights is bell-shaped. The widget weights have a mean of 60 o
krok68 [10]

Answer:

a) 99.7% of the widget weights lie between 45 and 75 ounces

b) 97.2% of the widget weights lie between 50 and 75 ounces

c) 84% of the widget weights lie above 55

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that:

50% of the values of a measure is above the mean, and the other 50% is below the mean.

99.7% of the values of a measure lie between 3 standard deviations of the mean.

95% of the values of a measure lie between 2 standard deviations of the mean.

68% of the values of a measure lie between 1 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that: The widget weights have a mean of 60 ounces and a standard deviation of 5 ounces.

(a) 99.7% of the widget weights lie between

3 standard deviations of the mean, so:

60 - 3*5 = 60 + 3*5 = 45 and 75 ounces

(b) What percentage of the widget weights lie between 50 and 75 ounces?

We have to find the percentage that are below 75 and subtract by the percentage that are below 50. So

75 is 3 standard deviations above the mean. So 99.7% of the measures are below 75.

50 is 2 standard deviations below the mean. So only 5% of the measures that are below the mean are below 50.

So

99.7% - (50%)5% = 99.7% - 2.5% = 97.2%

(c) What percentage of the widget weights lie above 55?

55 is one standard deviation below the mean.

50% of the widget weights are above the mean.

Of the 50% that is below, 68% lie between one standard deviation(So from 55 to 60)

So

50% + 68%(50%) = 84%
