Answer:

Percentage error in the student measurement = 2%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error = (change in length) / actual length × 100

Approximate length =294 feet

Actual length = 300 feet

Percentage error = (change in length) / actual length × 100

= (300 feet - 294 feet) / 300 feet × 100

= 6/300 × 100

= 0.02 × 100

= 2%

Percentage error in the student measurement = 2%

2. Graph the following equation: y = - 1/2 x + 4
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (-1/2)x + 4 is the equation of a straight line with y-intercept (0, 4) and slope -1/2.

To graph this, first plot the y-intercept (0, 4).

Recall that slope m = rise / run, and notice that the slope in this particular case is -1/2 = rise / run, or rise = -1 and run = 2.

Starting with your pencil point on (0, 4), move the point 2 units to the right (run = 2), arriving at (2, 4).  Next, move your pencil point 1 unit down, to (2, 3).

Draw a straight line through (0, 4) and (2, 3).

Answer:

y = 2x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Reading</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>graph</u><u>!</u></h3>
  • The line shown in the figure cuts the y-axis 2 units above the origin, I.e.,

the point (0, 2)

  • The line also meets the x-axis two units before the origin, I.e.,

the point (-1, 0)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Intercepts</u><u>:</u></h3>

<em>When a line </em><em>meets</em><em> </em><em>both</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>axes</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>x-axis</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>y-axis</em><em>)</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>forms</em><em> </em>intercepts.

There are two types of intercepts:

  • x-intercept (<em>when</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em><em>meets</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>x-axis</em><em>)</em>
  • y-intercept (<em>when</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>line</em><em> </em><em>meets</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>y-axis</em><em>)</em>

Each of their length is equal to their distance from the Origin(0, 0)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Equation of a line (intercept form):</u></h3>

If the x-intercept is denoted by "a" and y-intercept by "b", the equation if such a line is given by:

\boxed{ \mathsf{ \frac{x}{a}  +  \frac{y}{b} = 1 }}

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<h3><u>Equation</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>line</u><u> </u><u>in</u><u> </u><u>question</u><u>:</u></h3>
  • x-intercept (a) = -1
  • y-intercept (b) = 2

\implies \mathsf{ \frac{x}{( - 1)} +  \frac{y}{2}  = 1 }

<em>The</em><em> </em><em>sign</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>denominator</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>taken</em><em> </em><em>by</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>numerator</em><em>:</em>

\implies \mathsf{  - \frac{x}{1} +  \frac{y}{2}  = 1 }

<em>Taking</em><em> </em><em>LCM</em><em>:</em>

\implies \mathsf{  \frac{ - 2x + y}{ 2}   = 1 }

<em>Cross</em><em> </em><em>multiplying</em><em>:</em>

\implies \mathsf{  -  2x + y = 2 }

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

<em>Isolating</em><em> </em><em>y</em><em>:</em>

<em>\implies \mathsf{  \underline{  y = 2 + 2x }}</em>

That's the equation of the given line!
