Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line is y = mx + b
Where:
- m is the slope
- b is the y-intercept
First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line.
Let's call the first point you gave, (-3,1), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1.
Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,-1), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2.
Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:
So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:
Now, what about b, the y-intercept?
To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:
- (-3,1). When x of the line is -3, y of the line must be 1.
- (2,-1). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be -1.
Now, look at our line's equation so far: .
is what we want, the -
is already set and x and y are just two 'free variables' sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (-3,1) and (2,-1).
So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!
You can use either (x,y) point you want. The answer will be the same:
- (-3,1). y = mx + b or
, or solving for b:
.
.
- (2,-1). y = mx + b or
, or solving for b:
.
See! In both cases, we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.
The equation of the line that passes through the points (-3,1) and (2,-1) is
Answer:
0.86
Step-by-step explanation:
The z-score we need to make the comparison is given by
where
= the standard deviation established in the study
n = the sample size
and for the Normal distribution N(0,1) we want to find
<em>P(X > -1.0801) </em>
By using a spreadsheet or the table attached, we find that
P(X > -1.0801) = 0.86
(See picture attached)
