Use technology to find the line of best fit for the following data.

Mathematics
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
3 0

Given:

The data points are:

(1, 0), (2, 3), (3,1), (4,4), (5,5)

To find:

The equation of best fit line in the form of y=mx+b and then find the value of b.

Solution:

The general form of best fit line is:

y=mx+b              ...(i)

Where, m is the slope of best fit line and b is the y-intercept of the line.

Using the graphing calculator, we get the equation for the best fit line and the equation is

y=1.1x-0.7          ...(ii)

On comparing (i) and (ii), we get

b=-0.7

Therefore, the value of b is equal to -0.7.

Kari is flying a kite. She releases 50 feet of string. What is the approximate difference in the height of the kite when the str
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The string of a kite forms a right angle triangle with the ground. The length of the string represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle. The height of the kite represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the height of the kite, we would apply the sine trigonometric ratio which is expressed as

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse.

1) if the kite makes an angle of 25° with the ground, then the height, h would be

Sin 25 = h/50

h = 50Sin25 = 50 × 0.4226

h = 21.1 feet

2) if the kite makes an angle of 45° with the ground, then the height, h would be

Sin 45 = h/50

h = 50Sin45 = 50 × 0.7071

h = 35.4 feet

The approximate difference in the height of the kite is

35.4 - 21.1 = 14.3 feet

The equation of a line is y=-2x+1. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the first line and passes through (2,2)?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The equation in slope-intercept form is y=-2x+6.

The equation in standard form is 2x+y=6.

The equation in point-slope form is y-2=-2(x-2).

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Parallel lines will have the same slope and different y-intercept.

Anyways the slope of y=-2x+1 is -2.

So the equation of our line we are looking for is -2.

So we know our equation is in the form y=-2x+b.

We must inf b using y=-2x+b with (x,y)=(2,2).

y=-2x  +b  with (x,y)=(2,2)

2=-2(2)+b

2=-4+b

Add 4 on both sides:

2+4=b

Simplify:

6=b

The equation is y=-2x+6.

Now it didn't say what form it wanted.

There are some forms I can give you like standard and point-slope form.

There is also general form but it is not too much different from standard form.

Standard form is ax+by=c where a,b, and c are integers if possible.

Point-slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) where (x1,y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope.

So let's go for standard form (ax+by=c) first:

y=-2x+6

add 2x on both sides:

2x+y=6

This is standard form because it is in the form

ax+by=c.

Ok we know point (2,2) is on our line and we also know we have slope,m, is -2.

Point-slope form is

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-2=-2(x-2)

Are these numbers rational or irrational? √10 (square root of 10) √16 (square root of 16) 52% 1.235 1. Rational 2. Irrational pl
77julia77 [94]

Step-by-step explanation:

any rational number can be expressed as a/b, with a and b being integer numbers, and b different to 0.

-7 = -7/1 rational

sqrt(10) irrational (because there is no rational number multiplied by itself that results in 10)

sqrt(16) = sqrt(4×4) = 4 = 4/1 rational

52% = 52/100 rational

1.235 = 1235/1000 rational

Which of the following is a solution to the equation x - 5/7 = -3/7
podryga [215]

Solve the equation:

          5              3
x  –  ——  =  –  ——
          7              7


           5
Add  ——  to both sides, so you get  x  isolated at the left-hand side:
           7

          5          5               3          5
x  –  ——  +  ——  =  –  ——  +  ——
          7           7              7           7

              3          5
x  =  –  ——  +  ——
              7           7


Now, add those fractions at the right-hand side of the equation:

          – 3 + 5
x  =  —————
               7

          2
x  =  ——     <———    this is the answer (first option:  2/7).
          7


I hope this helps. =)
