Answer:

y = -1x + 6 or y = -x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's identify what slope-intercept form is.

y = mx + b

m is the slope. b is the y-intercept.

We know the slope is -1, so m = -1. Plug this into our standard equation.

y = -1x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: (2, 4). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

4 = -1(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(2)

4 = -2 + b

Now, add 2 from both sides to isolate b.

6 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -1x + 6

This is your equation.

Check this by plugging in the point again.

y = -1x + 6

4 = -1(2) + 6

4 = -2 + 6

4 = 4

Your equation is correct.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) slope = rise / run

2 coordinates are (-4, 0), (0, 2).

2 - 0 = 2

0 -- 4 = 4

2 / 4 = 1/2 so the slope is 0.5 or ½

2) it crosses the y axis at the average of the origin and 4.

4 + 0 = 4 / 2 = 2 so y intercept is 2.

3) in y= mx + b form

f(x) = ½x + 2, or, f(x) = 0.5x + 2

An educational psychologist wishes to know the mean number of words a third grader can read per minute. She wants to make an est

amid [387]

Answer:

(38.1,88.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Sample mean, $\bar{x}$ = 38.3

Sample size, n = 695

Alpha, α = 0.05

Population standard deviation, σ = 3.6

95% Confidence interval:

$\mu \pm z_{critical}\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Putting the values, we get,

$z_{critical}\text{ at}~\alpha_{0.05} = 1.96$

$38.3 \pm 1.96(\frac{3.6}{\sqrt{695}} ) = 38.3 \pm 0.267 = (38.033,38.567) \approx (38.1,88.6)$

A water tank already contained 24 gallons of water before a pump was switched to fill it. The pump started at 10:00 am and by 10

grigory [225]

Answer:

The equation to represent the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours can be given as:

$W=32T+24$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Water tank initially contained = 24 gallons of water

The pump to fill the tank was switched to fill it.

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank contained 40 gallons of water.

By 1:00 PM the tank contained 120 gallons of water.

To write an equation which will tell the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours

Solution:

Initially, gallons of water in tank = 24

From 10:00 AM to 10:30 AM the tank had 40 gallons of water.

Thus, in half an hour the pump filled = $40-24$ = 16 gallons

Using unitary method:

If in $\frac{1}{2}$ of an hour water filled = 16 gallons

So, in 1 hour the water filled will be = $16\times 2$ = 32 gallons

In 3 hours the water filled will be = $32\times 3$ = 96 gallons

Thus, by 1:00 PM the water in the tank will be = $96+24$ = 120 gallons

This confirms the data given for 1:00 PM.

This shows that the rate at which the pump fills the tank is 32 gallons of water per hour.

The equation to represent the amount of water that the tank contains $(W)$ after the pump was working for $T$ hours can be given as:

$W=32T+24$
