Write an equation in slope - intercept form for the line that satisfies each set of conditions

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

(1)

Rearrange 3x + 2y = 1 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides

2y = - 3x + 1 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{1}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 15) into the partial equation

15 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 15 - 9 = 6

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6 ← equation of line

(2)

Rearrange x + 2y = 8 into slope- intercept form by subtracting x from both sides

2y = - x + 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 10 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 10 = - 12

y = 2x - 12 ← equation of line

Classify each pair of angles as Complementary, Supplementary or neither.

stellarik [79]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Supplementary

2. complementary

3. neither

4. These two are vertically opposite so neither.

5. Supplementary

6. They add to 90 so they are complementary

7. They add to 180 so they are supplementary.

8. These 2 are equal and vertically opposite. They are neither for this exercise.

9. Complementary: they add to 90.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Confidence Interval</u>

When the population standard deviation $\sigma$ is known, the formula for a confidence interval for a population mean $\bar x$ is:

$\displaystyle \bar x \pm z\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

Where n is the sample size and z is the corresponding z-value from the standard normal distribution for the selected confidence level. The value of z for a 95% confidence interval is z=1.96. The rest of the values are

$\bar x=28.2,\ \sigma=2.7, \ n=10$

Calculating the confidence interval

$\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.96\frac{2.7}{\sqrt{10}}$

$\displaystyle 28.2 \pm 1.6735$

Or, equivalently

$26.5265$
