You are looking for the slope and y intercept to complete the equation of the line.

The equation of a line is in something called slope intercept form. That looks like y = mx + b. m represents the slope (measure of how steep a line is, and in which direction it is going) and b represents the y intercept (y coordinate when x = 0). You need to find the slope and y intercept to complete the equation.

First, find the slope. The formula for slope is: m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) where m is the slope and (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points.

Pick any two points on the graph. I will use (-2, 0) and (0, 4). Now use these values to find the slope.

m = (4-0)/(0+2) = 4/2
m = 2

m = 2 means that for every two units the line goes up on the y axis, it moves one to the right on the x axis. 2 will go in your first box.

Now find the y intercept. The y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis - it is the y coordinate when x = 0. Here when x = 0, y = 4, so your y intercept is at 4. 4 goes into your second box.

The equation is y = 2x + 4

What is the measure of < C

Zepler [3.9K]

Well in a right angle triangle, we know that angle C would be 90 degrees, we can check this by solving for X and seeing if the expression 2x will give us a value of 90 degrees.

So 2x = 90
X = 90/2
X = 45 degrees.

90 = 2x
90 = 2(45)
90 = 90.

Thus since the equation is true, X = 45 degrees, we can also solve for the remaining angles knowing what X is.

A random sample of 100 college students is taken from the student body of a large university Assume that, in fact, a population

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

b) equals 20 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sampling distribution of means refers to the distribution of all the possible sample means, with a certain sample size (in this case, n=100) extracted from the population.

The sampling distribution of the means is equal to the population mean. That does not mean that every sample will result in a mean equal to the population, but that the population of sample means will have an average of 20 hours.

A police helicopter is flying at 150 mph at a constant altitude of 0.5 mile above a straight road. The pilot uses radar to deter

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

a) (see attached picture)

b) d, h, velocity of helicopter, dd/dt

in the direction oposite to the movement of the helicopter.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must start by drawing a diagram that will represent the situation (see attached picture). As you may see, there is a right triangle being formed by the helicopter, the car and the graound. We can use this to build the equation we are going to use to model the problem.
