Answer:

y=16x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the two points:

(1,17) and (2,33).

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (1,17), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=1 and y1=17.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (2,33), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=2 and y2=33.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=  

33 - 17/  2 - 1

or...

m=  16/ 1

or...

m=16

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=16x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(1,17). When x of the line is 1, y of the line must be 17.

(2,33). When x of the line is 2, y of the line must be 33.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=16x+b. b is what we want, the 16 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 (1,17) and (2,33).

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:

(1,17). y=mx+b or 17=16 × 1+b, or solving for b: b=17-(16)(1). b=1.

(2,33). y=mx+b or 33=16 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=33-(16)(2). b=1.

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

(1,17) and (2,33)  is   y=16x+1

Explain The probability of tossing a prime number when you toss the cube with numbers one through six
asambeis [7]
Probability is  (desired outcomes)/(total possible outcomes)

ok, you must make a choice
1. if you believe that 1 is prime (which I don't) go to AAAAAAAAAAA
2. if you believe that 1 is NOT prime, go to BBBBBBBBBBB


AAAAAAAAAAAA
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
1,2,3,5
desired outcomes=4
total possible =6
4/6=2/3


BBBBBBBBB
prime numbers from 1 to 6 are
2,3,5
3 desired outcomes
6 total possible

3/6=1/2


if you belive that 1 is prime, then 2/3 is probability
if you believe that 1 is NOT prime then 1/2 is probability

Try to estimate the probability you'd turn on the radio and hear a song you were thinking about. In other words, estimate the pr
Black_prince [1.1K]

Probabilities are used to determine the likelihood of events

The value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056

<h3>How to estimate the probability</h3>

To calculate the probability, we make use of the following representations:

  • Event A represents the likelihood of thinking of a song
  • Event B represents the likelihood of turning on the radio and hearing the song

So, we have:

P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = P(A) * P(B)

Assume that:

P(A) = 0.12 and P(B) = 0.47

So, we have:

P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.12* 0.47

Evaluate the product

P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.0564

Approximate

P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) = 0.056

Hence, the value of the probability P(thinking of a song)P(turn on the radio and hear the song) is 0.056
