Write an equation of the line that passes through the given points (1 , 1.5) and (2, 3.5)

Mathematics

Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer:

y=2x-0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

typically, the equation of the line is written in slope intercept form, which is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

first, we need to find the slope (m) of the line

the formula for slope calculated from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we have two points: (1,1.5) and (2,3.5) and we can label them

x1=1

y1=1.5

x2=2

y2=3.5

now plug into the formula:

m=(3.5-1.5)/(2-1)

m=2/1

m=2

the slope of the line is 2

here's our equation so far:

y=2x+b

now we need to find b

since the line will pass through the points (1, 1.5) and (2, 3.5), we can plug either one of them into the equation to solve for

Let's use (1, 1.5)

substitute 1.5 as y and 1 as x

1.5=2(1)+b

1.5=2+b

subtract 2 from both sides

-0.5=b

therefore, our equation is:

y=2x-0.5

hope this helps!

Express the number in scientific notation. 780,000,000
Aloiza [94]
Scientific notation implies that all the zeros are taken away and replaced with a 10 raised to whatever appropriate power would be necessary to make the number in scientific notation equal to the original number.

In the number 780,000,000, we can see that there are 7 zeros, but the number before the zeros has two digits, so we need to tuck the decimal point in there, because the number has to be between 1 and 10 for math reasons.

7.8 ... but what do we raise it to? We know it has to be 10, but to what power? Well, we just count how many places to the left the decimal point has traveled. From the original number, the decimal point shifted 8 places to the left, so that is the number that we will raise the 10 to.

The final number looks like this:

7.8 * 10^8

780,000,000 in scientific notation is <span>7.8 * 10^8

SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

6.0520

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Mean = 5.85

Standard deviation = 0.24

Let N denote the 80th percentile.

P(X < N) = 0.8

P(Z < \dfrac{(N - 5.85)}{0.24}) = 0.8

Using the Excel formula: = NORM.INV(0.8,5.85,0.24)

The 80th percentile for the diameters of mandarin oranges:

= 6.0520 (to 4 decimal place)
