Write a rule to describe the function shown. x y −6 −4 −3 −2 0 0 3 2 y equals start fraction two over three end fraction x y equ

sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

$y=\frac{2}{3} x$ (y equals start fraction two over three end fraction x)

Step-by-step explanation:

Lest's organize the table values of our function first:

x y

-6 -4

-3 -2

0 0

3 2

The simplest kind of of function is a linear function of the form $y=mx+b$ where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept. Let's us check if our function is a linear one finding its equation and checking that all points are in the line.

The first step to find a linear equation is find the slope of the line; to do it, we are using the slope formula:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

where

$m$ is the slope of the line

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

$(x_2,y_2)$ are the coordinates of the second point

We know from our table that the first and second points are (-6, -4) and (-3, -2) respectively, so $x_1=-6$ , $y_1=-4$ , $x_2=-3$ , and $y_2=-2$ .

Replacing values:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$m=\frac{-2-(-4)}{-3-(-6)}$

$m=\frac{-2+4}{-3+6)}$

$m=\frac{2}{3)}$

Now that we have the slope of our line we can use the point slope formula to complete our linear function:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

where

$m$ is the slope

$(x_1,y_1)$ are the coordinates of the first point

Replacing values:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

$y-(-4)=\frac{2}{3)}(x-(-6))$

$y+4=\frac{2}{3)}(x+6)$

$y+4=\frac{2}{3} x+4$

$y=\frac{2}{3} x+4-4$

$y=\frac{2}{3} x$

Now, to check if our function is valid, we can either check if each point satisfies the rule $y=\frac{2}{3} x$ , or we can graph it and check if each lies is in the graph.

Let's check both:

We already know that points (-6, -4) and (-3, -2) satisfy the rule (after all, those were the point we used to came out with the rule in the first place), so we just need to check the points (0, 0) and (3, 2)

- For (0, 0):

$y=\frac{2}{3} x$

$0=\frac{2}{3}(0)$

$0=0$

The point satisfies the rule.

- For (3, 2):

$y=\frac{2}{3} x$

$2=\frac{2}{3} (3)$

$2=2$

The point satisfies the rule.

Since all the points of our table satisfies the rule $y=\frac{2}{3} x$ , we can conclude that the rule describing the function shown is $y=\frac{2}{3} x$ .

1. Suppose you flip a penny 50 times, with 25 tosses landing heads up. What percentage of the tosses would be heads? %

Paul [167]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of 50 is 25, so when it comes to a percent, half of 100% (50) is 50% (25)

58 pts!!!! <br> Write an equation of the line in slope intercept form.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

y= $\frac{-1}{2}$ x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's do the easiest part, finding the y-intercept, which shows up at the end of your slope intercept equation, y=mx+b, where slope is rise over run!

- Simply look for where the coordinate is on the y-intercept, which is at y = 1!

Then, we need to find our rise over run, which is basically counting from point a to point b. To get to the lower coordinate from the top, we go down two (-2), and over 4. Which means we "rose" -2, and "ran" 4! It's -2 because we went DOWN, and positive 4 because we went FORWARD. This gave us 2 over 4, which is the same as 1 over 2!
