Can you help me in this question

The slope of a line is 1, and the y-intercept is -1. What is the equation of the line written in slope-intercept form?

Scilla [17]

The slope-intercept form is:
y = mx + b
where m = slope, and b = y-intercept.
You need a slope of 1, so m = 1.
You need a y-intercept of -1, so b = -1.
Replace m with 1 and b with -1 in the slope intercept form to get

y = 1x + (-1)

which simplifies to

y = x - 1

when nancy started middle school, she was 60 inches tall. when she started high school, she was 66 inches tall. what was the per

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The percent change in Nancy height is 10%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : when Nancy started middle school, she was 60 inches tall. when she started high school, she was 66 inches tall.

We have to find the percent change in her height.

Percentage change is given by the ratio of the difference in old value and new value to the old value times 100

Mathematically written as

$Percentage\ change =\frac{new\ value-old\ value}{Old\ value}\times 100$

For the given data,

Old value = 60 inches

New value = 66 inches

Thus, the Percentage change is given as,

$Percentage\ change =\frac{66-60}{60}\times 100$

Simlify, we have,

$Percentage\ change =\frac{6}{60}\times 100$

Thus, The percent change in her height is 10%

Answer:

All events are independent

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the table

$\begin{array}{cccc}&\text{Chocolate}&\text{Vanilla}&\text{Total}\\\text{Adults}&0.21&0.39&0.60\\\text{Children}&0.14&0.26&0.40\\\text{Total}&0.35&0.65&1.00\end{array}$

Two events A and B are independent when

$Pr(A\cap B)=Pr(A)\cdot Pr(B)$

a) A="Chocolate"

B="Adults"

A and B="Chocolate and Adults"

$Pr(A)=0.35\\ \\Pr(B)=0.60\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.21$

Since $0.35\cdot 0.60=0.21$ events are independent

b) A="Children"

B="Chocolate"

A and B="Children and Chocolate"

$Pr(A)=0.40\\ \\Pr(B)=0.35\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.14$

Since $0.40\cdot 0.35=0.14$ events are independent

c) A="Vanilla"

B="Children"

A and B="Vanilla and Children"

$Pr(A)=0.65\\ \\Pr(B)=0.40\\ \\Pr(A\cap B)=0.26$

Since $0.65\cdot 0.40=0.26$ events are independent

Which line contains the point (1,-3)

Rzqust [24]

There are infinitely many lines that have the point (1,-3).

A line can be expressed as:

y=mx+b, where m=slope and b=y-intercept..

Our only restriction is that it passes through (1,-3) so

-3=1m+b

So as long as the sum of the slope and the y-intercept is equal to -3, that is one of the infinite number of lines that passes through (1, -3)

So we could also say b=-3-m then our infinite lines are:

y=mx-3-m, now any real value of m creates a specific line that passes through the point. ie the first few are

y=x-4, y=2x-5, y=3x-6 or even y=x√2-3-√2
