Y=mx+b first we will find m or the slope.

m=(9.2-7.2)/(6-1)=2/5=0.4 now we have:

y=0.4x+b, using either point we can now solve for b, the "y-intercept", which in this case is the weight at birth :) I'll use point (1, 7.2) so our equation is:

7.2=0.4+b, b=6.8

y=0.4x+6.8

So the weight at birth was 6.8 lb

Answer:

$y = - \frac{2}{3} x + 7$

You get this equation when you plug in the values to find out the y intercept.

Lian needs to solve the quadratic equation: x^2 - 4x - 2 = 0. Which statement about how Lian should solve this equation is true?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

x = 4.45 or x = - 4.45

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps:

Substitute the values,

$4+\sqrt{-4^2-4(1*-2)}$ ÷ 2 × 1

x = 2 ± √6

x = 4.45 or x = - 4.45

good luck, i hope this helps :)

Given: circle k(O), m LM = 164° m WK = 68°, m∠MLK = 65° Find: m∠LMW

Semenov [28]

Let P be a point outside the circle such that triangle LMP has legs coincident with chords MW and LK (i.e. M, W, and P are colinear, and L, K, and P are colinear). By the intersecting secants theorem,

$m\angle LPM=\dfrac{m\widehat{LM}-m\widehat{WK}}2\impliesm\angle LPM=48^\circ$

The angles in any triangle add to 180 degrees in measure, and $\angle MLK\congruent\angle MLP$ and $m\angle LMW=m\angle LMP$ , so that

$m\angle MLK+m\angle LPM+m\angle LMP=180^\circ$

$\implies\boxed{m\angle LMW=67^\circ}$
