Step-by-step explanation:

a. Substituting (0,b) into the point-slope form, we get y = mx + b. Plug in 0 to the x1 value and plug in b into the y1 value. Add b to both sides and you should get y = mx+b.

b. Slope-intercept shows how to get specific x or y values at a point if three of the four variables (y, m, x, or b) are known. Point slope form is used mainly when finding the slope from two distinct points. (Later, you'll learn it's importance in the definition of a derivative :).)

c. y = mx + b. Refer to a.

What is the rate of change for a linear function that passes through the points (8, -10) and (-6, 14)

Anna71 [15]

Answer: $m=-1.714$

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

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

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

$y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6$

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

$m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}$

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

$m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714$

Does second-hand smoke increase the risk of a low birthweight? A baby is considered have low birthweight if he/she weighs less t

marishachu [46]

Answer:

Option 2) Null hypothesis: p = 0.078 , Alternate hypothesis: p > 0.078

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

According to the National Center of Health Statistics, about 7.8% of all babies born in the U.S. are categorized as low birth weight.

Sample size, n = 1200

p = 7.8% = 0.078

We have to carry a hypothesis test whether national percentage is higher than 7.8% or not.

Thus, we can design the null and the alternate hypothesis

$H_{0}: p = 0.078\H_A: p > 0.078$

Thus, the correct answer is:

Option 2) Null hypothesis: p = 0.078 , Alternate hypothesis: p > 0.078

Math question help me

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

3 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

on the left side there is 3 circles and every circle is 3 grams, so there is 9 grams plus 6 squares for 2 grams its 12 . 9+12 =21 and two triangles with x mass

on the right side there is 2 circles , 2×3 = 6, and 3 squares, 3×2 = 6. 6+6=12 +5x

both sides are equal so we have

21+2x=12+5x

21-12=5x-2x

9=3x

x=3

Helping others makes a person good

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be h cm, then the height of the cuboid is (15 - h) cm.

Volume of the pyramid:

= 1/3 * h * s^2 where s is the length of a side of the square base.

= hs^2/3 cm^3

Volume of the cuboid:

= s^2(15 - h).

So we have:

hs^2/ 3 = 300.......................(1)

s^2(15 - h) = 600..................(2)

From equation (1) :

h s^2 = 900

s^2 = 900/h

Now substitute for s^2 in equation (2) :

(900/h)(15 - h) = 600

Multiply through by h:

900(15 - h) = 600h

13500 - 900h = 600h

1500h = 13500

h = 9 cm (answer). brainliest?
