Step-by-step explanation:

the general slope intercept form is

y = ax + b

a is the slope, b is the y-intercept (when x=0).

the slope is the ratio y/x indicating how much y changes, when x changes for a certain amount of units when going from one point to another.

going from (7, 2) to (2, 12) :

x changes by -5 (from 7 to 2), y changes by +10 (from 2 to 12).

so, the slope is 10/-5 = -2

therefore, we have already

y = -2x + b

we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points as x and y. e.g. (7, 2)

2 = -2×7 + b = -14 + b

16 = b

so, the full line equation is

y = -2x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The Probability distribution is the function which describes the likelihood of possible values assuming a random variable. The cost of flowers for a wedding is $698. The 95% of all samples of size is 40 and the confidence interval will be mean cost of flowers at wedding. There is confidence that mean cost of wedding flowers is between $701 to $767.

Write the equation of a circle with the following pints in the picture using the completing the square method. Thanks

pantera1 [17]

So hmm notice the picture below

you have the center, and a point on the circle... all you need is the radius

$\bf \textit{distance between 2 points}\\ \quad \\
\begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 1}}\quad ,&{{ -2}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 3}}\quad ,&{{ -4}})
\end{array}\qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{({{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}})^2 + ({{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}})^2}\leftarrow r$

then use that radius in the circle's equation

$\bf (x-{{ h}})^2+(y-{{ k}})^2={{ r}}^2
\qquad center\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\qquad
radius={{ r}}$
