find the equation of straight line passing through each of the following pairs of points
a) (2,4) and (7,2)​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The equation of the line is [tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{24}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

In which m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Slope:

Having two points, the slope is given by the change in y divided by the change in x. Points (2,4) and (7,2)​, so:

Change in y: 2 - 4 = -2

Change in x: 7 - 2 = 5

Slope: [tex]m = \frac{-2}{5} = -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + b[/tex]

(2,4)

This means that when [tex]x = 2, y = 4[/tex]. So

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + b[/tex]

[tex]4 = -\frac{2}{5}(2) + b[/tex]

[tex]b = 4 + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{20}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{24}{5}[/tex]

The equation of the line is [tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{24}{5}[/tex]

the same rate?

Answers

Answer:

1.45 h

Step-by-step explanation:

common factor of 8 and 14 is 2.

every 2km dele takes 15 minutes.

we know this because 15 minutes is 1/4 of an hour and 2km is 1/4 of 8km

14km/2km = 7

7*15 minutes = 1.45 hours

Answer:

1.75 hours/ 1hr 45 min

Step-by-step explanation:

1hr = 8 Km

?? = 14 Km

= (14km × 1hr)/ ( 8km)

= 1.75hours

Find the length of AB.

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  21.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider rectangle PQRS. Its area is ...

  A = LW

  90 cm² = PQ×QR = PQ×(20 cm)

  (90 cm²)/(20 cm) = PQ = 4.5 cm . . . . . . BC has this value, too

__

Consider the perimeter of ABCD. It is given by ...

  P = 2(L +W)

  52 cm = 2(AB +BC) . . . . substitute known value for P

  26 cm = AB +4.5 cm . . . . use known value for BC, divide by 2

  21.5 cm = AB

Answer:

36 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, I first construct a line. (shown in yellow in the first photo)

I then find the area of the top rectangle. (6 cm * 4 cm = 24 cm squared.)

Next, I find the area of the lower rectangle. But...to do that I have to find the length of the line that I constructed. To do this, I do  6cm-2cm=4cm.

Then I can find the area of the lower rectangle. (4cm*3cm=12cm squared.)

add up the area of both of the rectangles and.........12+24=36 cm squared

Answer:

The x-intercept is the value of the variable x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

In the table we have

(-1, 0)(−1,0) is a x-intercept, because

For x=-1x=−1 the value of the function is equal to zero

(-6, 0)(−6,0) is a x-intercept, because

For x=-6x=−6 the value of the function is equal to zero

therefore

the answer is

the continuous function in the table has two x-intercepts

(-1, 0)(−1,0)

(-6, 0)(−6,0)

A minority representation group accuses a major bank of racial discrimination in its recent hires for financial analysts. Exactly 16% of all applications were from minority members, and exactly 15% of the 2100 open positions were filled by members of the minority.

Required:
a. Find the mean of p, where p is the proportion of minority member applications in a random sample of 2100 that is drawn from all applications.
b. Find the standard deviation of p.

Answers

Answer:

a) The mean is of [tex]\mu = 0.16[/tex]

b) The standard deviation is of [tex]s = 0.008[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

For a proportion p in a sample of size n, the sampling distribution of the sample proportion will be approximately normal with mean [tex]\mu = p[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

Question a:

Exactly 16% of all applications were from minority members

This means [tex]p = 0.16[/tex], and thus, the mean is of [tex]\mu = p = 0.16[/tex]

b. Find the standard deviation of p.

2100 open positions, thus [tex]n = 2100[/tex].

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}[/tex]

[tex]s = \sqrt{\frac{0.16*0.84}{2100}}[/tex]

[tex]s = 0.008[/tex]

The standard deviation is of [tex]s = 0.008[/tex]

Price: 32.80
Sales Tax rate: 8.5%

Answers

Answer:

The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the new price you could find 8.5% of 32.80 then add it to 32.80. That would give you the new price, or you could simply find 108.5% of 32.80. That one has less steps, so Im going to go with that.

What is 108.5% of 32.80?

Let's set up an equation then solve.

108.5% · 32.80 = X

1.085 · 32.80 = 35.588

The new price of this thing you're buying is about $35.58.

[/tex]

3 1/5 must first converted into 16/5
Then, we can change the division into multiplication by changing 8/20 into it’s reciprocal, 20/8.
This gives us 16/5 * 20/8.
We can then simplify this to 2/1 * 4/1
You then multiply the two fractions to get 8/1 which is equivalent to 8.

A researcher suspects that people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. She prepares a questionnaire that measures depression and that also asks many personal questions about childhood experiences. Think about how an appropriate description of the purpose of this research would be written (to be read by subjects) in order to obtain their informed consent. You must balance the conflicting goals of not deceiving the subjects about what the questionnaire will tell about them and not biasing the sample by scaring off people with painful childhood experiences.Based on this criteria, which of the statements is an appropriate description of the purpose of the research, that would be read by subjects in order to obtain their informed consent? Pay close attention to the wording of each description. a. The purpose of this research is to study whether people who are abused as children tend to be more prone to severe depression as young adults. b. The purpose of this research is to study whether childhood abuse tends to cause severe depression in young adults. c. The purpose of this research is to study whether severe depression is a result of people having bad experiences in childhood. d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression. e. The purpose of this research is to study different experiences people have had in childhood.

Answers

Answer:

d. The purpose of this research is to study how childhood experiences are related to risk of depression.

Step-by-step explanation:

This answer satisfies the requirements of the question as it uses mild language that will not scare off respondents while also maintaining transparency and truthfulness. This can be seen in wordings such as;

a. Childhood experiences: Instead of explicitly using the term child-hood abuse which can scare off respondents, this phrase uses a milder form of the word that is also not dishonest in itself.

b. Risk of depression: Instead of using heavy terms such as "severe depression," or shady terms like "bad expreciences," the phrase, "risk of depression," helps the subjects to honestly identify what the question is about in a mild way.
