Write the equation of a line that passes through the points ( 2 , - 5 ) and ( 8 , - 2 )

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)

1) Determine the slope (m)

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where two points that fall on the line are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the given points (2,-5) and (8,-2)

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\=\frac{-2-(-5)}{8-2}\\=\frac{-2+5}{8-2}\\=\frac{3}{6}\\=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]

Plug in one of the given points and solve for b

[tex]-5=\frac{1}{2}(2)+b\\-5=1+b[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides to isolate b

[tex]-5-1=1+b-1\\-6=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -6. Plug this back into [tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x+(-6)\\y=\frac{1}{2}x-6[/tex]

I hope this helps!

For all values of x, f(x)=x-1 and g(x)=2x^2+3. Solve fg(x)=gf(x)

Answers

Answer:

x=3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x) = x-1

g(x) = 2x²+3

Evaluate composite functions:

f(g(x)) = f(2x²+3) = (2x²+3)-1 = 2x²+2

g(f(x)) = g(x-1) = 2(x-1)²+3 = 2(x²-2x+1)+3 = 2x²-4x+2+3 = 2x²-4x+5

Set expressions equal to each other and solve for x:

2x²+2 = 2x²-4x+5

2 = -4x+5

-3 = -4x

3/4 = x

x = 3/4

Therefore, the value of x=3/4 satisfies both composite functions

Ms. Barnsley separates her class into two groups. She gives each student the same 25-question math quiz. Group A uses a calculator, while Group B does not. The table shows the completion times, in minutes, of students in each group.



Which statement is true about the distributions of completion times?

The students in Group A tended to complete the quiz in less time.
The median of Group A is greater than the median of Group B.
The means of both groups are about the same.
The standard deviation of Group B is less than the standard deviation of Group A.

Answers

Answer:

The median of Group A is greater than the median of Group B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccccccc}{Group\ A} & 4.5 & 4.8 & 4.6 & 5.0 & 4.8 & 4.4 & 4.7 & 5.2 & 3.9 \ \\ {Group\ B} & 5.5 & 4.9 & 4.0 & 4.2 & 4.8 & 4.1 & 3.5 & 4.6 & 4.3 \ \end{array}[/tex]

Required

Which of the options is true

(a) Group A complete in less time

To do this, we calculate the average of both using:

[tex]\bar x = \frac{\sum x}{n}[/tex]

Where

[tex]n = 9[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\bar x_A = \frac{4.5 + 4.8 + 4.6 + 5.0 + 4.8 + 4.4 + 4.7 + 5.2 + 3.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_A = \frac{41.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_A = 4.66[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =\frac{5.5 + 4.9 + 4.0 + 4.2 + 4.8 + 4.1 + 3.5 + 4.6 + 4.3}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =\frac{39.9}{9}[/tex]

[tex]\bar x_B =4.43[/tex]

The average time of Group A is higher than that of B, this means that Group A spend more time, on average.

(b) Group A has a greater median

First, we sort the given data in ascending order

[tex]\begin{array}{cccccccccc}{Group\ A} & 3.9 & 4.4 & 4.5 & 4.6 & 4.7 & 4.8 & 4.8 & 5.0 & 5.2 \ \\ {Group\ B} & 3.5 & 4.0 & 4.1 & 4.2 & 4.3 & 4.6 & 4.8 & 4.9 & 5.5 \ \end{array}[/tex]

The median is then calculated using:

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}th[/tex]

[tex]Median = 5th[/tex]

The median is the fifth item for both groups.

So, we have:

[tex]A =4.7[/tex]

[tex]B =4.3[/tex]

4.7 is greater than 4.3

Hence, (b) is true

Since (b) is true and only one option is correct, then (c) and (d) are incorrect

b

C. y = -500x + 8,000
D. y = 500x - 8,000
PLEASE HELP ME :)

Answers

Answer:

d

Step-by-step explanation:

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

The function for the value of the motorcycle after x years.

y = 8000 - 500x

y = -500x + 8000

Option C is the correct answer.

What is a function?

function is a relationship between inputs where each input is related to exactly one output.

Example:

f(x) = 2x + 1

f(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

f(2) = 2 x 2 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 5

The outputs of the functions are 3 and 5

The inputs of the function are 1 and 2.

We have,

A new motorcycle has a value of $8,000.

Every year its value decreases by $500.

Now,

y = amount of the motorcycle

x = number of years

The function for the value of the motorcycle after x years.

y = 8000 - 500x

y = -500x + 8000

Thus,

The function for the value of the motorcycle after x years.

y = 8000 - 500x

y = -500x + 8000

Option C is the correct answer.

Can somebody help me with writing a real-life problem on this subject Finding angle measures of a right or isosceles triangle given angles with variables thank you?

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for illustration

(a) Right triangle

The sum of [tex]angles[/tex] in a [tex]right[/tex] [tex]triangle[/tex]is:

[tex]x + y + 90 = 180[/tex]

Subtract 90 from bot sides

[tex]x + y = 90[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 90 - y[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 90 - x[/tex]

This implies that, subtract the known angle from 90 to get the unknown angle.

Assume [tex]x = 40[/tex]

We make use of: [tex]y = 90 - x[/tex]

[tex]y = 90 - 40 = 50[/tex]

(b) Isosceles triangle

The sum of angles in an isosceles triangle is:

[tex]x + y + y = 180[/tex] ---- y appear twice because the base angles are equal

[tex]x + 2y = 180[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = 180 - 2y[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{180 - x}{2}[/tex]

Assume [tex]x = 40[/tex], we make use of:

[tex]y = \frac{180 - x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{180 - 40}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{140}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 70[/tex]

Assume [tex]y = 70[/tex], we make use of:

[tex]x = 180 - 2y[/tex]

[tex]x = 180 - 2 * 70[/tex]

[tex]x = 180 - 140[/tex]

[tex]x = 40[/tex]

What is the combined area of the two bases of the following cylinder
The diameter is 12cm and the height is 15cm
A. 452.16cm^2
B. 904.32cm^2
C. 113.04cm^2
D. 226.08cm^2

Answers

D. 226.08cm^2

Since we are finding the combined area of the two bases of the cylinder, we are adding the area of the first base with the second base. The formula for the base of a cylinder is pi x r^2, since it is a circle. Since the bases are the same, we can rewrite this as 2pi x r^2.

Since the diameter is 12cm and r = 1/2 diameter, r = 6cm.

Thus, A = 2(3.1415)(6)^2 = 226.08cm^2
