Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

(–12, –9). He writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

For this case we have the following equation:
 7x - 10y = 3

 From here, we must substitute ordered pairs of the form:
 (x, y)
 If the ordered pair satisfies the equation, then it belongs to the line.
 We have then:

 For (8, 5):
 
We substitute the following values:
 x = 8

y = 5

7 (8) - 10 (5) = 3

56 - 50 = 3

6 = 3
 We observe that the equation is not satisfied and therefore, this point does not belong to the line.
 Since one of the points does not belong to the line, then the equation is not a good model.

 Answer:
 
It is not a good model. One of the points does not belong to the line.

no.....because when u sub in ur points (8,5) does not work and (-12,-9) does not work. He should have used this : 7x - 10y = 6

Sample Response: If the model is good, then both points will check in the equation. Substituting 8 for x and 5 for y in the equation results in 56 – 50 = 3, which is not true. Therefore, the model is not good. Using (–12, –9) as a check results in –84 + 90 = 3. The constant value in the equation should be 6, not 3. In slope-intercept form, the y-intercept should be –3/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

what is 5 % of 14,000- 700( 0.05 times 14,000)

700 times 14 is 9,800

A basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws. The notation for conditional probability
taurus [48]

Answer:

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here given that a basketball player that shoots 80% from the free throw line attempts two free throws.

If x is the no of shoots he makes (say) then we find that each throw is independent of the other.

In other words, because he made successful first attempt, his chances for second attempt will not change

Prob for success in each attempt remains the same as 0.80

Hence I throw is independent of II throw.

When A and B are independent,then we have

P(A/B) = P(A)

Hence answer is

P(made 2nd attempt|made 1st attempt)=P(made 2nd attempt)

How to decompose a rectangle into two or three smaller rectangles to demonstrate the distributive property?
koban [17]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The distibutive property states that for all real numbers a, b and c

(a+b)c=ac+bc

Draw a rectangle with length of (a+b) units and width of c units. The area of this rectangle is

(a+b)c\ un^2.

Divide this rectangle into two rectangles: first rectangle with the length of a units and the width of c units and the second rectangle with the length of b units and the width of c units. The area of these rectangles are

a\cdot c\ \text{and}\ b\cdot c

These two rectangles together form initial rectangle, so the sum of the area of two smaller rectangles is the area of the bigger rectangle.
