What is the slope intercept form of (3,3) (7,-1)

kow [346]

Slope intercept form follows this general equation...
$y=mx+b$
With this information you have posted, all you can do is find slope, your m. To calculate for slope, you need to use this following equation...
$m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$
Then, you pick one of your coordinate pairs to be 1 and the other to be 2. I will choose the first coordinate pair as 1, so...
$m=\frac{-1-3}{7-3} =-1$
You plug in -1 into your slope formula...
$y=-1x+b$
Now, to find your y-intercept, or b, you must plug in one of your coordinate pairs. In that equation, you may plug in the values (3,3), so you'll have...
$3=-1(3)+b$
Just solve for b and you will be done

The average American man consumes 9.8 grams of sodium each day. Suppose that the sodium consumption of American men is normally

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

(a) The distribution of <em>X</em> is <em>N</em> (9.8, 0.8²).

(b) The probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c) The middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> is defined as the amount of sodium consumed.

The random variable <em>X</em> has an average value of, <em>μ</em> = 9.8 grams.

The standard deviation of <em>X</em> is, <em>σ</em> = 0.8 grams.

(a)

It is provided that the sodium consumption of American men is normally distributed.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows a normal distribution with parameters <em>μ</em> = 9.8 grams and <em>σ</em> = 0.8 grams.

Thus, the distribution of <em>X</em> is <em>N</em> (9.8, 0.8²).

(b)

If X ~ N (µ, σ²), then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z ~ N (0, 1).

To compute the probability of Normal distribution it is better to first convert the raw score (<em>X</em>) to <em>z</em>-scores.

Compute the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day as follows:

$P(8.8$

$=P(-1.25$

Thus, the probability that an American consumes between 8.8 and 9.9 grams of sodium per day is 0.4461.

(c)

The probability representing the middle 30% of American men consuming sodium between two weights is:

$P(x_{1}$

Compute the value of <em>z</em> as follows:

$P(-z$

The value of <em>z</em> for P (Z < z) = 0.65 is 0.39.

Compute the value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ as follows:

$-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma}\\-0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8-(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=9.488\\x_{1}\approx9.5$ $z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma}\\0.39=\frac{x_{1}-9.8}{0.8}\\x_{1}=9.8+(0.39\times 0.8)\\x_{1}=10.112\\x_{1}\approx10.1$

Thus, the middle 30% of American men consume between 9.5 grams to 10.1 grams of sodium.

The graph shows the average shoe size for a baby or toddler as a function of age in months. What shoe size would be recommended

mojhsa [17]

Answer: The shoe size would be recommended for a four-month-old baby is equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, according to the given figure,

Here, x represents age of baby (in month) while y represents shoe size.

And for babies , $0$ the shoe size = 0

$3$ the shoe size = 1

$6$ the shoe size = 2

$9$ the shoe size = 3

$12$ the shoe size = 4

thus, from the above we can say that, the shoe size of the baby who is 4 month old is 1.

A biologist is studying the growth of a particular species of algae. She writes the following equation to show the radius of the

vitfil [10]

Let's solve for d.

fd=(7)(1.06)d

Step 1: Add -7.42d to both sides.

df+−7.42d=7.42d+−7.42d

df−7.42d=0

Step 2: Factor out variable d.

d(f−7.42)=0

Step 3: Divide both sides by f-7.42.

d(f−7.42)f−7.42=0f−7.42

d=0f−7.42

Answer:

d=0f−7.42

Ice cream usually comes in 1.5-quart boxes (48 fluid ounces), and ice cream scoops hold about 2 ounces. However, there is some v

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

(a) The expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream served at the party are 54 ounces and 1.25 ounces respectively.

(b) The expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop are 46 ounces and 1.031 ounces respectively.

(c) Because the variance of each variable is dependent on the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable <em>X</em> and <em>Y</em> are defined as follows:

<em>X</em> = amount of ice cream in the box

<em>Y</em> = amount of ice cream scooped out

The information provided is:

E (X) = 48

SD (X) = 1

V (X) = 1

E (Y) = 2

SD (Y) = 0.25

V (Y) = 0.0625

(a)

The total amount of ice-cream served at the party can be expressed as:

<em>X</em> + 3<em>Y</em>.

Compute the expected value of (<em>X</em> + 3<em>Y</em>) as follows:

$E(X+3Y)=E(X)+3E(Y)\\= 48+(3\times2)\\=48+6\\=54$

Compute the variance of (<em>X</em> + 3<em>Y</em>) as follows:

$V(X+3Y) = V (X)+3^{2}V(Y)+2\times 3Cov (X,Y)\\=1+(9\times0.0625)+0\\=1.5625$

Then the standard deviation of (<em>X</em> + 3<em>Y</em>) is:

$SD(X + 3Y) =\sqrt{V(X + 3Y)}\\\sqrt{1.5625}\\=1.25$

Thus, the expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream served at the party are 54 ounces and 1.25 ounces respectively.

(b)

The amount of ice-cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop is represented as follows:

<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em>.

Compute the expected value of (<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em>) as follows:

$E(X-Y)=E(X)-E(Y)\\=48-2\\=46$

Compute the variance of (<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em>) as follows:

$V(X - Y) =V(X)+V(Y)-2Cov(X,Y)\\=1+0.0625-0\\=1.0625$

Then the standard deviation of (<em>X</em> - <em>Y</em>) is:

$SD(X-Y) =\sqrt{V(X -Y)}\\\sqrt{1.0625}\\=1.031$

Thus, the expected value and standard deviation of the amount of ice cream left in the box after scooping out one scoop are 46 ounces and 1.031 ounces respectively.

(c)

The variance of the sum or difference of two variables is computed by adding the individual variances. This is because the variance of each variable is dependent on the others.
