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.

Use slope formula to find slope <span><span><span>−9−5</span><span>−/12−8</span></span>=<span><span>−14/</span><span>−20</span></span>=<span>7/10</span></span> 7/10 = m = slope  
y= mx + b
y= (7/10)x + b
(8,5)
(5) = (7/10)(8) + b
b = -3/5

So.... <span>y=(<span>7/10)</span>x −<span>35

</span></span> multiply by 10

<span>10y=7x−6</span><span> --> -7x + 10y = -6
 --> 7x - 10y = 6
 So, if 7x - 10y = 3 a good model?</span>

Answer:

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. Hope this helps!!! :)

There are two cables coming off the top of a building from the same point. Each cable is secured to the ground. The longest cabl
Bas_tet [7]

Call the point of attachment at the top of the building point T. (Angle T = 25°) The angle N = 180° -32° -25° = 123°. The Law of Sines tells you the relationship ...

... TM/sin(N) = MN/sin(T)

... MN = TM·sin(T)/sin(N) = (200 ft)·sin(25°)/sin(123°)

... MN ≈ 100.8 ft

A children's pony ride at a zoo has ponies attached to a carousel pole in the center of a circle that the ponies walk around as
stepladder [879]
We simply need to solve for the circumference of the imaginary circle.

Given:
Diameter = 25 feet.

Circumference = 2 * radius * π             OR     Circumference = diameter * π

C = 25feet * 3.14
C = 78.50 feet

The pony will walk 78.50 feet to complete one trip around the circle.

<h3>The medians does'nt support the conclusion</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Robin's scores: 99, 108, 102, 107, 119

Order the number from least to greatest

99, 102, 107, 108, 119

Median is the middle value of data set

Median is 107

Evelyn's scores: 125, 137, 138, 145, 145

Order the number from least to greatest

125, 137, 138, 145, 145

Medain is 138

The median of Evelyn's scores is greater than the median of Robin's

Therefore, the medians does'nt support the conclusion.
