The heights (in cm) and arm spans (in cm) of 31 students were measured. The association between x(height) and y(arm span) is sho

wn in the scatterplot below. The equation of the line of best fit modeling this relationship is given.
Y=4.5x + 0.977x

Mike is 175cm tall and George is 170cm tall.
Using the model, how many centimeters longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's?

Answer:

27.385 cm longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find how many centimeters longer would we expect Mike's arm span to be than George's using the equation:

y= 4.5x + 0.977 x

where y= arm span

and x= height

Given:

Mike's height=x = 175 cm

so Mike's arm span= y= 4.5 x + 0.977 x

= 4.5* (175) + 0.977* (175)

= 787.5 + 170.975

= 958.475 cm

George's height = x = 170 cm

so George's arm span= y= 4.5 x + 0.977 x

= 4.5* (170) + 0.977* (170)

= 765 + 166.09

= 931.09 cm

Mike's arm span longer than George's = Mike's arm span - George's arm span

= 958.475 - 931.09

= 27.385 cm.

What other points are on the line of direct variation through (5, 12)? Check all that apply. (0, 0) (2.5, 6) (3, 10) (7.5, 18) (

aalyn [17]

we know that

A relationship between two variables, x, and y, represent a direct variation if it can be expressed in the form $y/x=k$ or $y=kx$

in this problem we have

the point $(5,12)$ is on the line of direct variation

so

Find the constant of proportionality k

$y/x=k$ -------> substitute ------> $k=12/5$

the equation is

$y=\frac{12}{5}x$

Remember that

If a point is on the line of direct variation

then

the point must satisfy the equation of direct variation

we're proceeding to verify each point

<u>case A)</u> point $(0,0)$

$x=0\ y=0$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$0=\frac{12}{5}*0$

$0=0$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(0,0)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case B)</u> point $(2.5,6)$

$x=2.5\ y=6$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$6=\frac{12}{5}*2.5$

$6=6$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(2.5,6)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case C)</u> point $(3,10)$

$x=3\ y=10$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$10=\frac{12}{5}*3$

$10=7.2$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(3,10)$ is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case D)</u> point $(7.5,18)$

$x=7.5\ y=18$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$18=\frac{12}{5}*7.5$

$18=18$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(7.5,18)$ is on the line of direct variation

<u>case E)</u> point $(12.5,24)$

$x=12.5\ y=24$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$24=\frac{12}{5}*12.5$

$18=30$ -------> is not true

therefore

the point $(12.5,24)$ is not on the line of direct variation

<u>case F)</u> point $(15,36)$

$x=15\ y=36$

Substitute the value of x and y in the direct variation equation

$36=\frac{12}{5}*15$

$36=36$ -------> is true

therefore

the point $(15,36)$ is on the line of direct variation

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

$(0,0)$

$(2.5,6)$

$(7.5,18)$

$(15,36)$

If point C is inside AvB, then __+m CvB= m AvB

adelina 88 [10]

Answer: OPTION A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the "Angle Addition Postulate" in order to solve this exercise.

You have this larger angle:

$\angle AVB$

According to the "Angle Addition Postulate", if the point "C" is in the interior of $\angle AVB$ , then the measure of this angle can be obtained by adding the angle $\angle AVC$ and the angle $\angle CVB$ .

You can observe in the figure that:

$m\angle AVC=39\°\\\\\mangle CVB=23\°$

Then you get that:

$m\angle AVC+m\angle CVB=m\angle AVB\\\\39\°+23\°=62\°$

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A.

WITCHER [35]

the complete question is

While driving in an exotic foreign land you see a speed limit sign on a highway that reads 180,000 furlongs per fortnight. How many miles per hour is this? (One furlong is 1/8 mile, and a fortnight is 14 days. A furlong originally referred to the length of a plowed furrow.)

Step 1

<u>convert (furlongs per fortnight) to (miles per fortnight)</u>

180,000 furlongs per fortnight=180,000*(1/8)=22,500 miles per fortnight

Step 2

<u>convert miles per fortnight to miles per hour</u>

1 day=24 hour

14 day=24*14=336 hours

22,500 miles per fortnight=22,500/336=66.96 mph

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

66.96 mph
