A line that passes through the origin also passes through the point (6,2). What is the slope of the line?
please answer with an explanation
9514 1404 393
Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the ratio of its "rise" to its "run." The "rise" is the change in vertical distance, and the "run" is the corresponding change in horizontal distance between two points on the line. The formula for the slope is ...
[tex]m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\qquad\text{where $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ are points on the line}[/tex]
In this problem, you are told the line passes through the origin, which is point (x, y) = (0, 0), and through point (6, 2). Using these coordinates in the slope formula gives ...
[tex]m=\dfrac{2-0}{6-0}=\dfrac{2}{6}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}[/tex]
__
You may notice that when the line passes through the origin, the slope is simply the ratio y/x of any point on the line. Here, that ratio is 2/6 = 1/3.

Additional comment
A line through the origin is the graph of a proportional relationship. That is, y is proportional to x. The slope of the line is the constant of proportionality. The equation of the line is ...
y = kx . . . . . . where k is the constant of proportionality.
The line in this problem statement will have the equation ...
y = (1/3)x

Help me find the domain and range please!
Answer:
Domain: (-∞, 1]
Range: (-∞, 3]
Step-by-step explanation:
The function starts at point (1, 3) and goes to the left and down forever.
Domain: (-∞, 1]
Range: (-∞, 3]
Answer:
Domain: [tex](-\infty, 1][/tex]
Range: [tex](-\infty, 3][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The domain of a function represents the range of x-values that are part of the function, read left to right. We can see that the function goes forever to the left and stops at [tex]x=1[/tex] when we read left to right. Therefore, the domain of this function is [tex]\boxed{(-\infty, 1]}[/tex].
The point at [tex]x=1[/tex] is a filled-in solid dot so it is included as part of the function. Use square brackets to denote inclusive.
The range of a function represents all y-values that are part of the function, read bottom to top. The function continues down forever and stops at [tex]y=3[/tex] when read bottom to top. Therefore, the range of this function is [tex]\boxed{(-\infty, 3]}[/tex]. Similar to the domain, we use a square bracket on the right to indicate that [tex]y=3[/tex] is included in the function. If the dot was not filled-in, then we would use a parenthesis to indicate that [tex]y=3[/tex] would not be part of the function.

A roll of carpet that contains 250 yd of carpet will cover how many rooms if each room requires 7 3/4 yards of carpet?
Answer: 32 room
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]7\frac{3}{4} =\frac{4(7)+3}{4} =\frac{28+3}{4} =\frac{31}{4}=7.75[/tex]
If 1 room = 7.75 yd of carpet ⇒ x rooms = 250 yd of carpet
Use proportions & cross-multiply to solve:
[tex]\frac{1}{7.75} =\frac{x}{250}\\7.75x=250\\x=\frac{250}{7.75} =32.258[/tex]
So 250 yd of carpet can cover about 32 rooms.

What is the range of the table of values
Answer:
Range: { 0,3,5,7,9}
Step-by-step explanation:
The range is the values that y takes
Range: { 0,3,5,7,9}
Now we have to find,
The range of the table of values,
→ Range = ?
Then the range will be the numbers that is in the Y column.
→ Range = ?
→ Range = (value that Y takes)
→ Range = 0,3,5,7,9
Therefore, the range is 0,3,5,7,9.
The measure of each interior angle of reglar convex polygon is 150 How many sides it does have
Step-by-step explanation:
Since an interior angle is 150 degrees, its adjacent exterior angle is 30 degrees. Exterior angles of any polygon always add up to 360 degrees. With the polygon being regular, we can just divide 360 by 30 to get 12 sides.
Using the following image, solve for x
Answer:
x= -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+14= 8
2x= -6
x = -3
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the question,
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] CE = CD + DE
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 8 = (x + 10) + (x + 4)
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 8 = x + 10 + x + 4
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 8 = 2x + 14
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] 8 ― 14 = 2x
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] ―6 = 2x
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] ―6 ÷ 2 = x
[tex]\longrightarrow[/tex] –3 = x
Therefore, the value of x is ― 3.

solve the system of equations using substitution or graphing.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think substitution would be the easiest since you already have one of the variables solved for.
[tex]y=-x^2+4x+5\\y=x+1\\x+1=-x^2+4x+5\\x^2-3x-4=0\\(x-4)(x+1)=0\\x-4=0\\x=4\\x+1=0\\x=-1[/tex]
(You can just set the equations equal to each other since they both equal y).
Now, to get the points, plug in x = 4 and x = -1 into one of the equations (I'm going to plug them into y = x+1 because that one is much simpler)
[tex]y(4)=4+1\\y(4)=5\\y(-1)=-1+1\\y(-1)=0[/tex]
So, your final points are:
(4,5) and (-1,0)
Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use substitution to solve this problem. Since we are given y=-x²+4x+5 and y=x+1, we can set them equal to each other.
-x²+4x+5=x+1 [subtract both sides by x]
-x²+3x+5=1 [subtract both sides by 1]
-x²+3x+4=0
Now that we have the equation above, we can factor it to find the roots.
-x²+3x+4=0 [factor out -1]
-1(x²-3x-4)=0 [factor x²-3x-4]
-1(x+1)(x-4)=0
This tells us that x=-1 and x=4.
We can narrow down our answer to A, but let's plug in those values to be sure it is correct.
-(-1)²+4(-1)+5=(-1)+1 [exponent]
-1+4(-1)+5=-1+1 [multiply]
-1-4+5=-1+1 [add and subtract from left to right]
0=0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-(4)²+4(4)+5=(4)+1 [exponent]
-16+4(4)+5=4+1 [multiply]
-16+16+5=4+1 [add and subtract from left to right]
5=5
Therefore, we can conclude that A is the correct answer.
An important factor in selling a residential property is the number of times real estate agents show a home. A sample of 15 homes recently sold in the Buffalo, New York, area revealed the mean number of times a home was shown was 24 and the standard deviation of the sample was 5 people.
a. What is the margin of error for a 98% confidence interval? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)
b. What is the 98% confidence interval for the population mean? (Use Student's t Distribution Table.) (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
Answer:
a) The margin of error for a 98% confidence interval is of 3.388 people.
b) The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.
The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So
df = 15 - 1 = 14
98% confidence interval
Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 14 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.98}{2} = 0.99[/tex]. So we have T = 2.624
The margin of error is:
[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.624\frac{5}{\sqrt{15}} = 3.388[/tex]
In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample. This means that the answer to question a is of 3.388.
Question b:
The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 24 - 3.39 = 20.61 people
The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 24 + 3.39 = 27.39 people.
The 98% confidence interval for the population mean is between 20.61 people and 27.39 people.
Read the following scenario, and then answer the question.
Juan assumes that the temperature of the hot tea cooling on his desk can be modeled with an exponential function like this one: T(t)=179(0.92)t. He bases his assumption on the following: The tea cools about 8% every minute. The tea's current temperature is around 179 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which explanation correctly addresses Juan's assumption?
He is incorrect. The tea will cool linearly since it cools at the same number of degrees every minute.
He is correct. The tea will cool exponentially since it cools at a percentage rate every minute.
He is incorrect. The tea will cool along the curve of a parabola since it cools at an increasing percentage rate every minute.
9514 1404 393
Answer:
(b) He is correct. The tea will cool exponentially since it cools at a percentage rate every minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
Newton's Law of Cooling says the change in temperature is proportional to the temperature. This relation gives rise to an exponential function describing the temperature.
In this description, the temperature referred to is the difference between the temperature of the object and the temperature of the environment to/from which heat is being transferred.
Juan is only partially correct. The function is exponential, but the temperature that should be used in his equation is not the temperature of the tea, but the temperature difference between the tea and his desk.

Triangle A'B'C' is formed using the translation (x + 2 y + 0) and the dilation by a scale factor of 1/2 from the origin. Which equation explains the relationship between
AB and A"B"?
Answer:
[tex]A"B" = \frac{AB}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]k = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] --- scale factor
Required
Relationship between AB and A"B"
[tex]k = \frac{1}{2}[/tex] implies that the sides of A"B"C" are smaller than ABC

Gestation periods:
1) 0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.
2) 0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.
3) 0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.
4) 0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve these questions, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The height, X, of all 3-year-old females is approximately normally distributed with mean 38.72 inches and standard deviation 3.17 inches.
This means that [tex]\mu = 38.72, \sigma = 3.17[/tex]
Sample of 10:
This means that [tex]n = 10, s = \frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex]
Compute the probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.
This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 40. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{40 - 38.72}{\frac{3.17}{\sqrt{10}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.28[/tex] has a p-value of 0.8997
1 - 0.8997 = 0.1003
0.1003 = 10.03% probability that a simple random sample of size n= 10 results in a sample mean greater than 40 inches.
Gestation periods:
[tex]\mu = 266, \sigma = 16[/tex]
1. What is the probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 260. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{16}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex]
[tex]Z = -0.375[/tex] has a p-value of 0.3539.
0.3539 = 35.39% probability a randomly selected pregnancy lasts less than 260 days.
2. What is the probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?
Now [tex]n = 20[/tex], so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{20}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.68[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0465.
0.0465 = 4.65% probability that a random sample of 20 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.
3. What is the probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less?
Now [tex]n = 50[/tex], so:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{260 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{50}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.65[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0040.
0.004 = 0.4% probability that a random sample of 50 pregnancies has a mean gestation period of 260 days or less.
4. What is the probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean?
Sample of size 15 means that [tex]n = 15[/tex]. This probability is the p-value of Z when X = 276 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 256.
X = 276
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{276 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex]
[tex]Z = 2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.9922.
X = 256
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{256 - 266}{\frac{16}{\sqrt{15}}}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex]
[tex]Z = -2.42[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0078.
0.9922 - 0.0078 = 0.9844
0.9844 = 98.44% probability a random sample of size 15 will have a mean gestation period within 10 days of the mean.

Since it does not have two angles on the X-axis, a side that lies on the X-axis, or an obtuse angle the reasonable answer would be B as it is true, and all of the others are false.
Explain the steps to find x- and y- intercepts of an equation of the form Ax + By = C
Step-by-step explanation:
For an equation of form Ax + By = C, we are given A, B, and C.
The x intercept is when the line/equation is on the x axis, or when y=0.
Therefore, if we plug y=0 into the equation Ax+By=C, and anything multiplied by 0 is equal to 0, we can say that
Ax + 0 = C
Ax = C
divide both sides by A
x = C/A
Therefore, the x intercept is equal to C/A
Similarly, for the y intercept, or when the line is on the y axis (or when x=0), we have
A*0 + By = C
By = C
divide both sides by B
y= C/B at the y intercept
To make a salad dressing you mix vinegar and olive oil in the ratio 2:5 how much olive oil is needed with 20 ml of vinegar
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as a proportion with the ratios being
[tex]\frac{vinegar}{oil}[/tex] If there is a 2:5 ratio of vinegar to oil, that ratio looks like this:
[tex]\frac{v}{o}:\frac{2}{5}[/tex] and if we are looking for how much oil, x, is needed for 20 ml of vinegar, then that ratio completes the proportion:
[tex]\frac{v}{o}:\frac{2}{5}=\frac{20}{x}[/tex] and cross multiply.
2x = 100 so
x = 50 ml of oil
