Write an equation point slope form for the line that goes through the given point with the given slope.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -1/2
(-4,-2)...x1 = -4 and y1 = -2
now we sub
y - (-2) = -1/2(x - (-4) =
y + 2 = -1/2(x + 4) <=====

Ava buys a used car that costs $6,700.00. She trades in her old car for $3,995.00. How much does she pay in cash for the car?

irakobra [83]

So this statement is caused for subtracting. So we have to subtract 6,700.00 from 3,995.00 and the answer would be 2705
Hope this helps :)

A college job placement office collected data about students’ GPAs and the salaries they earned in their first jobs after gradua

frez [133]

Answer:

X is the GPA

Y is the Salary

Standard deviation of X is 0.4

Standard deviation of Y is 8500

E(X)=2.9

E(Y)=47200

We are given that The correlation between the two variables was r = 0.72

a) $y = a+bx$

$b = \frac{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})(y_i-\bar{y})}{\sum(x_i-\bar{x})^2} = \frac{r \times \sqrt{var(X) \times Var(Y)}}{Var(X)} = \frac{0.72 \times \sqrt{0.4^2 \times 8500^2}}{0.4^2} = 15300$

$a=y-bx = 47200-(15300 \times 29) = 2830$

So, slope = 15300

Intercept = 2830

So, equation : $y = 2830+15300x$

b) Your brother just graduated from that college with a GPA of 3.30. He tells you that based on this model the residual for his pay is -$1880. What salary is he earning?

$y = 2830+15300 \times 3.3 = 53320$

Observed salary = Residual + predicted = -1860+53320 = 51440

c)) What proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA?

The proportion of the variation in salaries is explained by variation in GPA = $r^2 = (0.72)^2 =0.5184$

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. W

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

4 1/6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangle has sides of LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{6}1 1 6 inches, LaTeX: 1\frac{1}{3}1 1 3 inches, and LaTeX: 1\frac{2}{3}1 2 3 inches. What is the perimeter of the triangle? Make sure your answer is in simplest form.

Perimeter of Triangle = Side a + Side b + Side c

Perimeter of the Triangle =

( 1 1/6 + 1 1/3 + 1 2/3) inches

Lowest common denominator = 6

= 1 + 1 + 1 +(1/6 + 1/3 + 2/3)

= 3 + (1 + 2 + 4/6)

= 3 + 7/6

= 3 + 1 1/6

= 4 1/6 inches
