A student writes the equation for a line that has a slope of -6 and passes through the point (2, –8).

y -(-8) = -6(x - 2)

y -(-8) = -6x + 12

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8

y = -6x + 20

Explain why the work is not correct.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The student should subtract 8 from each side not add 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form is

y-y1 = m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line

y - -8 = -6(x -2)

y+8 = -6(x-2)

Distribute

y+8 = -6x+12

Subtract 8 from each side

y+8-8 = -6x+12-8

y = -6x+4

The student should subtract 8 from each side not add 8

Answer 2

Answer:

y -(-8) = -6(x - 2)

y -(-8) = -6x + 12

y -(-8) + 8 = -6x + 12 + 8 (this step is incorrect as minus into minus is plus therefore when taking 8 to the right hand side we must subtract it from the left hand side

y = -6x + 20

the correct equation would be : y= -6x+4

suppose that p is the probability that a randomly selected person is left handed. The value (1-p) is the probability that the person is not left-handed. In the sample of 100 people, the function V(p)= 1000 p(1-p) represents the variance of the number of left-handed people in a group of 100.
a) What value of p maximizes the variance?
b) What is the maximum variance?

Answers

Answer:

a) 1/2

b) 250

Step-by-step explanation:

The start of the question doesn't matter entirely, although is interesting to read. What we are trying to do is find the value for [tex]p[/tex] such that [tex]1000p(1-p)[/tex] is maximized. Once we have that [tex]p[/tex], we can easily find the answer to part b.

Finding the value that maximizes [tex]1000p(1-p)[/tex] is the same as finding the value that maximizes [tex]p(1-p)[/tex], just on a smaller scale. So, we really want to maximize [tex]p(1-p)[/tex]. To do this, we will do a trick called completing the square.

[tex]p(1-p)=p-p^2=-p^2+p=-(p^2-p)=-(p^2-p+1/4)-(-1/4)=-(p-1/2)^2+1/4[/tex].

Because there is a negative sign in front of the big squared term, combined with the fact that a square is always positive, means we need to find the value of [tex]p[/tex] such that the inner part of the square term is equal to [tex]0[/tex].

[tex]p-1/2=0\\p=1/2[/tex].

So, the answer to part a is [tex]\boxed{1/2}[/tex].

We can then plug [tex]1/2[/tex] into the equation for p to find the answer to part b.

[tex]1000(1/2)(1-1/2)=1000(1/2)(1/2)=1000*1/4=250[/tex].

So, the answer to part b is [tex]\boxed{250}[/tex].

And we're done!

Anthony drives 15 km at 40 kph and return at the rate of 60kph , what is the average rate for the entire round trip​

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  48 kph

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance is immaterial, as long as it is the same at both speeds. The total time for some distance d is ...

  t = d/40 +d/60

And the average speed is ...

  2d/t = 2d/(d(1/40 +1/60) = 2/(1/40 +1/60) = 2(40)(60)/(40+60) = 4800/100 = 48

The average rate for the round trip is 48 kph.

Additional comment

This value is called the harmonic mean of the two speeds. It is the reciprocal of the average of the reciprocals of the speeds.

Write the equation using the graph In slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y=(2/3x)+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Selected Points: (3,4) & (-3,0)

Slope (m) = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)

m=(4-0) / [3-(-3)]

m=4/(3+3)

m=4/6

m=2/3

Point Slope Form: y-y1=m(x-x1)

What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-1) and is perpendicular to the line 6x-y=7

Answers

Answer:

y=-1/6x-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets find the slope of the given line

6x-7=y,m=6

The slope of the perpendicular line would be=-1/6

Using the point-slope form y-y1=m(x-x1)

y--1=-1/6(x--6)

y+1=-1/6(x+6)

6y+6=-x-6

6y=-x-6-6

6y=-x-12

y=-1/6x-2

Marisol bought a soda for $1.99 and 6 bags of chips, which cost "m" dollars each. Which equation represents
