Answer from: stacy99

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

Answer from: Bethany0323

The value of m is the slope

If you have a equation like this:

y = 2x

2 is your slope. Your slope is always rise/run. This mean that for this equation you are going to rise 2 and run 1 since x is going to be equal to 1

The value of b is the y-intercept

For the equation above, you can see no b which means that you start at (0,0)

In this second equation:

y = x + 2

The b is equal to 2, so the y - intercept is 2 and you are going to start at the point (0,2)

Answer from: Quest

a. we have two

lines: y = 4-x and

y = 8-x^-1

given two simultaneous equations that are both to be

true, then the solution is the points where the lines cross. the intersection is

where the two equations are equal. therefore the solution that works for both

equations is when

4-x = 8-x^-1

this is where the two lines will cross and that is the

common point that satisfies both equations.

b. 4-x = 8-x^-1

x 4-x 8-x^-1

-3 7

8.33

-2 6 8.5

-1 5 9

0 4

1 3

2 2

7.5

3 1 7.67

the table shows that none of the x values from -3 to 3 is

the solution because in no case does

4-x = 8-x^-1

to find the solution we need to rearrange the equation to

find for x:

4-x = 8-x^-1

multiply both sides with x:

4x-x^2 = 8x-1

x^2+4x-1=0

x= -4.236, 0.236

therefore there are two points that satisfies the

equation.

find y:

x=-4.236

y = 4-x = 4 – (-4.236)

= 8.236

y = 8-x^-1 = .236)^-1

= 8.236

x=0.236

y = 4-x = 4 – (0.236) = 3.764

y = 8-x^-1 = 8-(0.236)^-1

= 3.764

thus the two lines cross at 2 points:

(-4.236, 8.236) & (0.236, 3.764)

c. to solve

graphically the equation 4-x = 8-x^-1

we would graph both lines: y = 4-x and y

= 8-x^-1

the point on the graph where the lines cross is the

solution to the system of equations.

just graph the points on part b on a cartesian coordinate

system and extend the two lines. the

solution is, as stated, the point where the two lines cross on the graph.

Acell phone company offers two plans to its subscribers. at the time new subscribers sign up, they are asked to provide some demographic information. the mean yearly income for a sample of 40 subscribers to plan a is $45,000 with a standard deviation of $9,200. for a sample of 25 subscribers to plan b, the mean income is $64,300 with a standard deviation of $7,100. at the 0.025 significance level, is it reasonable to conclude the mean income of those selecting plan b is larger? assume unequal population standard deviations. hint: for the calculations, assume the plan a as the first sample. what is the decision rule?
