Find the Error A student found the slope of one segment on a line to be 4 and the slope of another segment on the same line to be 8/2. He concludes that the slope is different at different points on the line. Correct his thinking

Find The Error A Student Found The Slope Of One Segment On A Line To Be 4 And The Slope Of Another Segment

Answers

Answer 1

If we simplify the fraction we will see that the slope is equal in the two segments of the line.

How to correct the student?

A linear equation is written as:

y = m*x + b

Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, both of these are constants.

In this case the student found the slope on one part to be 4, and on other part to be 8/2.

But if you solve that second quotient:

8/2 = 4

The slope is still 4, so in both segments the slope is the same, which means that the slope is equal at different parts of the line.

make x the subject of 4(x-3)/a

Answers

The rearranged form of equation 4(x-3)/a=y will be x=ay+3.

What is the equation?

An equation is a statement that two expressions, which include variables and/or numbers, are equal. In essence, equations are questions, and efforts to systematically find solutions to these questions have been the driving forces behind the creation of mathematics.

It is given that, the expression is, 4(x-3)/a=y

First, we open the bracket to make x the variable in the equation.

4x - 12/a = y

4x - 12 = ay

4x = ay + 12

x = ay + 12/4

x = ay + 3

Thus, the rearranged form of equation 4(x-3)/a=y will be x=ay+3.

clinical prediction is not the fairest way to combine assessment information about job applicants, but the other methods (unit weighting, rational weighting, and multiple regression) are more fair

Clinical prediction appears to have a serious shortcoming in terms of overall fairness for applicants because it is a subjective process of bringing information and hence clinical prediction is not the fairest way to combine assessment information about job applicants .

A. X-3y=5
B.3x-y=5
C.x+3y=5
D.3x+y=-5

Answers

The equation of line with slope is -1/3 and y intercept 5/3 is : x + 3y = 5.

What is equation of line?A straight line's general equation is y = mx + c, while m denotes the gradient and y = c denotes the point at which the line crosses the y-axis. On the y-axis, this value c is referred to as the intercept. Y = mx + c represents a equation of a straight line having gradient m and intercept c mostly on y-axis.

In the form of a slope intercept, the line's equation looks like this:

y = mx + b

where

slope = m

y-intercept = b

Here given slope = -1/3

y-intercept at 5/3

As a result, the line's equation has a slope of -1 / 3.

Let's use the locations to determine the y-intercept 5/3.

y = mx + b

Here b = 5/3

By substituting ,

y = -1/3x + 5/3

Multiplying both sides by 3,

3y = -x + 5

3y + x = 5

= x + 3y = 5.

Therefore the equation of line is x + 3y = 5.

1.01 g/cm³

Explanation:

The density of drink is 1.01 g/cm³ when 25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and 280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and

280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

Let us find the mass of each drink mixed to make the new drink

mass = density × volume

mass of apple juice =  1.05 × 25

                                = 26.25 g

Mass of fruit syrup = 1.4 × 15

                              = 21 g

Mass of carbonated water = 0.99 × 280

                                           = 277.2 g

Total mass of the drink = 26.25 g + 21 g + 277.2 g

                                      = 324.45 g

Volume of the given drink =  320 cm³

Density of the drink = total mass of liquids/ volume

                                = 324.45g/320cm³

                                 = 1.01 g/cm³

Thus, the density of drink is 1.01 g/cm³ when 25 cm³ of apple juice are mixed with 15 cm³ of fruit syrup and 280 cm³ of carbonated water to make a drink with a volume of 320 cm³.

A.) 1/2
B.) 1 Minute
C.) 1/4
D.) 1/3​

Answers

The time taken for the increase in temperature by 4 degrees Celsius is 1/2 minute.

Suraj took a slice of pizza from the freezer and put it in the oven. The pizza's temperature (in degrees Celsius) as a function of time (in minutes) is given in the form of a graph. The coordinates of the points through which the line passes are (2, 10) and (4.5, 30). We can find the slope of the straight line. If the coordinates of two points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), then the slope of the passing line is given as below.

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

m = (30 - 10)/(4.5 - 2)

m = 20/2.5

m = 8

This means there is an increase of 8 degrees in temperature in one minute. We need to calculate the time taken for a 4-degree increase in temperature.

m = Δy/Δx

8 = 4/Δx

Δx = 4/8 = 1/2

Hence, the increase in temperature by 4 degrees Celsius took half a minute.
