Explanation Formula used: Slope of a line passing through ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) : m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 Point-slope form of the equation of line: y − y 1 = m ( x − x 1 ) Calculation: Consider that the line passes through ( 1 , 4 ) and ( − 2 , 3 ) . Step 1: Find the slope of the line using m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 . Let, ( 1 , 4 ) = ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( − 2 , 3 ) = ( x 2 , y 2 ) Substitute 1 for x 1 , 4 for y 1 , − 2 for x 2 and 3 for y 2 , Therefore, the slope of the line is, m = y 1 − y 2 x 1 − x 2 = 4 − 3 1 −

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

Students have asked these similar questions

A professor gives two types of quizzes, objective and recall. He plans to give at least 15 quizzes this quarter. The student preparation time for an objective quiz is 15 minutes and for a recall quiz 30 minutes. The professor would like a student to spend at least 5 hours total (300 minutes) preparing for these quizzes. It takes the professor 1 minute to grade an objective quiz, and 1.5 minutes to grade a recall type quiz. How many of each type of quiz should the professor give in order to minimize his grading time (why still meeting the other requirements outlined)?

Instructions: Answer each question showing all work. 1. Out of 30 animals at a veterinarian clinic, 8 cats and 4 dogs have been vaccinated. 6 cats and 12 dogs are not yet vaccinated. Create a two-way frequency table to represent the data. 2. Convert the table from number 1 into a two-way relative frequency table. Instructions: Based on the tables created in questions 1 and 2 above, answer questions 3-7. 3. What percentage of cats from the total animals are vaccinated? 4. What is the relative frequency of dogs from the total animals that are not yet vaccinated? 5. What is the conditional frequency of cats that have not been vaccinated? 6. What is the marginal frequency of the total number of animals vaccinated? 7. What is the joint frequency of the cats that are vaccinated?
