Chapter 4: Q. 4.20 (page 161)

In Exercises 4.20, we identify the y-intercepts and slopes, respectively, of lines. For each line.

a. determine whether it slopes upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.

b. find its equation.

c. use two points to graph the equation.

-1.5and 0

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. Slope of above linear equation is horizontal.

b. Equation of above linear equation isy=-1.5

c. The graph is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find the direction of slope of above linear equation.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

As we see the value of slope is zero so it will point in horizontal direction.

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We need to find equation for above linear equation.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

Slope of above linear equation mis 0.

y-intercept of above linear equation cis -1.5

The general form of linear equation is y=mx+c

putting value of mand cin general equation we get,

y=-1.5

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We need to plot the graph of above equation.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

The graph for above equation is

In the article "Comparison of Fiber Counting by TV Screen and Eyepieces of Phase Contrast Microscopy" (Amer. icon Industrial Hyeiene Asseciution Journal, Vol. 63, Pp. 756-761), 1. Moa et al. reported on determining fiber density by two different methods. Twenty samples of varying fiber density were each counted by 10 viewers by means of an eyepiece method and a television screen method to determine the relationship between the counts done by each method. The results, in fibers per square millimeter, are presented on the Weiss Stats site.
