Chapter 4: Q. 4.13 (page 161)

In Exercise 4.13, we give linear equations. For each equation,

a. find the y-intercept and slope.

b. determine whether the line slopes upward, slopes downward, or is horizontal, without graphing the equation.

c. use two points to graph the equation.

y=1.5x

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. y-intercept is 0and slope is 1.5

b. Slope is upward.

c. The required graph is given below.

Step by step solution

01

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We need to find y-intercept and slope of given linear equation.

02

Part(a) Step 2: Calculations

General form of linear equation is y=mx+cwhere mis slope and cis y-intercept.

Comparing y=1.5xwith general form we get,

slope m=1.5

y-interceptc=0

03

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We have to determine the direction of slope.

04

Part(b) Step 2: Answer and its explanation

As we see the slope is having positive sign so the slope will point in upward direction.

05

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We have to graph the equation.

06

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

Graph for above linear equation is

Wasp Mating Systems. In the paper "Mating System and Sex Allocation in the Gregarious Parasitoid Cotesia glomerata" (Animal Behaviour, Vol. 66, pp. 259-264). H. Gu and S. Dorn reported on various aspects of the mating system and sex allocation strategy of the wasp C. glomerata, One part of the study involved the investigation of the percentage of male wasps dispersing before mating in relation to the brood sex ratio (proportion of males). The data obtained by the researchers are on the WeissStats site.

a. Obtain a scatterplot for the data.

b. Is it reasonable to find a regression line for the data? Explain your answer.
