What is an equation of the line that passes through the points (4, -1) and
(-8. – 7)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x - 3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx +c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

[tex]\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }[/tex]

Using the gradient formula above,

gradient of line

[tex] = \frac{ - 1 - ( - 7)}{4 - ( - 8)} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{ - 1 + 7}{4 + 8} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{6}{12} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Substitute m= ½ into the equation:

y= ½x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= 4, y= -1,

[tex] - 1 = \frac{1}{2} (4) + c[/tex]

-1= 2 +c

c= -1 -2 (-2 on both sides)

c= -3

∴ The equation of the line is y= ½x -3.

A pretzel company calculated that there is a mean of 73.5 broken pretzels in each production run with a standard deviation of 5.1. If the distribution is approximately normal, find the probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.

Answers

Answer:

0.1894 = 18.94% probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

A pretzel company calculated that there is a mean of 73.5 broken pretzels in each production run with a standard deviation of 5.1.

This means that [tex]\mu = 73.5, \sigma = 5.1[/tex]

Find the probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 69.

[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]

[tex]Z = \frac{69 - 73.5}{5.1}[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex]

[tex]Z = -0.88[/tex] has a p-value of 0.1894

0.1894 = 18.94% probability that there will be fewer than 69 broken pretzels in a run.

A quiz consists of six multiple choice questions. Each question has four choices. A student who forgot to study guesses randomly on every question. What is the probability that the student answers at most four questions correctly?

Answers

Answer:

0.9945 = 99.45% probability that the student answers at most four questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the student answers correctly, or he/she does not. The probability of the student answering a question correctly is independent of any other question. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

In which [tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

And p is the probability of X happening.

A quiz consists of six multiple choice questions.

This means that [tex]n = 6[/tex]

Each question has four choices. Student guesses randomly.

This means that [tex]p = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

What is the probability that the student answers at most four questions correctly?

This is:

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4)[/tex]

In which

[tex]P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6)[/tex]. So

[tex]P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 5) = C_{6,5}.(0.25)^{5}.(0.75)^{1} = 0.0053[/tex]

[tex]P(X = 6) = C_{6,6}.(0.25)^{6}.(0.75)^{0} = 0.0002[/tex]

[tex]P(X > 4) = P(X = 5) + P(X = 6) = 0.0053 + 0.0002 = 0.0055[/tex]

[tex]P(X \leq 4) = 1 - P(X > 4) = 1 - 0.0055 = 0.9945[/tex]

0.9945 = 99.45% probability that the student answers at most four questions correctly

Answer:

a2 + b2 = c24 + b2 = 49b = [tex] \sqrt{45} [/tex]

I believe the answer would be 6.70820393 or ≈ 6.7 depending on how many decimal points you can put in.

So a^2+b^2 = c^2

In this case you are trying to find b

2^2+b^2 = 7^2
4 + b^2 = 49
B^2 = 45
b = the square root of 45

That is 6.70820393 or ≈ 6.7

Then see if it makes sense

2^2 + 6.7^2 = c^2

2(2) = 4
6.7(6.7) ≈ 45 (44.89)

The height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base. If the area of the triangle is 30 ft2, what is the length of the base?

2 ft


5 ft


9 ft


12 ft

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:  5 27  7  16

area = 1/2 bh

height of a triangle is 7 ft more than its base

base = b

height = b + 7

area = 30

area = 1/2 b(h)

30 = 1/2 b(b + 7)

30 = 0.5(b²+ 7b)

30 = 1/2 b²+ 3.5b           solve for b

1/2 b²+ 3.5b = 30        

1/2 b²+ 3.5b - 30 = 0        

b²+ 7b - 60 = 0            factor

   (b +12)(b - 5) = 0    when b = -12 or 5     base length can't be negative

b = base = 5

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×2(9)     = 9

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×5(12)     = 60

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×9(16)     = 56

area = 1/2 bh     1/2×12(19)     = 114

The relationship between two quantities that increase or decrease together is called A. indirect variation B. variation C. indirect option D. direct variation E. direct option

Answers

Answer:

D. direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

yes it is direct variation

Step-by-step explanation:

well I'm sorry I Don't know if it's going to be step by step but my own understanding is that what ever happens on one side will affect the other side so if there is an increase in A there will be an increase in B so there's a form of equilibrium. so let's say we throw two stones A and B into a fast flowing river we expect that the water will flow so the more the velocity of the river the faster the stone will flow so as the river is flowing the stone is floating as well but an indirect variation as the river increases it's velocity the stone decreases it's movement so in direct variation as the river increases it's velocity the stone does as well.

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations have been given as,

y - 4x = 16

y = 4x + 16 ------(1)

By comparing with slope-intercept form of the linear equation,

y = mx + b

Here, m = slope of the line

b = y-intercept

Therefore, m₁ = 4

2y = 8x + 16

y = 4x + 8 -------(2)

Slope of the line m₂ = 4

m₁ = m₂

Therefore, both the lines are parallel and both will not intersect each other.

Hence, there will be no solution of the system of equations.

Option C will be the correct option.
