Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given that a line is perpendicular to y = -6 and passes through the point (1, 3)

We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form

Slope-intercept form is y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the value of y at the y intercept, hence the name

First, we need to find the slope (m) of the line

Remember that we were given that the line is perpendicular to y = -6

Perpendicular lines have slopes that multiply to get -1

The slope of y = -6 is 0; therefore, to find the slope of this line, we can do the following equation

0m=1

Divide both sides by 0

m = 1/0

This answer is undefined - therefore, the line has an undefined slope

If this is the case, then it means the line is a vertical line

A vertical line is written as x=k, where k is the value of x at the x intercept. It can't be written in slope-intercept form.

This value is also the value of x at every point that lies on such line - in this case, as given by the point (1, 3) , this value is 1

So substitute 1 as k.

x = 1

This is the line of the equation.

Hope this helps!

3x-2y=6<br><br> y=3/2x-3<br><br> Find the slope, x-intercept, and y-intercept for both equations.
lys-0071 [83]

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have 3x - 2y = 6       <em>subtract 3x from both sides</em>

-2y = -3x + 6      <em>divide both sides by -2</em>

y = 3/2 x - 3

slope: m = 3/2

y-intercept: b = -3

x-intercept for y = 0. Substitute:

3/2 x - 3 = 0      <em>add 3 to both sides</em>

3/2 x = 3       <em>multiply both sides by 2/3</em>

x = 2

<h3>Answer:</h3><h3>slope = 3/2</h3><h3>y-intercept = -3</h3><h3>x-intercept = 2</h3>

----------------------------------------------------------------

y = 3/2 x - 3 it's the same function like first function.

A certain brand of automobile tire has a mean life span of 35,000 miles, with a standard deviation of 2250 miles. Assume the lif
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

mean life span of a brand of automobile = 35,000

standard deviation of a brand of automobile = 2250 miles.

the z-score that corresponds to each life span are as follows.

the standard z- score formula is:

z = \dfrac{x - \mu}{\sigma}

For x = 34000

z = \dfrac{34000 - 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{-1000}{2250}

z = −0.4444

For x = 37000

z = \dfrac{37000 - 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{2000}{2250}

z = 0.8889

For x = 3000

z = \dfrac{30000 - 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{-5000}{2250}

z = -2.222

From the above z- score that corresponds to their life span; it is glaring  that the tire with the life span 30,000 miles has an unusually short life span.

For x = 30,500

z = \dfrac{30500 - 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{-4500}{2250}

z = -2

P(z) = P(-2)

Using excel function (=NORMDIST -2)

P(z) = 0.022750132

P(z) = 2.28th percentile

For x =  37250

z = \dfrac{37250 - 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{2250}{2250}

z = 1

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 1)

P(z) = 0.841344746

P(z) = 84.14th percentile

For x = 35000

z = \dfrac{35000- 35000}{2250}

z = \dfrac{0}{2250}

z = 0

Using excel function (=NORMDIST 0)

P(z) = 0.5

P(z) = 50th percentile
