What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (5,3) and has a slope of -1/5 ?

Mathematics

deff fn [24]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: y=-1/5x+4

Step-by-step explanation: use the equation y=mx+b (x,y)->(5,3) 5 is an x value and 3 is a y value so you want to plug in these values into the equation. 3=-1/5(5)+b. We already know our slope so just plug it into m. Now multiply -1/5 and 5 which is -1. 3=-1+b you want to isolate b so you can find the intercept. Add one to both sides so it cancels out. 4=b we found our y-intercept so we can write the equation now. y=-1/5x+4

I have no idea what the heck evaluate means
lord [1]

Evaluate basically just means to solve.

Replace the given vaule of m into the equation to get -8/2.

Then solve.

-8 divided by 2 is -4

The fill weight of a certain brand of adult cereal is normally distributed with a mean of 910 grams and a standard deviation of
raketka [301]

Answer:

2.28% probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

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 pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 910, \sigma = 5

What is the probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams?

This probability is the pvalue of Z when X = 900. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{900 - 910}{5}

Z = -2

Z = -2 has a pvalue of 0.0228.

2.28% probability that it will weigh less than 900 grams
