Answer:

slope = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The general structure of an equation in slope-intercept form is:

y = mx + b

In this form, "m" represents the slope and "b" represents the y-intercept. Since the given equation is not in the exact slope-intercept form, we need to rearrange it to identify the slope.

y + 2x = 5 <----- Given equation

y = -2x + 5 <----- Subtract 2x from both sides

Now, we can see that in the "m" position, there is a value of -2. This makes the slope = -2.

The tangent trigonometric function is equal to the quotient of sine and cosine through the trigonometric identity. In this case, we are given with x = 9 tan (theta). Hence the answer to this problem is the expounded algebraic expression x = 9 sin (theta) / cos (theta).

In a reliability test there is a 42% probability that a computer chip survives more than 500 temperature cycles. If a computer c

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The probability is $P(B' n A ' ) =$ 16%

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

A is the event that the chip was "made by company A"

B is the event that a chip "survives 500 temperature cycles"

The probability that a computer chip survives more than 500 temperature cycles is

$P(B) = 42$ % $= 0.42$

The probability that does not survive more than 500 temperature cycles and it was manufactured by company A is $P(A | B' ) = 0.73$

The probability that the computer chip is not manufactured by company A and does not survive more than 500 temperature cycles is mathematically evaluated as

$P(B' n A ' ) = P (B' | A' ) P(B ')$
