Write the equation of the line with x-intercept -2 and y-intercept -1 in slope-intercept form

The x-intercept of -2 gives us an idea that point (-2,0) if found along the line. The y-intercept of -1, tells us that point (0,-1), this also tells us that b = -1.

Now that we have two points, we can solve for slope m

\begin{gathered} m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \text{Given two points} \\ (-2,0)\rightarrow(x_1,y_1) \\ (0,-1)\rightarrow(x_2,y_2) \\  \\ \text{Substitute} \\ m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ m=\frac{-1-0}{0-(-2)} \\ m=-\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}

Now that we have both m and b. Substitute these values to the slope intercept form

\begin{gathered} \text{Slope intercept form is} \\ y=mx+b \\ \text{where} \\ m\text{ is the slope} \\ b\text{ is the y-intercept} \\  \\ \text{Substitute the values from before and we get} \\ y=-\frac{1}{2}x-1 \end{gathered}

<span>Answer: Let P be the proportion of correct results of all polygraph results H0: P ≥ 0.80 Ha: P < 0.80 Estimated p = 74 / 98 = 0.7551 Variance of proportion = p*(1-p)/n = 0.8(0.2)/98 =0.0016327 S.D. of p is sqrt[0.001633] = 0.0404 z = ( 0.7551 - 0.8 ) / 0.0404 = -1.1112 P-value = P( z < -1.1112) = 0.1335 Since the p-value is greater than 0.05, we do not reject the null hypothesis. Based on the results there is no evidence that polygraph test results should be prohibited as evidence in trials.</span>

(3x^2a - 4y^a z^3a) ^2 ...?
shusha [124]
The answer is 9x⁴ᵃ - 24x²ᵃyᵃz³ᵃ + 16 y²ᵃz⁶ᵃ


(a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
(3x²ᵃ - 4yᵃz³ᵃ)² = (3x²ᵃ)² - 2 * 3x²ᵃ * 4yᵃz³ᵃ + (4yᵃz³ᵃ)² =
                         = 3²x²ᵃ*² - 2 * 3 * 4 x²ᵃ * yᵃz³ᵃ + 4²yᵃ*²z³ᵃ*² =
                         = 9x⁴ᵃ - 24x²ᵃyᵃz³ᵃ + 16 y²ᵃz⁶ᵃ

PLZ HELP ASAP INSCRIBED QUADRILATERALS
svp [43]
For an inscribed quadrilateral, opposite angles add up to 180 degrees. In this case, if we are looking for the measure of angle D, we can use the fact that angles I & D add up to 180 degrees. Since angle I = 117:
117 + D = 180
D = 63 degrees
