To determine if a line is parallel to another, we need to find the slope of the given linear equation, since the parallel line is going to have the same slope.

The slope of a line m can be determined by first puting the linear equation into the slope-intercept form, which is

y = mx + b.

Given the equation as

y = 2x + 4, the slope is 2

However to solve for b, we can start by substituting for the values of y and x which are given as the coordinates of the point through which the line passes.

The given equation is;

$\begin{gathered} y=mx+b \\ y=2x+b \\ \text{Substitute for the values of x and y} \\ 5=2(-3)+b \\ 5=-6+b \\ 11=b \\ \text{Having calculated b as 11, we now have the parallel equation as;} \\ y=2x+11 \end{gathered}$

The line parallel to y = 2x + 4 is derived as

y = 2x + 11

Of every 300 magic cakes Farah makes, 90 are chocolate, what percentage of chocolate cakes Farah makes?

navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Total magic cakes =300

chocolate cakes =90

so if you want the percentage of chocolate you will divide the number of chocolate cakes over the total number of chocolates

% of chocolate cakes = 90/300×100%

=30%

Using the normal distribution, it is found that:

a) 0.8599 = 85.99% probability that x is more than 60.

b) 0.1788 = 17.88% probability that x is less than 110.

c) 0.6811 = 68.11% probability that x is between 60 and 110.

d) 0.0643 = 6.43% probability that x is greater than 125.

In a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

It 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, which is the percentile of X.
