The slope of the linear function shown is of -1/3.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function, in slope-intercept formula, is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.

b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

Given two points of a line, the slope is given by <u>change in y divided by change in x</u>.

In this problem, the line goes through points (-3,0) and (0,-1), hence the slope is given by:

m = (0 - (-1))/(-3 - 0) = 1/-3 = -1/3.

Which is an equation of the line with slope –3 and passes through (2, –1)

Savatey [412]

using the formula:

y = mx +b

Using the given slope and coordinate points we get:

-1 = -3(2) + b

-1 = -6 + b

add 6 to each side

5 = b

y = -3x + 5

which is the same as:

3x + y = 5 ...answer choice a

Make x the subject of the formula y= b/ax

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

x=b/(ay)

Step-by-step explanation:

To make x the subject of the formula, we basically have to isolate the x.

To do this we first multiply both sides by x.

xy=b/a

Now, to isolate the x, we simply divide by y,

x=b/(ay)

So x=b/(ay) is our answer

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sides =8 cm, 17 cm and 15 cm

Area of triangle by Hero's Formula,

S=a+b+c/2

S=17+8+15/2

S=40/2

S=20

A= $\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}$

A= $\sqrt{20(20-17)(20-8)(20-15)}$

A= $\sqrt{(20)(3)(12)(5)}$

A= $\sqrt{3600}$

A=60 $cm^{2}$

A greenhouse is offering a sale on tulip bulbs because they have inadvertently mixed pink bulbs with red bulbs. If 40% of the b

True [87]

Answer:

The probabilty of having at least one pink bulb if 4 bulbs are purchased is 13%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion of pink bulbs is p=0.4.

If X is the amount of pink bulbs in a group of 4 bulbs, we can model this as a binomial distribution problem.

The probability that at least one of the bulbs is pink is P(X≥1)

$P(X\geq 1)=1-P(X=0)=1-(\binom{4}{0}p^0(1-p)^4)\\\\P(X\geq 1)=(1-p)^4=0.6^4=0.1296$

The probabilty of having at least one pink bulb if 4 bulbs are purchased is 13%.

How to solve 4(2x-7)-2×=-10 step by step

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

4(2x-7)-2x=-10

Multiply 4 with 2x and -7

8x-28-2x=-10

Add like terms which are 8x and -2x

6x-28=-10

Add 28 to both sides so the -28 cancels out

6x=18

Divide both sides by 6 to isolate the x

Answer= x=3
