Answer:
y -2 = -2/3(x +4)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several different forms of the equation for a line. Each is useful in its own way. Here, the line crosses the y-axis at a point between integer values, so using that intercept point could be problematical. That suggests the "point-slope" form of the equation for a line would be a better choice.
That form is ...
y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)
__
The two marked points are (-4, 2) and (5, -4). All we need is the slope.
The slope is given by the formula ...
m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1) . . . . . . . . where the given points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
m = (-4 -2)/(5 -(-4)) = -6/9 = -2/3
Using the first point, the equation for the line can now be written as ...
y -2 = -2/3(x -(-4))
y -2 = -2/3(x +4)
Answer:
a = 1.5
b = 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to solve
and replace the result in the initial equation as:

Then, this equality apply only if the coefficient of
is equal in both sides and the constant is equal in both sides.
It means that we have two equations:

So, using the first equation and solving for a, we get:

Finally, replacing the value of a in the second equation and solving for b, we get:

Let x be a random variable representing the length of a text messaging conversation, then
P(x > 3) = 1 - P(x < 3) = 1 - P(z < (3 - 2)/0.5) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275
Answer:
6(6x^2-4x-3)
Step-by-step explanation:
pull out the gcf which is 6 and it is complete because it is impossible to factor 6x^2-4x-3
