Answer:

The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7 ⇒ answer A

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the relation between the parallel lines

- If two lines are equal then their slopes are equal

- We can make an equation of a line by using its slope and

 a point on the line

- If the slope of the line is m and passing through the point (x1 , y1),

 then we can use this form [y - y1]/[x - x1] = m to find the equation

* Lets solve the problem

- The line is parallel to the line 2x - 3y = 5

∴ the slope of the line = the slope of the line 2x - 3y = 5

- Rearrange the terms of the equation to be in the form

  y = mx + c to find the slope of it

∵ 2x - 3y = 5 ⇒ subtract 2x from both sides

∴ -3y = 5 - 2x ⇒ divide two sides by -3

∴ y = 5/-3 - 2x/-3 ⇒ y = 2/3 x - 5/3

∴ The slop of the line is 2/3

∵ The line passes through point (2 , -1)

* Lets use the rule to find the equation of the line

∵ y - (-1)/x - 2 = 2/3

∴ y + 1/x - 2 = 2/3 ⇒ by using cross multiplication

∴ 3(y + 1) = 2(x - 2) ⇒ open the brackets

∴ 3y + 3 = 2x - 4 ⇒ put x an d y in one side

∴ 2x - 3y = 3 + 4

∴ 2x - 3y = 7

* The equation of the line is 2x - 3y = 7

The scale on a scale drawing is 1 : 30. What should you do with each measurement on the drawing to get the actual dimensions? Pr
jekas [21]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first question, you should multiply the scale dimension by 30 to get the actual dimension. This is because the scale is 1:30 where the scale dimension is the 1 and the actual dimension is 30, so therefore, the scale dimension is 1/30th of the actual dimension, so to get the actual dimension, we can multiply the scale dimension by 30. I'm not totally sure how to attach pictures from my phone on my computer (sorry) but an example of a drawing could be two rectangles, the first (this is the scale drawing) having dimensions of 1 by 2 units and the second (this is the actual drawing) having dimensions of 30 by 60 units. I hope this helps!

Soft-drink cans are filled by an automated filling machine. The mean fill volume is 12.1 fluid ounces, and the standard deviatio
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

Probability is 0.97725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Mean volume =12.1 ounces  ,standard deviation=0.05

  and 10 volumes are selected i.e no of observation or samples.

To find : calculate probability for fluid  less than the 12 ounces.i.e P(X<12) with normal distribution probability .

Solution:

Given that data is independent normal random variables , which depends upon mean ,variance and the Standard Z-score .

Hence we have ,

Mean=12.1

Variance =square of (standard deviation).

Normal distribution is given by ,

N(mean,variance)

As there are 10 cans with mean 12.1 and variance=(0.05)^2=0.025.

Normal distribution probability is given by sum of independent normal random variables.

Using the notation as P(X-Y>0)

I.e. P(X>Y)

finding the probability of X greater than Y i.e.(12.1>12) ounces .

with same standard deviation we get,

X-Y    ⇒N(12.1-12,0.0025)⇒N(0.1,0.0025).

=P(X-Y)

=P(X-Y>0)

=P(Z>\frac{(0-0.1)}{\sqrt{0.0025} })

=P(Z>-2)

=P(Z<2).

=0.97725.

Using the Z- table refer the normal probability Z-table.
