\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{5-(-2)}{0-(-2)}\implies \cfrac{5+2}{0+2}\implies \cfrac{7}{2}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{point-slope form}}{y- y_1= m(x- x_1)}\implies y-(-2)=\cfrac{7}{2}[x-(-2)]
\\\\\\
y+2=\cfrac{7}{2}(x+2)\implies y+2=\cfrac{7}{2}x+7\implies y=\cfrac{7}{2}x+5$

The weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4016

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

Required Probability = 0.97062

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the weights of newborn baby boys born at a local hospital are believed to have a normal distribution with a mean weight of 4016 grams and a standard deviation of 532 grams.

Let X = weight of the newborn baby, so X ~ N( $\mu=4016 , \sigma^{2} = 532^{2}$ )

The standard normal z distribution is given by;

Z = $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ ~ N(0,1)

Now, probability that the weight will be less than 5026 grams = P(X < 5026)

P(X < 5026) = P( $\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ < $\frac{5026-4016}{532}$ ) = P(Z < 1.89) = 0.97062

Therefore, the probability that the weight will be less than 5026 grams is 0.97062 .

There were two containers of oil. There was twice as much oil in the second container as in the first one. After using 13 liters

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

48 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

First container = x

Second container has twice as much oil.

Second container = 2x

13 liters of oil was used from first container.

x - 13

7 liters of oil was used from the second container.

2x - 7

Second container has 3 times more oil than the first one.

2x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3(x - 13)

x - 7 = 3x - 39

2x = 32

x = 16

First container = 16 liters

second container = 16 x 2 = 32 liters

Total = 16 + 32 = 48 liters

Peter has 30 pens and Tony has 14 pens .How many pens must Tony give Peter so that Peter shall have 3 times as many as Tony?

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Let p be the number of pencils.

3(14-p)=30+p

42-3p=30+p

4p=12, p=3.

So Peter ends up with 33 and Tony with 11. 3*11=33, so that confirms that Tony gave Peter 3 pencils.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to y=−4x−3 and that passes through the point (−2,4).

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

The Correct option is Last one $y=-4x-4$

Therefore, equation of the line in slope-intercept that passes through (-2,4) and is parallel to the line $y=-4x-3$ is $y=-4x-4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=-4x-3$

To Find:

Equation of line passing through ( -2, 4) and is parallel to the line y=-4x-3

Solution:

$y=-4x-3$ ..........Given

Comparing with Slope-Intercept form,

$y=mx+c$

Where m =slope

We get

$Slope = m = -4$

We know that parallel lines have Equal slopes.

Therefore the slope of the required line passing through (-2 , 4) will also have the slope = m = -4.

Now the equation of line in slope point form given by

$(y-y_{1})=m(x-x_{1})$

Substituting the points and so we will get the required equation of the line,

$(y-4))=-4(x-(-2))=-4x-8\\\\y=-4x-8+4=-4x-4\\\\y=-4x-4......Equation\ of\ line$

Therefore, equation of the line in slope-intercept that passes through (-2,4) and is parallel to the line $y=-4x-3$ is $y=-4x-4$
