Answer:

y = -3/4x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Use y-intercept (0, -6) and slope -3/4 and put into y=mx+b form to solve for b

Remember that m is also known as slope!

-6=(-3/4 * 0) + b

b= -6

y= -3/4x - 6

When it is 11 a.m. in Johannesburg, it is 6 p.m. the same day in Tokyo, Japan. A flight leaves OR Tambo in Johannesburg at 6 a.m

Answer:

Dear User,

Answer to your query is provided below

The time will be 8am on Wednesday when flight arrive in Tokyo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, You can see that when 11 a.m. in Johannesburg, it is 6 p.m. the same day in Tokyo, Japan ; this means 7Hrs. gap.

Further, A flight leaves Johannesburg at 6 a.m. on Tuesday for Tokyo takes 18 hours in the air, with an additional 1 hour stop-over on land.

So, 6a.m. + 18hr.+1hr.+7hr. = 8am on Wednesday in Tokyo (Arrival)

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If 26 rooms were rented one day for a total of $804,

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer: 16 double rooms and 10 single rooms were rented.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of double rooms that were rented.

Let y represent the number of single rooms that were rented.

The total number of rooms rented in a day is 26. It means that

x + y = 26

A motel rents double rooms at $34 per day and single rooms at $26 per day. If all the rooms that were rented for one day cost a total of $804, it means that

34x + 26y = 804 - - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 26 - y into equation 1, it becomes

34(26 - y) + 26y = 804

884 - 34y + 26y = 804

- 34y + 26y = 804 - 884

- 8y = - 80

y = - 80/ - 8 = 10

x = 26 - y = 26 - 10

x = 16

PLZZZZ HELP What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to a line whose equation is 3y=−4x+2 ?

earnstyle [38]

$\bf 3y=-4x+2\implies y=\cfrac{-4x+2}{3} \\\\\\ y=\stackrel{\stackrel{slope}{\downarrow }}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}x+\cfrac{2}{3}\impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}$

so the slope of that line above is really -4/3, now

$\bf \stackrel{\textit{perpendicular lines have \underline{negative reciprocal} slopes}} {\stackrel{slope}{-\cfrac{4}{3}}\qquad \qquad \qquad \stackrel{reciprocal}{-\cfrac{3}{4}}\qquad \stackrel{negative~reciprocal}{+\cfrac{3}{4}\implies \blacktriangleright \cfrac{3}{4} \blacktriangleleft}}$

mary had 1 3/4 pound of blackberries. Mary's friend ate 3/4 of the blackberries. How many pounds of blackberries did Mary friend

OLEGan [10]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

If Mary's friend at 3/4 of blackberries, we will simply multiply the total number of blackberries by 3/4 to find how many blackberries Mary ate.

3/4×1 3/4= 1 5/16

Therefore, Mary's friend at 1 5/16 pounds of blackberries.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

The college student senate is sponsoring a spring break Caribbean cruise raffle, with proceeds going to the local homeless shelt

drek231 [11]

Answer:

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.

Step-by-step explanation:

A student that purchases 10 tickets out of 2900 has a probability of winning the cruise that can be calculated as:

$p=10/2900\approx0.00345$

Each ticket cost $5, so he has spent $50 for the 10 tickets.

Then, the expected value of this operation is equal to the expected value of the earnings (probability of winning the prize multiplied by the value of the prize), minus the costs:

$E(X)=p\cdot R-C\\\\E(X)=0.00345\cdot3000-50=10.35-50=-39.65$

The mathematical expectation of a student who purchases 10 tickets is -$39.65.
