The correct equation should look something like this:
y= -1x - 2

Consider the equation for a line:
y = mx + b,
Where ‘m’ is the slope
Where ‘b’ is the y-intercept.

From there you can plug in your known values for ‘m’ and ‘b’, and get the equation above. If you are still not convinced, I suggest you graph the function and observe its slope and y-intercept.

Hope this helps!

What does 2 (p -q) +5 (p+q) equal when p = 7 and q = -2? Answer:

salantis [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2(p - q) + 5(p + q) ← substitute p = 7 and q = - 2 into the expression

= 2(7 - (- 2)) + 5(7 + (- 2))

= 2(7 + 2) + 5(7 - 2)

= 2(9) + 5(5)

= 18 + 25

= 43

Nancy found that x=1 is one solution to the quadratic equation (x 2)2=a. what is the value of a? -9 -3 3 9

AlladinOne [14]

The value of the <em>a, </em>in the provided quadratic equation for which Nancy found one solution as x=1 is 9.

<h3>What is the solution of equation?</h3>

The solution of the quadratic equation is the solution of the variable of the equation, for which the equation satisfies.

Nancy found that x=1 is one solution to the quadratic equation. The quadratic equation is,

$(x +2)^2=a$

For this equation, one solution is <em>x</em>=1. Put this value in the above equation to get the value of <em>a,</em>

$(1 +2)^2=a\\(3)^2=a\\9=a\\a=9$

Thus, the value of the <em>a, </em>in the provided quadratic equation for which Nancy found one solution as x=1 is 9.

A theater group holds a fund-raiser. It sells 100 raffle tickets for $7 apiece. Suppose you purchase four tickets. The prize is

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The random variable X is the possible net amount that leaves or enters one's hands. It is the amount of winnings!

X can take on value of -($7 × 4) = -$28

(That is, none of the four raffle tickets bought is picked to win)

X can also take on value of [$150 - ($7 × 4)] = $122

(That is, one of the four raffle tickets bought is picked to win)

For the probability distribution function, we find the probabilities of the different amount of winnings.

First of, probability of losing = (96/100) = 0.96

Then, probability of winning = (4/100) = 0.04

Probability density distribution is then given as

X | probability

-$28 | 0.96

$122 | 0.04

To go a step further, expected winnings would be

E(X) = Σ xᵢpᵢ = (-28)(0.96) + (122)(0.04)

= -26.88 + 4.88 = -$22

The expected winnings show that this is not a risk worth taking.

Hope this Helps!!!
