Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, find slope using the given coordinates. Formula for slope: y₁ - y₂ / x₁ - x₂.

Our coordinates are (-2, 5) and (2, -7). Plug them in and simplify.

5 - (-7) / -2 - 2

5 + 7 / -4

12/-4

-3

The slope is -3. The equation becomes y = -3x + b.

To find b, plug an (x, y) coordinate on the line in for x and y in the equation and solve. I'll use (-2, 5)

y = -3x + b

5 = -3(-2) + b

5 = 6 + b

-1 = b

The y-intercept is (0, -1). The equation can now be completed!

<h3>Answer:</h3>

y = -3x - 1

The sum of two numbers is 15. four times the smaller number is 60 less than twice the larger number. what is the larger number?
kirza4 [7]
X = smaller number, y = larger number
x + y = 15.....x = 15 - y
4x = 2y - 60

4(15 - y) = 2y - 60
60 - 4y = 2y - 60
60 + 60 = 2y + 4y
120 = 6y
120/6 = y
20 = y <==== larger number is 20

x + y = 15
x + 20 = 15
x = 15 - 20
x = - 5

A candy company claims that 25% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 32 bags of 32 candies, randomly selects
Luden [163]

Answer:

45.88%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have in this case a binomial distribution when p = 0.25, since the probability is 25%

. The formula that we will use in excel is BINOM.DIST, separated by commas we must put the value of x, n, p and also if it is true or false. We know that n equals 32.

In this case we need to know when x = 7, 8 and 9 and add this, and thus we will obtain the probability:

P (X = 7) + P (X = 8) + P (X = 9)

Excel formulas: = BINOM.DIST (7,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (8,32,0.25, FALSE) + BINOM.DIST (9,32,0.25, FALSE)

P = 0.1546 + 0.1610 + 0.1431

P = 0.4588

Probability that steve agrees with the company's claim 45.88%

At an amusement park , the cost of 3 adult tickets and 4 children’s ticket is $126.50 another customer paid $120.50 for 2 adult
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

1 Adult ticket=$21.50 ; 1 Children ticket=$15.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3A+4C=126.50

2A+5C=120.50

We find the price of adult tickets 1st.

15A+20C=632.5

8A+20C=482

7A=632.5-482=150.5

1A=21.50

Now we find Children ticket

6A+8C=253

6A+15C=361.50

7C=108.50

1C=15.50
