What is the equation of the following line written in slope intercept form? (-5,-1)

solmaris [256]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

From the graph we have two points (-5, -1) and (-2, -3).

Look at the picture.

Calculate the slope:

$m=\dfrac{-3-(-1)}{-2-(-5)}=\dfrac{-2}{3}=-\dfrac{2}{3}$

Put it to the equation in slope-intercept form:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x+b$

We can't read the y-intercept from the graph. Therefore put the coordinates of the point (-5, -1) to the equation and calculate b:

$-1=-\dfrac{2}{3}(-5)+b$

$-1=\dfrac{10}{3}+b$ subtract 10/3 from both sides

$-\dfrac{3}{3}-\dfrac{10}{3}=b\to b=-\dfrac{13}{3}$

Finally:

$y=-\dfrac{2}{3}x-\dfrac{13}{3}$

The area of a square is 36cm2. What are the dimensions of the square? You must show your work. Pls tell me what the dimensions o

Helga [31]

Answer:

6 cm by 6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the formula for area of a square is A = s² where A = area and s is the length of one side. We know that A = 36 so:

36 = s²

√36 = s

s = ±6

Note that s = -6 is an extraneous solution because you can't have a side length of -6, therefore the answer is s = 6 so the dimensions of the square are 6 cm by 6 cm.

Ok ok, Jonathan is making his favorite pasta dish. His mom ate 2/7 of the pasta, and his brother ate 1/6 of the pasta. How much

givi [52]

Answer:

It is 0.4524 rounded simply you can say 0.45

Step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 2/7 by 6 which is 12/42 and 1/6 times 7 which is 7/42 and add both fractions you will get 19/42 which is 0.45 you can either say the answer is 0.45 or 19/42.

The average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 in

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

Probability that average height would be shorter than 63 inches = 0.30854 .

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the average height of 20-year-old American women is normally distributed with a mean of 64 inches and standard deviation of 4 inches.

Also, a random sample of 4 women from this population is taken and their average height is computed.

Let X bar = Average height

The z score probability distribution for average height is given by;

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