Through: (0,2)and (-3,-5)

1 answer:

3 0

To write The equation of a line through the two points you would first find the slope. (y2-y2)/(x2-x1)
(-5-2)/(-3-0); -7/-3= 7/3
Now use the equation y=mx+b to find b.
2= (7/3)(0) + b
2 = b
y = 7/3x + 2

What is the equation of the line passing through the points (3,6) and (2,10)

andrezito [222]

Answer: y= - 4x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation: y=mx+b

***remember: b is the y-intercept and m is the slope.

m= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

3= x1

2= x2

6= y1

10=y2

m= $\frac{10-6}{2-3}$ = $\frac{4}{1}$ = -4

m=-4

Now we have y=-4x+b , so let's find b.

You can use either (x,y) such as (3,6) or (2,10) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(3,6). y=mx+b or 6=-4 × 3+b, or solving for b: b=6-(-4)(3). b=18.

(2,10). y=mx+b or 10=-4 × 2+b, or solving for b: b=10-(-4)(2). b=18.

Equation of the line: y=-4x+18

Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimeters,

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Probability that the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is 0.3594.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Thompson and Thompson is a steel bolts manufacturing company. Their current steel bolts have a mean diameter of 141 millimetres, and a standard deviation of 7.

A random sample of 39 steel bolts is selected.

Let $\bar X$ = sample mean diameter

The z score probability distribution for sample mean is given by;

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

where, $\mu$ = population mean diameter = 141 millimetres

$\sigma$ = standard deviation = 7 millimetres

n = sample of steel bolts = 39

Now, Percentage the sample mean would be greater than 141.4 millimetres is given by = P( $\bar X$ > 141.4 millimetres)

P( $\bar X$ > 141.4) = P( $\frac{ \bar X-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } } }$ > $\frac{141.4-141}{\frac{7}{\sqrt{39} } } }$ ) = P(Z > 0.36) = 1 - P(Z $\leq$ 0.36)

= 1 - 0.6406 = 0.3594

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.36 in the z table which has an area of 0.6406.

Given a soda can with a volume of 21 and a diameter of 6, what is the volume of a cone that fits perfectly inside the soda can?

lutik1710 [3]

If the soda can is a cylinder, which is most likely, than that means we need to find the height of the cone. The formula for volume of a cylinder is V= пr^2h (look at the pic for clearer formula) and we know the diameter of the soda can is 6, we know the radius is 3 because diameter is a line reaching from one point of the circle to the other. Radius is a line reaching from the center of the circle to the outside as shown in the image. We divide pi (you can put in the calculator 3.14) from 21, then we get 6.688 (if we round up) and then you must look at the formula now

it looks like
6.688=r^2h

that means we must find 3^2
that basically means 3x3 which is 9

then you have to divide that from 6.688

then you get 0.743

that is your height.

now we must find the volume of the cone. The formula for that is

V=пr^2(h/3)

now lets plug in our info

V=(3.14)(9)(0.743/3)

you get 6.999
