Answer: $(y-7)=-4(x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in point slope form with slope m and passing through point (a,b) is given by :-

$(y-b)=m(x-a)$

Given : The slope of the line : m= -4

The point from which line is passing : (a,b) =(-2,7)

Then , the point slope equation of a line with slope -4 that contains the point (-2,7) will be :-

$(y-7)=-4(x-(-2))\\\\\Rightarrow\(y-7)=-4(x+2)$

Use the discriminant to find all values of b for which the question has one real solution.

Arada [10]

Use the formula 0 = b^2-4ac

0 = -b^2-4(2)(-9)

0 = -b^2+72

b^2 = 72

b = square root of 72

b = 2 real numbers

Max Steel drives his 1969 Mustang 15 miles per hour. If there are 5280 feet in one mile and 60 seconds in one minute, how many f

shutvik [7]

Answer:

22 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation

15x5280=79,200

79,200/60=1320 feet per minute since 60 minutes per hour

1320/60=22 feet per second since 60 seconds per minute

A survey of 1 comma 558 randomly selected adults showed that 522 of them have heard of a new electronic reader. The accompanying

sineoko [7]

Answer with explanation:

Let p be the proportion of adults have heard of the new electronic reader.

Given claim : The accompanying technology display results from a test of the claim that 38% of adults have heard of the new electronic reader.

i.e. $p=0.38$

Then , the set of hypothesis will be :-

$H_0: p=0.38\\\\H_a:p\neq0.38$

Since, the alternative hypothesis is two tailed , so the test is two-tailed test.

Also, it is given that the sample size : $n=1558$

Number of adults showed that they have heard of a new electronic reader=522

So the sample proportion for adults have heard of the new electronic reader : $\hat{p}=\dfrac{522}{1558}\approx0.34$

The test statistic for proportion is given by :-

$z=\dfrac{\hat{p}-p}{\sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=\dfrac{0.34-0.38}{\sqrt{\dfrac{0.38(1-0.38)}{1558}}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow\ z=-3.25279036541\approx-3.25$

By using standard normal distribution table , the P-value for two tailed test corresponds to the obtained z-value = $=0.0011541$
