Y=mx+b

So you have slope and a point substitute to find b.

Y= mx+b

-1= -3(5)+b

-1=-15+b

-1+15=b

14=b

Now put equation together using slope and b to get your equation

Y= -3x+14

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(7,6) (-3,-1)

(x1,y1) (x2,y2)

$Distance=\sqrt{(x_{2}-x_{1})^{2}+(y_{2}-y_{1})^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-3-7)^{2}+(-1-6)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{(-10)^{2}+(-7)^{2}}\\\\=\sqrt{100+49}=\sqrt{149}\\\\=12.21$

Answer:

0.104 (10.4%)

Step-by-step explanation:

$UCL = \bar{p}+z(\sigma)$

$\sigma = p(1-)) Vn = 1.02(1-202)) 5$ = 0.028

$\thereforeUCL = .02+(3x0.028)$ = 0.104

$\thereforeUCL$ = 10.4%
