Graph the linear equation find three points that solves the equation 2y=5x+11

Julli [10]

Answer:

<h3>Attachment</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to the slope-intercept form (<em>y = mx + b</em>):

$2y=5x+11$ <em>divide both sides by 2</em>

$\dfrac{2y}{2}=\dfrac{5x}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}\\\\y=\dfrac{5}{2}x+\dfrac{11}{2}$

We choose any three x values and calculate the y value:

for x = -1

$y=\dfrac{5}{2}(-1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{6}{2}=3\to A(-1,\ 3)$

for x = 1

$y=\dfrac{5}{2}(1)+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=\dfrac{16}{2}=8\to B(1,\ 8)$

for x = -3

$y=\dfrac{5}{2}(-3)+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{15}{2}+\dfrac{11}{2}=-\dfrac{4}{2}=-2\to C(-3,\ -2)$

Mark the points on the coordinate plane and draw a line through the given points.

I'm confused on this<br>(this is 12 year old math)

Gemiola [76]

Answer: the top box can be the linear equation y=40x+15 and the bottom box is 40

Step-by-step explanation:

If you swim 15 more minutes than your friend and your swam 55 minutes, that means your friend only swam 40 minutes. The set amount of time that your friend swims for <em>x</em> is 40 minutes. So the additional time you swim is <em>b</em>, 15 minutes.

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F. If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

81.85%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

The average summer temperature in Anchorage is 69°F.

The daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F .

To Find:What percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F?

Solution:

Mean = $\mu = 69$

Standard deviation = $\sigma = 7$

Formula : $z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

Now At x = 55

$z=\frac{55-69}{7}$

$z=-2$

At x = 76

$z=\frac{76-69}{7}$

$z=1$

Now to find P(55<z<76)

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)

Using z table :

P(2<z<-1)=P(z<2)-P(z>-1)=0.9772-0.1587=0.8185

Now percentage of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F = $0.8185 \times 100 = 81.85\%$

Hence If the daily temperature is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7°F, 81.85% of the time would the temperature be between 55°F and 76°F.
