To write the equation of a line, we use the equation: y = mx +b.

m is the slope of the line, which can be calculated using the equation:
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
We can choose any two points on the line to put into this equation. The red dots are at (0,0) and (-6,-2), so we will use those, but you would get the same answer by using any other pair of coordinates on the blue line.
m = (-2 - 0)/(-6 - 0) = 2/6 = 1/3

b is the y-intercept of the line. The y-intercept is the y-coordinate when the line crosses the y-axis. It crosses the y-axis at (0,0), so the y-intercept is 0.

Now, we plug our values back into the full equation to get the equation of the line.
y = mx + b
y = (1/3)x + 0

So the final answer is y = (1/3)x or y = x/3, depending on how you want to write it.

Y=3x because it passes through the origin (has b (or y-intercept) 0), and slope of 3

A certain triangle has a perimeter of 3084 mi. The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side, and the longest side

kari74 [83]

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

Explanation

Step 1

Let

x represents the shortest side

y represents the middle side

z represents the longest side

so, set the equations

a) the perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the sides, so

$\begin{gathered} \text{Perimeter= side1+side2+side3} \\ replace \\ 3084=x+y+z \\ x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \end{gathered}$

b) The shortest side measures 76 mi less than the middle side( in other words, you have to subtract 76 from middle side to get the shortest side)

$x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2)$

c) and the longest side measures 379 mi more than the middle side,( in other words, you have to add 379 to middle side to obtain the longest side)

$z=y+379\Rightarrow equation(3)$

Step 2

solve the equations

a) now, replace the x an z value sfrom equation (2) and (3) into equation(1)

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ (y-76)+y+(y+379)=3084 \\ -76+3y+379=3084 \\ 303+3y=3084 \\ 3y=3084-303 \\ \\ 3y=2781 \\ \text{divide both sides by 3} \\ \frac{3y}{3}=\frac{2781}{3} \\ y=927 \end{gathered}$

now, replace the y value in equatino (2) to find x

$\begin{gathered} x=y-76\Rightarrow equation(2) \\ x=927-76 \\ x=851 \end{gathered}$

c) finally, prelace x and y value in equation (1) to find z

$\begin{gathered} x+y+z=3084\Rightarrow\text{ Equation(1)} \\ 851+927+z=3084 \\ \text{add like terms} \\ 1778+z=3084 \\ \text{subtract 1778 in both sides} \\ 1778+z-1778=3084-1778 \\ z=1306 \end{gathered}$

shortest side: 851

middle side:927

longest side : 1306

You always need some time to get up after the alarm has rung. You get up from 10 to 20 minutes later, with any time in that inte

Mama L [17]

Answer:

a) P(x<5)=0.

b) E(X)=15.

c) P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) P=0.216.

e) P=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

$f(x)=\left \{ {{\frac{1}{10},\, \, \, 10\leq x\leq 20 } \atop {0, \, \, \, \, \, \, otherwise }} \right.$

a) We calculate the probability that you need less than 5 minutes to get up:

$P(x$

Therefore, the probability is P(x<5)=0.

b) It takes us between 10 and 20 minutes to get up. The expected value is to get up in 15 minutes.

E(X)=15.

c) We calculate the probability that you will need between 8 and 13 minutes:

$P(8\leq x\leq 13)=P(10\leqx\leq 13)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\int_{10}^{13} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot [x]_{10}^{13}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{1}{10} \cdot (13-10)\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=\frac{3}{10}\\\\P(8\leq x\leq 13)=0.3$

Therefore, the probability is P(8<x<13)=0.3.

d) We calculate the probability that you will be late to each of the 9:30am classes next week:

$P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\int_{14}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{14}^{20}\\\\P(x>14)=\frac{6}{10}\\\\P(x>14)=0.6$

You have 9:30am classes three times a week. So, we get:

$P=0.6^3=0.216$

Therefore, the probability is P=0.216.

e) We calculate the probability that you are late to at least one 9am class next week:

$P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} f(x)\, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\int_{10}^{20} \frac{1}{10} \, dx\\\\P(x>9.5)=\frac{1}{10} [x]_{10}^{20}\\\\P(x>9.5)=1$

Therefore, the probability is P=1.
