Answer:

y= -3x +6

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

y=mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -3, m= -3.

Susbt. m= -3 into the equation:

y= -3x +c

Since the line passes the point (4, -6),

(4, -6) lies on the line and must therefore satisfy the equation. Thus, susbt. (4, -6) into the equation to find the value of c.

y= -3x +c

when x=4, y= -6,

-6= -3(4) +c

-6= -12 +c

c= 12 -6

c= 6

Hence, the equation of the line is y= -3x +6.

Truck tire life is normally distributed with a mean of 60,000 miles and a standard deviation of 4,000 miles. what is the probabi

olasank [31]

To solve for the P(54,000≤x≤66000) we proceed as follows:
z-score=(x-μ)/σ
μ-60000
σ-4000
thus:
when x=66,000
z-score=(66000-60000)/4000=1.5
P(z≤1.5)=0.9332
when x=54000
z=(54000-60000)/4000
z=-1.5
P(z≤-1.5)=0.0668
thus
P(54,000≤x≤66000)
=P(z≤1.5)-P(z≤-1.5)
=0.9332-0.0668
=0.8664

Answer: 0.8664
