Answer: y = -2x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition for parallelism is that m1 = m2 ie, the gradient of the two lines must be equal.

from the equation given,

y = -2x + 8, m1 = -2, therefore m2 = -2. Since the two line passes through the coordinate of (-1, -3 ) , we substitute for x and y in the equation of a line

y = mx + c to get the value of , the y - intersect.

-3 = -2 x -1 + c

-3 = 2 + c

solve for c

c = -3 - 2

c = -5.

now , to have the equation of the line , we put c = -7 into the equation

y = mx + c

y = -2x - 5

Therefore the equation of the line parallel to the line

y = -2x + 8 is

y = -2x - 7

Answer:

8 1/8 total miles walked.

Step-by-step explanation:

I like to make fractions simple so I would do this,

9/4 plus 47/8

Take 8 and your common denominator and solve.

18/8 plus 47/8 = 65/8 which can be put as 8 1/8.

Use the Central Limit Theorem to find a mean given a probability Question A video game company sells an average of 132 games a m

aev [14]

Answer:

The number of games must a store sell in order to be eligible for a reward is 135.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the number of video games sold in a month by the sores.

The random variable X has a mean of, μ = 132 and a standard deviation of, σ = 9.

It is provided that the company is looking to reward stores that are selling in the top 7%.

That is, $P (\bar X > \bar x) = 0.07$ .

The z-score related to this probability is, z = 1.48.

Compute the number of games must a store sell in order to be eligible for a reward as follows:

$z=\frac{\bar x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n}}$

$\bar x=\mu+z\cdot \sigma/\sqrt{n}$

$=132+1.48\times (9/\sqrt{36})\\\\=132+2.22\\\\=134.22\\\\\approx 135$

Thus, the number of games must a store sell in order to be eligible for a reward is 135.

Simplify (1 − cos x)(1 + cos x). (2 points)

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

sin²x

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

(1 − cos x)(1 + cos x)=1-cos²x

Remember that

sin²x+cos²x=1 ------> i-cos²x=sin²x

therefore

(1 − cos x)(1 + cos x)=sin²x
