Answer:

\large\boxed{y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x+\dfrac{3}{5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:}\\\\y=mx+b\\\\m-\text{slope}\\b-\text{y-intercept}\\\\\text{Let}\\\\k:y=m_1x+b_1\\l:y=m_2x+b_2\\\\k\ \perp\ l\iff m_1m_2=-1\to m_2=-\dfrac{1}{m_1}\\\\k\ ||\ l\iff m_1=m_2\\=========================

\text{We have}\ y=5x+2\to m_1=5\\\\\text{therefore}\ m_2=-\dfrac{1}{5}.\\\\\text{Put the value of a slope and the coordinates of the given point}\ (-2,\ 1)\\\text{to the equation of a line}\ y=mx+b:\\\\1=-\dfrac{1}{5}(-2)+b\\\\1=\dfrac{2}{5}+b\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{2}{5}\ \text{from both isdes}\\\\1-\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{2}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}+b\\\\\dfrac{5}{5}-\dfrac{2}{5}=b\to b=\dfrac{3}{5}\\\\\text{Finally:}\\\\y=-\dfrac{1}{5}x+\dfrac{3}{5}

Randy's average grade is 89 with a standard deviation of 3. His grades follow a normal distribution.
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

0.9545

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the probability, we need to get the standard score or z-score of each of the scores.

Mathematically;

z-score = (x-mean)/SD

mean = 89 and SD(standard deviation) = 3

for 83, the z-score = (83-89)/3 = -6/3 = -2

for 95, the z-score = (95-89)/3 = 6/3 = 2

The probability we are to calculate has the following range;

P(-2<z<2)

we use the standard score table to estimate this;

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

P(z<2) = 0.97725

P(z<-2) = 0.02275

Plugging these values into the equation, we have ;

P(-2<z<2) = 0.97725 - 0.02275 = 0.9545

An ant population starts at 1200 for a certain colony. As each month goes by in the winter, 6.5% of the population dies off. How
Nitella [24]

Answer:

There will be 916 ants alive after 4 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let's change the percentage to a decimal by dividing by a 100.

6.5% / 100 = .065

Step 2

So, for the first month we will multiply the initial amount of ants by .065 and this will give us the number of ants that die.

1200 * .065 = 78

This means that after the first month, 1200 - 78 = 1122 ants will be alive.

Step 3

Now for the second month: 1122 * .065 = 72.93 (rounded to 73)

1122 - 73 = 1049 ants will be alive

Step 4

For the third month 1049 * .065 = 68.185 (rounded to 68)

1049 - 68 = 981 ants will be alive

Step 5

For the fourth month 981 * .065 = 63.765 (rounded to 64)

981 - 64 = 916 ants will be alive

Hope this helps!

What is the leading coefficient of the polynomial f(x)f(x) defined below? f(x)=−3x^4−10x^3
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

9x^8

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is a binomial.  Multiplying a binomial by itself results in a trinomial.  In this problem we need ONLY to specify what the leading coefficient (coefficient of this trinomial product) is.

Here this is obtained by squaring the coefficient −3x^4.  We get"

(-3)^2*(x^4)^2  =  9x^8

the combined area of two squares is 45 square cm. each side one square is twice as long as a side of the other Square. what is t
anygoal [31]
6 centimeters



x will represent the side length of the smaller square, so 2x is the side length of the bigger square.

x*x + 2x*2x = 45

x^2 + 4x^2 = 45

5x^2 = 45

x^2 = 9 (Divide by 5)

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(9)

x = 3

2x = 6 (Multiply by 2)

Avery needs 2gallons of milk for a milkshake recipe.She already has 7pints of milk.How many more pints of milk does she need? Ho
cricket20 [7]
There are 8 pints in one gallon. So, Avery would need 8 times 2 pints because she needs 2 gallons and there are 8 pints in every gallon. 

8 x 2 = 16

Now subtract what she already has from the total she needs. 

16 - 7 = 9

So, Avery needs 9 more pints of milk.
