Answer:

$y = \frac{1}{6} x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line can be written in the form of y=mx+c, where m is the gradient and c is the y-intercept.

$\boxed{gradient = \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} }$

Using the above formula,

$m = \frac{1 - ( - 1)}{6 - ( - 6)} \\ m = \frac{1 + 1}{6 + 6} \\ m = \frac{2}{12} \\ m = \frac{1}{6}$

Substitute the value of m into the equation:

$y = \frac{1}{6} x + c$

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x=6, y=1,

$1 = \frac{1}{6} (6) + c \\ 1 = 1 + c \\ c = 1 - 1 \\ c = 0$

Thus, the equation of the line is y=⅙x.

Axis of sym: x =

marta [7]

Answer:

<h2>SEE BELOW</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>to understand this</h3><h3>you need to know about:</h3>

quadratic function
PEMDAS

<h3>let's solve:</h3>

vertex:(h,k)

therefore

vertex:(-1,4)

axis of symmetry:x=h

therefore

axis of symmetry:x=-1

to find the quadratic equation we need to figure out the vertex form of quadratic equation and then simply it to standard form i.e ax²+bx+c=0

vertex form of quadratic equation:

y=a(x-h)²+k

therefore

y=a(x-(-1))²+4
y=a(x+1)²+4

it's to notice that we don't know what a is

therefore we have to figure it out

the graph crosses y-asix at (0,3) coordinates

so,

3=a(0+1)²+4

simplify parentheses:

$3 = a(1 {)}^{2} + 4$

simplify exponent:

$3 = a + 4$

therefore

$a = - 1$

our vertex form of quadratic equation is

y=-(x+1)²+4

let's simplify it to standard form

simplify square:

$y = - ( {x}^{2} + 2x + 1) + 4$

simplify parentheses:

$y = - {x}^{2} - 2x - 1 + 4$

simplify addition:

$y = - {x}^{2} - 2x + 3$

therefore our answer is D)y=-x²-2x+3

the domain of the function

$x\in \mathbb{R}$

and the range of the function is

$y\leqslant 4$

zeroes of the function:

$- {x}^{2} - 2x + 3 = 0$

$\sf divide \: both \: sides \: by \: - 1$

${x}^{2} + 2x - 3 = 0$

$\implies \: {x}^{2} + 3x - x + 3 = 0$

factor out x and -1 respectively:

$\sf \implies \: x(x + 3) - 1(x + 3 )= 0$

group:

$\implies \: (x - 1)(x + 3) = 0$

therefore

$\begin{cases} x_{1} = 1 \\ x_{2} = - 3\end{cases}$

Past records indicate that the probability of online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent is 0.08. Suppose that, on a gi

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can model this with a binomial random variable, with sample size n=20 and probability of success p=0.08.

The probability of k online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent in the sample is:

$P(x=k)=\dbinom{n}{k}p^k(1-p)^{n-k}=\dbinom{20}{k}\cdot0.08^k\cdot0.92^{20-k}$

We have to calculate the probability that 2 or more online retail orders that turn out to be fraudulent. This can be calculated as:

$P(x\geq2)=1-[P(x=0)+P(x=1)]\\\\\\P(x=0)=\dbinom{20}{0}\cdot0.08^{0}\cdot0.92^{20}=1\cdot1\cdot0.189=0.189\\\\\\P(x=1)=\dbinom{20}{1}\cdot0.08^{1}\cdot0.92^{19}=20\cdot0.08\cdot0.205=0.328\\\\\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-[0.189+0.328]\\\\P(x\geq2)=1-0.517=0.483$

The probability that there are 2 or more fraudulent online retail orders in the sample is 0.483.
