Answer:

y = ⅔x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line that passes through (-3, -7) will have the same slope (m) as the line, 2x - 3y = 24. This is because if two lines that are parallel to each other would have the same slope.

Rewrite 2x - 3y = 24, in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + b.

Thus:

2x - 3y = 24, rewritten would give us y = ⅔x - 8.

The slope of the line, 2x - 3y = 24, is ⅔.

Thus, the slope of the line that is parallel to 2x - 3y = 24, is also ⅔.

To find the equation, substitute a = -3, b = -7, and m = ⅔ into y - b = m(x - a).

Thus:

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

Rewrite to make the equation in slope-intercept form.

Thus:

y + 7 = ⅔(x + 3)

3(y + 7) = 2(x + 3) ---› multiplication property of equality

3y + 21 = 2x + 6 ----› distributive property

3y = 2x + 6 - 21 ----› subtraction property of equality

3y = 2x - 15

y = ⅔x - 5 (division property of equality)

54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. You randomly select 10 U.S. adults. Find the probability

Degger [83]

Part B is not clear and the clear one is;

P(X ≥ 6)

Answer:

A) 0.238

B) 0.478

C) 0.114

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we will make use of binomial probability formula;

P(X = x) = nCx × p^(x)•(1 - p) ^(n - x)

A) 54% of U.S. adults have very little confidence in newspapers. Thus;

p = 0.54

10 random adults are selected. Thus;

P(X = 5) = 10C5 × 0.54^(5) × (1 - 0.54)^(10 - 5)

P(X = 5) = 0.238

B) P(X ≥ 6) = P(6) + P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

From online binomial probability calculator, we have;

P(X ≥ 6) = 0.2331 + 0.1564 + 0.0688 + 0.01796 + 0.0021 = 0.47836 ≈ 0.478

C) P(x<4) = P(3) + P(2) + P(1) + P(0)

Again with online binomial probability calculations, we have;

P(x<4) = 0.1141 ≈ 0.114

F(x) = -7x2 + 9x - 15 and g(x) = -12x2 – 15x + 7

djyliett [7]

Answer:

${5x}^{2} + 6x = - 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking you to insert two equations, f(x) and g(x), into the equation g(x) - f(x). This will lead to the equation below.

${ - 12x}^{2} - 15x + 7 - ({ - 7)x}^{2} + 9x - 15$

Now we can solve for the equation.

${ - 5x}^{2} - 6x - 8 = 0 \\ {5x}^{2} + 6x = - 8$
