X=3
y=5

You have to cancel out either the x values or the y values (I chose y). You multiply both equations by particular numbers so either the x values or y values can be equal to each other, as well as positive or negative to each other. I multiplied -7y by 4 and 4y by 7, and got -28y and 28y. I then canceled those out. The numbers you multiply by also affects the rest of the equations, so I ended up with 48x=4 and -35x=35. After that, you combine like terms, which results in 13x=39. You divide 13 by both sides and you end up with x=3. To find y, all you have to do is plug in the x value to one of the equations, then solve for y. I resulted in y=5.

Hope this helped ^_^

Consider a uniform distribution created by a random number generator. The distribution looks like a square with a length of 1 an

vekshin1

The rigorous way to do this would be to compute a few integrals, but less work is usually better. Each of these probabilities correspond to the areas of rectangles. Each rectangle will have a height of 1, and the probability of interest will tell you everything you need to know about their lengths.

$\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)\implies \text{length}=0.4\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.4\times1=0.4$

$\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le1)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(0\le X\le0.4)=0.6$

Alternatively, you can use the fact that $\mathbb P(0.4\le X\le 1)=1-\mathbb P(0\le X\le 0.4)$ to get the same result.

$\mathbb P(X>0.6)=\mathbb P(0.60.6)=0.4$

$\mathbb P(X\le0.6)\implies \text{length}=0.6\implies\mathbb P(X\le0.6)=0.6$

$\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)\implies \text{length}=0.76-0.23=0.53\implies\mathbb P(0.23\le X\le0.76)=0.53$

Find the equation of a line that is perpendicular to 4y-3x=1 and passes through point (-7,0).

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

-4/3x + -28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First you rearrange 4y-3x=1

y= 3/4x +1/4

then you reciprocate and change the sign the slope since you are trying to find a line perpendicular to it.

Slope(m) =-4/3

then you use the formula <em>y-y1= m(x-x1)</em>
