For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line of the slope-intersection form is given by:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

The slope can be found using the formula:

$m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}$

We have the following points:

$(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (-2,7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (4,1)$

Thus, the slope is:

$m = \frac {1-7} {4 - (- 2)} = \frac {-6} {4 + 2} = \frac {-6} {6} = - 1$

Thus, the equation is of the form:

$y = -x + b$

We substitute a point and find "b":

$1 = -4 + b\\1 + 4 = b\\b = 5$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = -x + 5$

Answer:

$y = -x + 5$

Answer:

7:45

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they both turn red at differnt times, you have to find a multiple to find the time they will be both on

Main St: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70, 77, 84, 91, 98, 105

Elm St. 15, 30, 45, 60, 75, 90, 105

They will both turn on 105 minutes or 1 hour and 45 minutes from 6

6 + 1 hr 45 min = 7:45

A patio was to be laid in a design with one tile in the

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of tiles in the design is 1 + 2 + 3 + ...

We can model this as an arithmetic series, where the first term is 1 and the common difference is 1. The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic series is:

S = n/2 (2a₁ + d (n − 1))

Given that a₁ = 1 and d = 1:

S = n/2 (2(1) + n − 1)

S = n/2 (n + 1)

Since S ≤ 60:

n/2 (n + 1) ≤ 60

n (n + 1) ≤ 120

n must be an integer, so from trial and error:

n ≤ 10

Mr. Tong should use 10 tiles in the final row to use the most tiles possible.

A ball is thrown straight out at 80 feet per second from an upstairs window that's 15 feet off the ground. Find the ball's horiz

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the horizontal distance the ball travels, we need to know first how long it took to hit the ground. We will find that time in the y-dimension, and then use that time in the x-dimension, which is the dimension in question when we talk about horizontal distance. Here's what we know in the y-dimension:

a = -32 ft/s/s

v₀ = 0 (since the ball is being thrown straight out the window, the angle is 0 degrees, which translates to no upwards velocity at all)

Δx = -15 feet (negative because the ball lands 15 feet below the point from which it drops)

t = ?? sec.

The equation we will use is the one for displacement:

Δx = $v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in:

$-15=(0)t+\frac{1}{2}(-32)t^2$ which simplifies down to

$-15=-16t^2$ so

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-15}{-16} }$ so

t = .968 sec (That is not the correct number of sig fig's but if I use the correct number, the answer doesn't come out to be one of the choices given. So I deviate from the rules a bit here out of necessity.)

Now we use that time in the x-dimension. Here's what we know in that dimension specifically:

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is always 0)

v₀ = 80 ft/sec

t = .968 sec

Δx = ?? feet

We use the equation for displacement again, and filling in what we know in this dimension:

Δx = $(80)(.968) +(0)(.968)^2$ and of course the portion of that after the plus sign goes to 0, leaving us with simply:

Δx = (80)(.968)

Δx = 77.46 feet

Determine whether the following is a statistical question.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

Yes, the given question is a statistical question.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: statement is "What is the typical height of dog kennels at Keita's Kennels?"

To check: whether the given statement is a statistical question

Solution:

A statistical question is one for which you will generally get more than one answer.

For example "What's the age of the students in your school?" is a statistical question but "What's your age?" is not a statistical question.

The given statement "What is the typical height of dog kennels at Keita's Kennels?" has a single answer only, so the given question is statistical

We are throwing darts on a disk-shaped board of radius 5. We assume that the proposition of the dart is a uniformly chosen point

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data in the question;

Binomial distribution

We find the probability of hitting the dart on the disk

⇒ Area of small disk / Area of bigger disk

⇒ πR₁² / πR₂²

given that; disk-shaped board of radius R² = 5, disk-shaped bullseye with radius R₁ = 1

so we substitute

⇒ π(1)² / π(5)² = π/π25 = 1/25 = 0.04

Since we have to hit the disk 2000 times, we represent the number of times the smaller disk ( BULLSEYE ) will be hit by X.

X ~ Bin( 2000, 0.04 )

n = 2000

p = 0.04

np = 2000 × 0.04 = 80

Using central limit theorem;

X ~ N( np, np( 1 - p ) )

we substitute

X ~ N( 80, 80( 1 - 0.04 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 80( 0.96 ) )

X ~ N( 80, 76.8 )

So, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times, P( X ≥ 100 ) will be;

we covert to standard normal variable

⇒ P( X ≥ $\frac{100-80}{\sqrt{76.8} }$ )

⇒ P( X ≥ 2.28217 )

From standard normal distribution table

P( X ≥ 2.28217 ) = 0.0113

Therefore, the probability that we hit the bullseye at least 100 times is 0.0113
