Answer:

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Which is option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Slope = m = -2

Given points are ( -2,12)

Which is

x = -2 and y =12

TO find:

Equation of line passing through these points = ?

Solution:

The point slope form of a line is

y = mx + c

Here we don't know the value of c

To find it

Putting y = 12 , x= -2 and y = -2 in the given equation

y = mx + c

Putting values it becomes

12 = (-2)*(-2) + c

12 = 4 + c

Subtracting 4 from both sides

12-4 = 4 -4 + c

8 = c

Now we have

m = -2 and c= 8

So equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

Putting value of m and c

y = -2*x + 8

y=-2x + 8 which is the required equation

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

slope : m

pass through the point : ( a , b )

then you can write down the equation :

y - b = m ( x - a )

from the question

the equation is

y - 12 = -2 ( x - ( - 2 ) )

y - 12 = -2 ( x + 2 )

y - 12 = -2x - 4

y = -2x +8

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

The probability that no boats arrive is 2.48\times 10^{-3}.

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:

Poisson distribution is a statistical distribution that helps to find out the probability of a certain is likely occur a specified period of time.

P(X=x)=\frac{e^{-\lambda t}(\lambda t)^x}{x!}

\lambda = rate.

Given that, Poisson distribution at a rate of 3 per hour.

\lambda = 3

t=2

x=0

The probability that no boats arrive is

P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-2\times 3}(2\times 3)^0}{0!}

                =2.48\times 10^{-3}
