-5

Make the equation into slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.

In the equation y = -5x - 2/3, the slope is -5 and the y-intercept is -2/3.

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

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We have the following equation:

$y = - \frac {2} {3} -5x$

Reordering:

$y = -5x- \frac {2} {3}$

So, we have to:

$m = -5\\b = - \frac {2} {3}$

Answer:

The slope is -5

The sum of squares of numbers is: 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be two numbers

Then,

Difference of the squares of the numbers will be:

$x^2-y^2$

Product will be:

$xy$

Given identity is:

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(x^2-y^2)^2+(2xy)^2$

Given values are:

Difference of the squares of the numbers= $x^2-y^2=5$

Product of numbers = xy = 6

Putting the values in the identity

$(x^2+y^2)^2=(5)^2+[2(6)]^2\\=25+(12)^2\\=25+144\\=169$

As we have to only find x^2+y^2

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{(x^2+y^2)^2}=\sqrt{169}\\x^2+y^2=13$

The sum of squares of numbers is: 13

What is the simplified slope for (3,2) and (5,12)

coldgirl [10]

To find Y intercept
You do y2-y1/ x2-x1
Your y2 is 12, y1 is 2
Your x2 is 2 , x1 is 3
So 12-3/2-3
12-3 is 9
2-3=-1
9/-1 is -9
So your slope is -9

Answer:

0.0006 = 0.06% probability of this occurrence

Step-by-step explanation:

For each unit, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is defective, or it is not. The probability of an unit being defective is independent of any other unit, which means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
