A line with slope -2/3 passes through the point (-12,16) What is the X-intercept

1 answer:

4 0

to find the x-intercept of a function, we simply set y = 0 and then solve for "x", so, let's first find the equation of it and then set y = 0.

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-12}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{16})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies-\cfrac{2}{3} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}[x-(-12)] \\\\\\ y-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}(x+12)\implies \stackrel{\stackrel{y}{\downarrow }}{0}-16=-\cfrac{2}{3}x-8\implies -8=-\cfrac{2x}{3} \\\\\\ -24=-2x\implies \cfrac{-24}{-2}=x\implies 12=x \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill (12,0) ~\hfill$

Answer:

0.01083 or 1.083%

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem can be modeled as a binomial probability model with probability of success p = 0.56.

The probability of x=13 successes (a college student being very confident their major would lead to a good job) in a number of trials of n=15 is:

$P(X=x) = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!x!} *p^x*(1-p)^{n-x}\\P(X=13) = \frac{15!}{(15-13)!13!} *0.56^{13}*(1-0.56)^{15-13}\\P(X=13) = 0.01083=1.083\%$

The probability is 0.01083 or 1.083%.

Answer:

A = 70

Step-by-step explanation:

CB is equal to EZ and E equals 35, and E and C are the same, therefore, both E equals 35. Since there's 180 degrees in a triangle, and ABY equals 105, you have to subtract 180 - 105 to get the other angle. When you do that, you get that B equals 75. You have to add E and B (35 + 75), since that's in the same triangle as A. When you do that, you get 110. Subtract 180 - 110 to get A, which is 70.
