Answer:

x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

The line x = - 5 means it is a straight vertical line that has no slope. This means that the slope is undefined.

Now, for this line to be parallel to the line passing through point P(−2, 6), it means the line will be a vertical line too with the equation of form (x = a).

Thus, the equation of the line is x = -2

Find the Z scores that separate the middle 27% of the distribution from the area in the tails of the standard normal distributio

vekshin1

Z- score is a statistical tool that is used to determine the probability of finding a number or a value under a normal distribution plot. A normal distribution assumes that the mean is equal to zero and that the standard deviation is equal to 1. Using the z-score table, we can find the probability either on the right side or the left side. Using the table hence, we find the probability to the left of the value. The probability that is equivalent to the unknown z should be equal to 0.5 + (0.27/2) = 0.635. 0.5 comes from the assumption that the area under the curve on each side is 50% of the total. The equivalent z score is equal to z = 0.345.

Recall the equation for a circle with center ( h , k ) (h,k) and radius r r. At what point in the first quadrant does the line w

garri49 [273]

Equation of this circle is
x^2 + (y - 2)^2 = 36
y = 2.5x + 2

Substitute for y in the equation of the circle:-

x^2 + (2.5x + 2 - 2)^2 = 36

x^2 + 6.25x^2 = 36

x^2 = 36 / 7.25

x = +/- 6 / 2.693 = +/- 2.228

when x = 2.228 y = 2.5(2.228) + 2 = 7.57 to nearest hundredth

when x = -2.228 y = 2.5(-2.228) + 2 = -3.57

So they intersect at 2 points but the intersect in the first quadrant is at (2.23, 7,57) to nearest hundredth.

Jeff must do a book report. He reads 3 pages of his book in 13 minutes. He reads 9 pages of his book in 39 minutes. He reads 15

svlad2 [7]

Do you see a pattern in the given information?
3 pages in 13 min
9 pages in 39 min
15 pages in 65 min

the rate of pages per min is constant
3/13 = 9/39 = 15/65

the Question is asking for time.. So the we need the rate as min per page 13/3 so when multiplied by the number of pages it cancels to give minutes.

Units cancel out just like numbers do so you know that the problem is set up correctly.

$(351 pages) * ( \frac{13min}{3pages})=1521 .minutes$
