Using f(x) = y, we know that a graph of the function contains the (x,y) points (2,5) and (6,-1). first find the slope of that line,
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) ⇒ -6/4⇒-3/2

then using either point (I'll use the first one) solve for b in y = mx + b.
5 = (-3/2)(2) + b⇒ 5 = -3 + b⇒ 8 = b.

So y = (-3/2)x + 8 ⇒ f(x) = (-3/2)x + 8.

A manager records the number of hours, X, each employee works on his or her shift and develops the probability distribution belo

Reika [66]

Answer:

c. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : X = No. of hours worked

No. of people work for the manager = 50

X = 3, 4 , 5 , 6 , 7, 8

P(X) = 0.1 , ? , 0.14 , 0.3 , 0.36 , 0.06

To Find : No. of people work for four hours

Solution : First understand the fact that sum of all probabilities is equal to 1

So, sum of all values of P(X) = 1

⇒ $0.1+?+0.14+0.3+0.36+0.06 = 1$

⇒ $0.96+? = 1$

⇒ $?= 1-0.96$

⇒ $? = 0.04$

So, the probability of no. of people worked for 4 hours is 0.04.

⇒P(4)=0.04

Thus , To calculate no. of people work for four hours :

$0.04\times 50$

⇒ 2 no. of people work for four hours per shift .

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (6,2) (4,1)

Alisiya [41]

Answer: y=1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the line that passes through the points, we need to find out slope, m.

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

We plug our points into this formula to find slope.

$m=\frac{1-2}{4-6} =\frac{-1}{-2} =\frac{1}{2}$

Our slope is 1/2. To find our y-intercept, b, we would plug any point into the equation for slope-intercept form.

y=mx+b

y=1/2x+b

1=1/2(4)+b

1=2+b

b=-1

Now that we know b, our equation is y=1/2x-1.
