What is the slope of this​

Mathematics

Answer:

Slope = -\frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = \frac{rise}{run}

The rise in this example can be found by looking at the y-axis. We see that the line intersects the y-axis at y = 2. This is our rise.

The run can be found by looking at the x-axis. In this example, we can find the run by looking at where the line intersects with the x-axis. We see here that this interception occurs at x = 4.

So our rise is 2 and our run is 4.

Slope = \frac{rise}{run}

Slope = \frac{2}{4}

We can simplify this equation down:

Slope = \frac{1}{2}

However, since the line is descending as you follow it from left to right, this makes the slope negative. If the line was ascending as it went from left to right, the slope would be positive. However, since it descends, the slope will be negative.

Slope = -\frac{1}{2}

A tire manufacturer is measuring the margin of error in the thickness of their tires to make sure it is within safety limits. Ov
kolezko [41]

Answer:

Z = -1.65

\bar x  \approx 0.44 \ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The main objective is to compute the data for the Z value and determine the \bar x of the sample distribution

Given that;

the tires' thickness is normally distributed  with a mean μ = 0.45 in

standard deviation σ = 0.05 in

sample size  =  65 tires

Also; we are being told that the  thickness separates the lowest 5% of the means from the highest 95%

∴

P(Z < Z) =0.05

From the Z- table

P(Z < -1.645) = 0.05

Z = -1.65

Similarly;

Let consider \bar x  to be the sample mean;

Then:

mean (\mu_{\bar x}) = \mu = 0.45

standard deviation(\sigma_{\bar x} ) = \dfrac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

=\dfrac{0.05}{\sqrt{65}}

= 0.00620174

By applying the Z-score formula:

x =  μ + ( Z × σ )

\bar x = \mu _{\bar x} +(Z * \sigma _{\bar x})

\bar x = 0.45 + (-1.65 *0.00620174)

\bar x= 0.439767129

\bar x  \approx 0.44 \ inches

What is the answer of solve the following equations and verify your answer ​ ​
Thepotemich [5.8K]

<u>Explanation</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

<h3 />

<u>By doing cross multiplication, we get-----</u>

=>p-6=3(p+7)

=>p-6=3p+21 =>p-3p=21+6

=>-2p=27

=>p=27/-2

=>p=-27/2

<h3><u>Verification:</u></h3>

<u>By,putting the value of p in the equation, we get----</u>

<u>(</u><u>LHS)</u>=(-27/2+7)/(-27/2-6)=1/3<u>(</u><u>RHS)</u>

=>(-27+14/2)/(-27-12/2)=1/3

=>(-13/2)/(-39/2)=1/3

=>-13/2×2/-39=1/3

=>1/3=1/3

<u>Hence,LHS=RHS verified.</u>
