Y = mx + c
is the formula of a linear line
m is the slope/gradient:
So just take it out from the equation, it’s -2/3

Which inequality is represented by the graph? y≥35x−1.5 y≤35x−1.5 y<35x−1.5 y>35x−1.5

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

y > 0.6x - 1.5

Step-by-step Explanation:

We need two points, to get to the equation of the graph.

Since we've got the following equation for two points (x1, y1), (x2, y2):-

$\boxed{ \mathsf{ \red{y - y_{1} = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}} (x - x_{1}) }}}$

okay soo

I found two points that lie on this graph, not on the shaded region but yeah the dotted line which defines the graph.

one point is <u>(0, -1.5)</u> which lies on the y axis(the point where the dotted line touches the y axis)

other point is <u>(2.5, 0)</u> and this lies on the x axis

placing these points in the place of (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) in the above mentioned equation

$\mathsf{\implies y - ( - 1.5) = \frac{0 -( - 1.5)}{2.5 -0 } (x -0 )}$

you can take any one as (x1, y1) or (x2, y2).

so upon solving the above equation we get

$\mathsf{\implies (y + 1.5) = \frac{0 + 1.5}{2.5 } (x )}$

$\mathsf{\implies y + 1.5 = \frac{ 1.5}{2.5 } x }$

$\mathsf{\implies y + 1.5 = \frac{ \cancel{1.5}\:\:{}^3}{\cancel{2.5}\:\:{}^5 } x }$

$\mathsf{\implies y + 1.5 = \frac{ 3}{5 } x }$

multiplying both sides by 5

$\mathsf{5y + 7.5 = 3x}$

okay so this is the required equation of the dotted line

now we'll find the inequality

for this check whether the origin (0,0) lies under the shaded region or not

in this case it does

replacing x and y with 0

$\mathsf{\implies5(0) + 7.5 = 3(0)}$

$\mathsf{\implies0 + 7.5 = 0}$

this is absurd, 7.5 is not equal to 0 so we're gonna replace that equals sign with that of inequality

7.5 is greater than 0! so,

$\mathsf{\implies7.5 > 0}$

this goes for the whole equation, since we didnt swap any thing from left to right side of the equation or vice versa we can use this sign, to obtain the required inequality

$\mathsf{5y + 7.5 > 3x}$

dividing this inequality by 5, since there's no co-efficient in front of y in the given answers

we get

y + 1.5 > 0.6x

taking 1.5 to the RHS

that is the last option

Consider the continuous random variable x, which has a uniform distribution over the interval from 110 to 150. The probability t

Virty [35]

Answer:

The probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125 is 0.14145

Step-by-step explanation:

For uniform distribution between a & b

Mean, xbar = (a + b)/2

Standard deviation, σ = √((b-a)²/12)

For 110 and 150,

Mean, xbar = (150 + 110)/2 = 130

Standard deviation, σ = √((150-110)²/12 = 11.55

To find the probability that x will take on a value between 120 and 125

We need to standardize 120 & 125

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (120 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.87

z = (x - xbar)/σ = (125 - 130)/11.55 = - 0.43

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43)

We'll use data from the normal probability table for these probabilities

P(120 < x < 125) = P(-0.87 < x < -0.43) = P(z ≤ -0.43) - P(z ≤ -0.86) = 0.33360 - 0.19215 = 0.14145

Hope this Helps!!!

The sum of three numbers is 69. If the second number is equal to the first diminished by 8, and the third number is 5 times the

bonufazy [111]

X = first number
x - 8 = 2nd number
5x = 3rd number

x + x - 8 + 5x = 69
7x - 8 = 69 <=== this is the equation u would use

7x - 8 = 69
7x = 69 + 8
7x = 77
x = 11

1st number = 11
2nd number : x - 8 = 11 - 8 = 3
3rd number : 5x = 5(11) = 55
