$\boxed{y-5=-\frac{1}{7}(x-4)}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

As I understand you need the equation of the line that passes through the point $(4,5) \ and \ (11,4)$ , So the point-slope form of the equation of a line is given by:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ \\ Where: \\ \\ (x_{1},y_{1}):A \ point \ on \ the \ line \\ \\ m:Slope$

So:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1}) \\ \\ \\ m=\frac{4-5}{11-4} \\ \\ m=-\frac{1}{7} \\ \\ \\ So: \\ \\ y-5=-\frac{1}{7}(x-4)$

What numbers multiply to -30 and add to -3

krek1111 [17]

Let the numbers be x and y. Then xy = -30 and x+y = -3.

Solve xy = -30 for y: y = -30/x

subst. -30/x for y in x+y= -3: x - 30/x = -3

Multiply all 3 terms by x: x^2 - 30 = -3x, so x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0

Solve this quadratic equation for x. x: {-5, 2}

If x = -5, then x+y = -3 becomes -5 + y = -3, and y = 2.

You should check to determine whether x=2 is also correct. If it is, what is the corresponding y value?

Solve for x.<br> 5<br> 10<br> 12<br> 13

zysi [14]

Answer: B) 4 & 1/6

Nice work on getting the correct answer.

============================================================

Explanation:

x is opposite the marked acute angle

5 is opposite the corresponding acute angle

So x and 5 are proportional to each other. We can form the ratio x/5

Similarly, 10 and 12 are proportional to one another. We can form the ratio 10/12.

Set those ratios equal to each other and solve for x

x/5 = 10/12

12x = 5*10 ... cross multiply

12x = 50

x = 50/12 ...... divide both sides by 12

x = (25*2)/(6*2)

x = 25/6

x = (24+1)/6

x = 24/6 + 1/6

x = 4 + 1/6

x = 4 & 1/6 which shows why <u>choice B</u> is the answer.

Side note: 25/6 = 4.167 approximately

The length of time it takes to find a parking space at 9 A.M. follows a normal distribution with a mean of 5 minutes and a stand

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$z=0.524$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=5 +0.524*2=6.048 \approx 6.05 min$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the lenght time it takes to find a parking space at 9AM of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(5,2)$

Where $\mu=5$ and $\sigma=2$

For this part we want to find a value a, such that we satisfy this condition:

$P(X>a)=0.3$ (a)

$P(X$ (b)

As we can see on the figure attached the z value that satisfy the condition with 0.7 of the area on the left and 0.3 of the area on the right it's z=0.524

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

$P(X$

$P(z$

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

$z=0.524$

And if we solve for a we got

$a=5 +0.524*2=6.048 \approx 6.05 min$
