Answer:

y= 11/13x + 36/13

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

y2 -y1         -4-7 = -11

x1-x2           -8-5= -13

slope is 11/13

Answer:

y = \frac{11}{13} x + \frac{36}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the slope of the line passing through the points

Then find the y-intercept of the line

Then construct the formula

1. find the slope

remember the formula

\frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } is used to find the slope

now plug in the given points

(5, 7)

(-8, -4)

x_{1} = 5\\y_{1} = 7\\x_{2} = -8 \\y_{2} = -4

\frac{(-4) - (7)}{(-8) - (5)}

simplify and solve

= \frac{-11}{-13}

= \frac{11}{13}

2. find the y-intercept

remember the base formula for a line

y= mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

we know the slope, so now plug in one of the given coordinates for a point on the line and slove to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

y = \frac{11}{13}x + b

use the first set of given coordinates for a point on this line: (5, 7)

7 = \frac{11}{13}  * 5 + b

solve by inverse operations and simplifying

7 = \frac{55}{13} + b

\frac{36}{13} = b

3. construct the formula

now we know the slope and the y-intercept, all we have to do now is substitute it into the base formula for a line:

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and B is the y-intercept

we found that

m = \frac{11}{13}

and

b = \frac{36}{13}

so that means the equation is

y = \frac{11}{13} * x + \frac{36}{13}

Ayo runs a fairground game.In each turn, a player rolls a fair dice numbered 1 - 6 and spins a fair spinner numbered 1 - 12.It c
aksik [14]

Using the definition of expected value, it is found that Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

The <em>expected value</em> is given by the <u>sum of each outcome multiplied by it's respective probability.</u>

In this problem:

  • The player wins $6, that is, Ayo loses £6, if he rolls a 6 and spins a 1, hence the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1}{72}.
  • The player wins $3, that is, Ayo loses £3, if he rolls a 3 on at least one of the spinner or the dice, hence, considering three cases(both and either the spinner of the dice), the probability is \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{6} \times \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 + 11 + 5}{72} = \frac{17}{72}
  • In the other cases, Ayo wins £1.40, with 1 - \frac{18}{72} = \frac{54}{72} probability.

Hence, his expected profit for a single game is:

E(X) = -6\frac{1}{72} - 3\frac{17}{72} + 1.4\frac{54}{72} = \frac{-6 - 3(17) + 54(1.4)}{72} = 0.2583

For 216 games, the expected value is:

E = 216(0.2583) = 55.8

Ayo can be expected to make a profit of £55.8.

You sell instruments at a Caribbean music festival. You earn $326 by selling 12 sets of maracas, 6 sets of claves, and x
IrinaK [193]
326=12m+6c+x The reason your x does not have a number is because it is unknown so in order to solve for x you need to get rid of the 12m+6c so in order to that you can divide it on both sides so you would get 326/12m+6c=x the divide your numbers 18.1=x but you cant have a tenth of a djembe drum so you would have to round up to 19.
