If you change the slope in the equation y= 5x + 7 to y = 2x + 7 how will its graph change?

6 0

If we see an equation in the form y=mx+c (where m and c are just some numbers), but the important thing is that the left hand side is "y" and not "2y" or "3y", then the m is the slope.

So y=5x+7 has a slope of 5 (the number before the x)
And y=2x+7 has a slope of 2 (the number before the x)

So as you move from left to right, the one with greater slope will increase y value faster. Just like if you were climbing two mountains. If you went for 1 kilometre up a really steep mountain, you would be higher up than if you went for 1 kilometre up a less steep mountain.

Another way of saying this is that by changing an equation from slope 5 (steep) to slope=2 (less steep), then "It will increase at a slower rate than before"

For #6;

We know that there are 46% male students and 30% of them are seniors. This means that we have to assume that 30% of the male students are seniors and that 30% of the female students are seniors. Taking 30% of 46% gives us 13.8%.

For #7;

We are looking for the possibility that we choose a junior student (22%) or a sophomore student (28%). This adds up to 50% (22%+28% = 50%). That is out answer.

The mail arrival time to a department has a uniform distribution over 5 to 45 minutes. What is the probability that the mail arr

VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The probability that we find a value X higher than x is given by the following formula.

$P(X > x) = \frac{b - x}{b-a}$

The mail arrival time to a department has a uniform distribution over 5 to 45 minutes.

This means that $a = 5, b = 45$ .

What is the probability that the mail arrival time is more than 25 minutes on a given day?

$P(X > 25) = \frac{45 - 25}{45 - 5} = 0.5$

So the probability that the mail arrival time is more than 25 minutes on a given day is 0.5.
