What is the slope and the y-intercept of -1.7x-1.9y=5.8

Mathematics
1 answer:
Julli [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope and y-intercept, convert the equation to y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.

Convert the equation by rearranging the terms using inverse operations.

-1.7x - 1.9y = 5.8                                 Add 1.7x to both sides.

+1.7x                     +1.7x

------------------------------------

       -1.9y = 5.8 + 1.7x                         Divide both sides by -1.9.

            y= - 0.89 x - 3.05

This is now in y=mx+b and m=-0.89 and b=-3.05.

The slope is -0.89 and the y-intercept is (0, -3.05).

If 90 percent of automobiles in Orange County have both headlights working, what is the probability that in a sample of eight au
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts  

The binomial distribution is a "DISCRETE probability distribution that summarizes the probability that a value will take one of two independent values under a given set of parameters. The assumptions for the binomial distribution are that there is only one outcome for each trial, each trial has the same probability of success, and each trial is mutually exclusive, or independent of each other".  

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable of interest "number of automobiles with both headligths working", on this case we now that:  

X \sim Binom(n=8, p=0.9)  

The probability mass function for the Binomial distribution is given as:  

P(X)=(nCx)(p)^x (1-p)^{n-x}  

Where (nCx) means combinatory and it's given by this formula:  

nCx=\frac{n!}{(n-x)! x!}  

And for this case we want to find this probability:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)

And we can find the individual probabilities using the probability mass function

P(X=7)=(8C7)(0.9)^7 (1-0.9)^{8-7}=0.3826  

P(X=8)=(8C8)(0.9)^8 (1-0.9)^{8-8}=0.4305  

And replacing we got:

P(X \geq 7) = P(X=7) +P(X=8)=0.3826 +0.4305=0.8131

Derive the equation of the parabola with a focus at (−5, −5) and a directrix of y = 7
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: The equation of the parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).

Explanation:

It is given that the focus of the parabola is (-5,-5) and the directrix is y=7.

The standard form of the parabola is,

(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)

Where y=k-p is directrix and (h,k+p) is the focus.

Since focus is given,

(h,k+p)=(-5,-5)

On comparing,

h=-5

k+p=-5      .... (1)

The directrix is y=7.

k+p=7       .... (2)

Add equation (1) and (2),

2k=2

k=1

Put this value in (1).

p=-6

Put p= -6, h= -5 and k=1 in the standard form of the parabola.

(x+5)^2=4(-6)(y-1)

(x+5)^2=-24(y-1)

Therefore, the equation of parabola is (x+5)^2=-24(y-1).
