The pattern of a linear function, is the following:
y = mx + b
Where m is always the slope.
m in this case is -4, hence
The correct answer for your question is -4.
Use simultaneous equations:
2x + 7 = x^2 + 8x - 9
7 = x^2 + 6x - 9
16 = x^2 + 6x
+ or - 4 = 7x
answer is
-4/7 or 4/7
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Solve the inequality 
Use distributive property:

Subtract 4s:

Subtract 14:

Divide by -6 (do not forget to change sign, because division by negative number changes the sign):

Answer:
Incomplete question, but you can use the formulas given to solve it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Uniform probability distribution:
An uniform distribution has two bounds, a and b.
The probability of finding a value of at lower than x is:

The probability of finding a value between c and d is:

The probability of finding a value above x is:

Uniform distribution over an interval from 0 to 0.5 milliseconds
This means that 
Determine the probability that the interarrival time between two particles will be:
Considering
, and the question asked, you choose one of the three formulas above.
