7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points 

( -5 , 2) and (9 , 0)

First calculating slope(m)

= ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1) 

= ( 0-2) / ( 9+5)

= -2 / 14

= -1/7

Now The equation of line is given by 

y - y1 = m ( x - x1) 

y -2 = -1/7 (x + 5)

7( y - 2) = -1(x + 5)

7y - 14 = -x -5

x + 7y -14 +5 = 0

x + 7y - 9 = 0 

Which is the required equation

13x + 15=17x-13 solve for the solution

Archy [21]

Answer: x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Subtract 17x from both sides.

13x+15−17x=17x−13−17x

−4x+15=−13

Step 2: Subtract 15 from both sides.

−4x+15−15=−13−15

−4x=−28

Step 3: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x/−4 =−28/−4

x=7

If ∠a = 90°, find the measures of ∠b, ∠c and ∠d.

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

m∠b = 35°

m∠c = 145°

m∠ d = 35°

Step-by-step explanation:

To find m∠b, we use Definition of Supplementary Angles:

180 - (90 + 55) = 35°

To find m∠c, we also use Definition of Supplementary Angles:

180 - 35 = 145°

To find m∠d, we use Vertical Angles Theorem:

m∠b = m∠d = 35°

nignag [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sqrt{x} \cdot \sqrt{x} = \sqrt{x^2} = x^{ 2 \times \frac{1}{2}} = x$

$given :\\\\ \sqrt{x} \cdot 4\sqrt{x} = 4 \cdot\sqrt{x} \sqrt{x} = 4 \sqrt{x^2} = 4x$

Under average driving conditions, the life lengths of automobile tires of a certain brand are found to follow an exponential dis

wariber [46]

Answer:

a) $P(X>30000)=1-( 1- e^{-\frac{30000}{30000}})=e^{-1}=0.368$

b) $P(X>30000|X>15000)=P(X>15000)=1-( 1- e^{-\frac{15000}{30000}})=e^{-0.5}=0.607$

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponential distribution is "the probability distribution of the time between events in a Poisson process (a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate). It is a particular case of the gamma distribution". The probability density function is given by:

$P(X=x)=\lambda e^{-\lambda x}, x>0$

And 0 for other case. Let X the random variable that represent "life lengths of automobile tires of a certain brand" and we know that the distribution is given by:

$X \sim Exp(\lambda=\frac{1}{30000})$
