For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is:

$y = mx + b$

Where:

m: It is the slope

b: It is the cut point with the y axis

The slope is: $m = \frac {2} {5}$

Thus, the equation is of the form:

$y = \frac {2} {5} x + b$

We substitute the given point and find "b":

$-5 = \frac {2} {5} (- 5) + b\\-5 = -2 + b\\-5 + 2 = b\\b = -3$

Finally, the equation is:

$y = \frac {2} {5} x-3$

Answer:

$y = \frac {2} {5} x-3$

A source of information randomly generates symbols from a four letter alphabet {w, x, y, z }. The probability of each symbol is

koban [17]

The expected length of code for one encoded symbol is

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha\ell_\alpha$

where $p_\alpha$ is the probability of picking the letter $\alpha$ , and $\ell_\alpha$ is the length of code needed to encode $\alpha$ . $p_\alpha$ is given to us, and we have

$\begin{cases}\ell_w=1\\\ell_x=2\\\ell_y=\ell_z=3\end{cases}$

so that we expect a contribution of

$\dfrac12+\dfrac24+\dfrac{2\cdot3}8=\dfrac{11}8=1.375$

bits to the code per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would then expect $E[L]=1.375n$ .

By definition of variance, we have

$\mathrm{Var}[L]=E\left[(L-E[L])^2\right]=E[L^2]-E[L]^2$

For a string consisting of one letter, we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{\alpha\in\{w,x,y,z\}}p_\alpha{\ell_\alpha}^2=\dfrac12+\dfrac{2^2}4+\dfrac{2\cdot3^2}8=\dfrac{15}4$

so that the variance for the length such a string is

$\dfrac{15}4-\left(\dfrac{11}8\right)^2=\dfrac{119}{64}\approx1.859$

"squared" bits per encoded letter. For a string of length $n$ , we would get $\mathrm{Var}[L]=1.859n$ .

Joseph took a taxi from his house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

$21.10=3.10+2m.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total fare was $21.50, then that is what it will all have to equal out to.

They charged a pick-up fee of $3.10. Which means that no matter how far you go, you will pay that. Then an extra $2 per mile. If m is mile, then it would be 2m because it is $2 per extra mile. Then add the pick-up fee of $3.10 and you will get your answer of $21.50=3.10+2m.
