The equation of line parallel to y=-5x+2 through: (-1,4)

$y=-5x-1$

Further explanation:

When the equation of line is given in slope-intercept form, the coefficient of x is the slope of the line.

Let

m1 be the slope of given line

and

m2 be the slope of line parallel to given line

Given equation of line is:

$y=-5x+2$

$m_1= -5\\m_1=m_2=-5$

The parallel lines have equal slopes.

The equation of new line can be written as:

$y=m_2x+b\\y=-5x+b$

For finding the value of b, lets put the point (-1,4) in equation

$4=-5(-1)+b\\4=5+b\\b=4-5\\b=-1$

The equation of line parallel to y=-5x+2 through: (-1,4)

$y=-5x-1$

Assume the readings on thermometers are normally distributed with a mean of 0degreesC and a standard deviation of 1.00degreesC.

faust18 [17]

Answer:

$P(-2.06$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-2.06$

Step-by-step explanation:

Previous concepts

Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".

The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".

Solution to the problem

Let X the random variable that represent the temperatures of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

$X \sim N(0,1)$

Where $\mu=0$ and $\sigma=1$

We are interested on this probability

$P(-2.06$

And the best way to solve this problem is using the normal standard distribution and the z score given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

If we apply this formula to our probability we got this:

$P(-2.06$

And we can find this probability with this difference:

$P(-2.06$

The whole sales price for a chair is $165. A certain furniture store marks up the wholesalers price by 15%. Find the price of th

vichka [17]

Answer:

$189.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever you want to find the percent of something, you need to turn the percent into a decimal. In this case, we need to find 115% of the wholesale price because there is a markup, so the cost will be higher.

115% as a decimal is 1.15. Here is how the equation will be set up:

$165 • 1.15 = $189.75

No rounding is necessary for this problem because it is already to the nearest cent.
