Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 5/6

The points (-2,1)

So; y1 = 1 and x1 = -2

The equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 5/6(x + 2)

Multiply each term by 6

6y - 6 = 5(x + 2)

6y - 6 = 5x + 10

6y = 5x + 10 + 6

6y = 5x + 16

- 5x + 6y = 16

Multiplying by minus

5x - 6y = -16

Answer:

5x - 6y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

5/6 = (y - 1)/(x - 2)

cross multiplying,

5x + 10 = 6y - 6

5x - 6y = -16

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

60.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

60% white, 40% black

The first draw you have a 60% chance drawing a white marble, the second time you have a 55% chance since you already drew one in the first round. so i think it is 60.5%% chance drawing white on both rounds since I add 60+55=121. 121/200=60.5%

Simplify algebraic expression 3/4 (1/2X - 12) + 4/5

Nata [24]

$\frac{3}{4} ( \frac{1}{2} x-12)+ \frac{4}{5} =$

$=\frac{3}{4} ( \frac{x}{2} -12)+ \frac{4}{5}$

$= \frac{3x}{8} -9+ \frac{4}{5}$

$= -\frac{41}{5} + \frac{3x}{8}$

The answer is: $-\frac{41}{5} + \frac{3x}{8}$

2.5% of a population are infected with a certain disease. There is a test for the disease, however the test is not completely ac

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

$P(disease/positivetest) = 0.36116$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a conditional probability exercise.

Let's name the events :

I : ''A person is infected''

NI : ''A person is not infected''

PT : ''The test is positive''

NT : ''The test is negative''

The conditional probability equation is :

Given two events A and B :

P(A/B) = P(A ∩ B) / P(B)

$P(B) >0$

P(A/B) is the probability of the event A given that the event B happened

P(A ∩ B) is the probability of the event (A ∩ B)

(A ∩ B) is the event where A and B happened at the same time

In the exercise :

$P(I)=0.025$

$P(NI)= 1-P(I)=1-0.025=0.975\\P(NI)=0.975$

$P(PT/I)=0.904\\P(PT/NI)=0.041$

We are looking for P(I/PT) :

P(I/PT)=P(I∩ PT)/ P(PT)

$P(PT/I)=0.904$

P(PT/I)=P(PT∩ I)/P(I)

0.904=P(PT∩ I)/0.025

P(PT∩ I)=0.904 x 0.025

P(PT∩ I) = 0.0226

P(PT/NI)=0.041

P(PT/NI)=P(PT∩ NI)/P(NI)

0.041=P(PT∩ NI)/0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.041 x 0.975

P(PT∩ NI) = 0.039975

P(PT) = P(PT∩ I)+P(PT∩ NI)

P(PT)= 0.0226 + 0.039975

P(PT) = 0.062575

P(I/PT) = P(PT∩I)/P(PT)

$P(I/PT)=\frac{0.0226}{0.062575} \\P(I/PT)=0.36116$
