Write an equation in slope - intercept form for the line that satisfies each set of conditions

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

(1)

Rearrange 3x + 2y = 1 into this form by subtracting 3x from both sides

2y = - 3x + 1 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + $\frac{1}{2}$ ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{3}{2}$

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 6, 15) into the partial equation

15 = 9 + c ⇒ c = 15 - 9 = 6

y = - $\frac{3}{2}$ x + 6 ← equation of line

(2)

Rearrange x + 2y = 8 into slope- intercept form by subtracting x from both sides

2y = - x + 8 ( divide all terms by 2 )

y = - $\frac{1}{2}$ x + 4 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - $\frac{1}{2}$

Given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

$m_{perpendicular}$ = - $\frac{1}{m}$ = - $\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2} }$ = 2, thus

y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (5, - 2) into the partial equation

- 2 = 10 + c ⇒ c = - 2 - 10 = - 12

y = 2x - 12 ← equation of line

This season, the probability that the Yankees will win a game is 0.49 and the probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

0.226 = 22.6% probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditional probability:

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

If the Yankees score 5 or more runs, either they win, or they lose. The sum of these probabilities is 1.

Probability that the Yankees win:

Event A: Scoring 5 or more runs.

Event B: Winning

The probability that the Yankees will score 5 or more runs in a game is 0.53.

This means that

The probability that the Yankees win and score 5 or more runs is 0.41.

This means that

So

0.774 probability that the Yankees will win when they score 5 or more runs

What is the probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs?

p + 0.774 = 1

p = 1 - 0.774

p = 0.226

0.226 = 22.6% probability that the Yankees will lose when they score 5 or more runs

The sum of a number times 8 and 21 is less than -16.

vodka [1.7K]

Hello.

First of all, let the number be t.

8 times t can be written like this:

$\mathrm{8t}$

Notice that the number is before the variable and the times sign (×) is not there.

We can write it as 8×t, but we usually write it as 8t.

The sum of means we add:

8t+21

Now, "less than" is "<" :

$\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}$

Therefore, the answer is

$\mathrm{8t+21 < -16}$

I hope it helps.

Have a nice day.

Also how would you round 2.59 to the nearest tenths ?

Maslowich

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenths digit is the 5.

Drop every digit after the 5. You get 2.5

Now you need to see if the 5 stays as it is or if it goes up by 1 to 6.

The first digit after the 5 you dropped is 9. Since 9 is greater than 4, the previous digit goes up by 1, so the 5 becomes a 6.

The final answer is 2.6

The weather forecast for the weekend is a 34% chance of rain for Saturday and a 32% chance of rain for Sunday. If we assume that

kaheart [24]

Answer:

$P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088$

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

$P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512$

And rounded we got $P(A \cup B ) = 0.551$

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the following notaton for the events:

A = It rains over the Saturday

B = It rains over the Sunday

We have the probabilities for these two events given:

$P(A) = 0.34 , P(B) = 0.32$

And we are interested on the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday), so we want to find this probability:

$P(A \cup B)$

And for this case we can use the total probability rule given by:

$P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B)$

And since we are assuming the events independent we can find the probability of intersection like this:

$P( A \cap B) = P(A) *P(B) = 0.34*0.32 = 0.1088$

And then replacing in the total probability formula we got:

$P(A \cup B) = 0.34+0.32 - 0.1088 = 0.5512$

And rounded we got $P(A \cup B ) = 0.551$

That represent the probability that it rains over the weekend (either Saturday or Sunday)
