Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5 - x1 -5 - y1

-1- x2 7 - y2

m= y2 - y1 / x2 - x1

m= 7 - (-5) / -1 -(-5)

m= 12 / 4

m= 3

Given the graph of a line y=−x. Write an equation of a line which is perpendicular and goes through the point (8,2).

Answer:

y = x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of y = -x is -1, so the slope of any line perpendicular to y = -x is +1. Thus,

y = mx + b becomes 2 = 1(8) + b, so that b = -6.

The desired equation is y = x - 6.

Check: Does (8,2) lie on this line? Is 2 = 8 - 6 true? YES.

Answer: c. 0.0778

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of non-authentic names in her sample with parameter :

n= 5 and p=40% = 0.40

Binomial probability distribution, the probability of getting success in x trials :-

$P(X=x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

We have ,

$P(X=0)=^{5}C_0(0.40)^0(1-0.40)^{5}\\\\=(1)(0.60)^{5}\\\\=0.07776\approx0.0778$

Thus , the correct answer is option c. 0.0778
