What is the equation of the line that passes through (0,3) and (-5,3)

Answer:

y=+3

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line is y=mx+c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,3), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=3.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (-5,3), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=-5 and y2=3.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=\frac{3-3}{-5-0}

or

m=\frac{0}{-5}

or

m=0

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+c like this:

y=0x+c

Now, what about c, the y-intercept?

To find c, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,3). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 3.

(-5,3). When x of the line is -5, y of the line must be 3.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=0x+c. c is what we want, the 0 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,3) and (-5,3).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for c for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,3). y=mx+c or 3=0x 0+c, or solving for c: c=3-(0)(0). c=3.

(-5,3). y=mx+c or 3=0x -5+c, or solving for c: =3-(0)(-5). c=3.

See! In both cases we got the same value for c. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,3) and (-5,3)  

is  

y=+3

Hope this helps :)

y = 3

First find the gradient of the line:

(Y²-Y¹)/(X²-X¹)

(3-3)/(-5-0)

0/-5 = 0

Your gradient is 0

Now find the y intercept. This is whrre where the line crosses the y axis, when X = 0

(0,3)

Your y intercept is 3.

Now put It into the formula y = mx + c

m = 0

c = 3

y = 0x + 3

y = 0 + 3

y = 3

The numbers of pages in the books in a library follow a normal distribution. If the mean number of pages is 180 and the standard
laiz [17]

Answer:

option B.

About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are dealing with a normal distribution

68.27% of the values will fall in the range with the standard deviation

(180-30 , 180+30) = (150, 210)

Approximately 15.86% of the values will be higher than 210

and the rest 15.86% will be lower than 150

So the correct answer is option B.

About 16% of the books have fewer than 150 pages
