Find an equation of the line with an x intercept of -2 and a slope of 3

Mathematics

aksik [14]3 years ago

Answer:

y= 3x -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation if a line can be written in the form of y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y- intercept.

Given that the slope is 3, m= 3.

Substitute m= 3 into the equation:

y= 3x +c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates into the equation.

Given that it has an x- intercept of -2, the line passes through the point (-2, 0). This is because x- intercept is the point at which the line passes through the x- axis, and this occurs at y= 0.

When x= -2, y= 0,

0= 3(-2) -c

0= -6 -c <em>(</em><em>expand)</em>

c= -6 <em> </em><em>(</em><em>+</em><em>c </em><em>on </em><em>both </em><em>sides)</em>

Thus, the equation of the line is y= 3x -6.

How much is f(10) if f=x^2-2
dangina [55]

To find this value, simply substitute the number 10 in for x in your equation:

f(x) = x^2 - 2

f(10) = 10^2 - 2 = \boxed{98}

The answer is 98.

The route used by a certain motorist in commuting to work contains two intersections with traffic signals. The probability that
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

a) P(X∩Y) = 0.2

b) P_1 = 0.16

c) P = 0.47

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call X the event that the motorist must stop at the first signal and Y the event that the motorist must stop at the second signal.

So, P(X) = 0.36, P(Y) = 0.51 and P(X∪Y) = 0.67

Then, the probability P(X∩Y) that the motorist must stop at both signal can be calculated as:

P(X∩Y) = P(X) + P(Y) - P(X∪Y)

P(X∩Y) = 0.36 + 0.51 - 0.67

P(X∩Y) = 0.2

On the other hand, the probability P_1 that he must stop at the first signal but not at the second one can be calculated as:

P_1 = P(X) - P(X∩Y)

P_1 = 0.36 - 0.2 = 0.16

At the same way, the probability P_2 that he must stop at the second signal but not at the first one can be calculated as:

P_2 = P(Y) - P(X∩Y)

P_2 = 0.51 - 0.2 = 0.31

So, the probability that he must stop at exactly one signal is:

P = P_1+P_2\\P=0.16+0.31\\P=0.47
