Answer:

For Part C Yes, do you get the same slope because the slope is constant and it is going in a straight line.

Step-by-step explanation:

I'll start by explaining Part A first then C

For Part A we are given the points (-3,1) and (2,3)

To find the slope using the points use the slope formula.

(y1- y2) / (X1- X2) = m(slope)

Substitue Values

(1-3)/(-3-2) = slope

-2/-5 = slope

Which is just 2/5 since a negative divided by a negative is a positive value.

This is for part C

If you pick the two new points (0,2) and (-5,0) we can use the slope formula again

(y1- y2) / (X1- X2) = m(slope)

Just substitute.

(2-0) / ( 0--5) = m

Then Solve.

2 / 5 = m

So the slope is 2/5

As we can see if we pick two different points on the line we still get the same slope.

Finally Part B just do the same for Part A

Points: (3,0) and (-3,2)

Use the slope formula

(0-2) / (3--3)

-2/ 6

Simplify

-1/3

So the slope is -1/3.

B) slope is -2/6 (negative slope)

C) Yes, with different points, the slope remains the same.

According to national data, 5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests. A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries

blagie [28]

Answer:

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

Step-by-step explanation:

For each burglary, there are only two possible outcomes. Either it is cleared, or it is not. The probability of a burglary being cleared is independent of other burglaries. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

5.1% of burglaries are cleared with arrests.

This means that $p = 0.051$

A new detective is assigned to six different burglaries.

This means that $n = 6$

What is the probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest?

Either none are cleared, or at least one is. The sum of the probabilities of these events is 100% = 1. So

$P(X = 0) + P(X \geq 1) = 1$

We want $P(X \geq 1)$

Then

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.051)^{0}.(0.949)^{6} = 0.7305$

$P(X \geq 1) = 1 - P(X = 0) = 1 - 0.7305 = 0.2695$

26.95% probability that at least one of them is cleared with an arrest

How many miles equals 26 km

Sliva [168]

Given data:

The given distance is d=26 km.

We know 1 kilometer is equal to approx 0.621 miles.

1km= 0.621 miles

Multiply the above expression with 26 on both sides.

26(1 km)= 26(0.621 miles)

26 km= 16.146 miles.

Thus, 26 kilometer is equal to 16.146 miles

Z 3 - 2z 2 + 9z - 18.

aev [14]

group the 1st 2 terms and last 2 terms:

(Z63 -2z^2) + (9z-18)

factor out GCF:

z^2(z-2) + 9(z-2)

now factor the polynomial:

(z-2) (z^2+9)
