Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

y = mx + b Slope Intercept Form

Step 2:

y = 3x + b Input Slope

Step 3:

- 5 = 3 ( 2 ) + b Input x and y values

Step 4:

- 5 = 6 + b Multiply

Step 5:

- 11 = b Subtract 6 on both sides

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Hope This Helps :)

What is the slope of the line that passes through (-4, 6) and (-6, 20)?

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

-7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula

m = ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= ( 20-6)/(-6- -4)

= ( 20-6)/ ( -6+4)

= 14/-2

= -7

If Y varies directly as X and Y= 79 when X= 49, Find Y if X = 9

ryzh [129]

Answer:

y = 14.5

Step-by-step explanation:

given that y varies directly as x

mathematically,

y ∝ x

y = kx .............................................. where k is the constant of proportionality.

k = y /x

given that

y = 79

x = 49

k = 79/49

k = 1.61

to find y when x = 9

from

y = kx

y = 1.61 × 9

y = 14.5

therefore the value of y when x = 9 in ths variation is evaluated to be equals to 14.5

Joe earns $14 an hour and Blaine earns $18 per hour. Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months, and Blaine receives a raise

Katarina [22]

After 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine

Solution:

Given that,

Amount earned by Joe = $ 14 per hour

Amount earned by Blaine = $ 18 per hour

Lets assume the number of six month intervals be "x"

Joe receives a raise of $1.75 every six months

Therefore,

Joe earning: 14 + 1.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Joe earning: 14 + 1.75x ------- eqn 1

Blaine receives a raise of $0.75 every six months

Therefore,

Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75(number of six month intervals)

Equation for Blaine earning: 18 + 0.75x ------------ eqn 2

The number of six-month intervals it will take Joe to earn the same hourly rate as Blaine,

Eqn 1 must be equal to eqn 2

$14+1.75x = 18+0.75x\\\\1.75x-0.75x = 18-14\\\\1x = 4\\\\x = 4$

Thus after 4 interval of six months, Joe to earn same hourly rate as Blaine.

How many possible committees of 4 people can be chosen from 15 men and 20 women so that at least two women should be on each com

Mnenie [13.5K]

If there has to be 2 men and 2 women, we know that we must take a group of 2 men out of the group of 15 men and a group of 2 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 2) x (20 choose 2)

(15 choose 2) = 105

(20 choose 2) = 190

190*105 = 19950

Therefore, there are 19950 ways to have a group of 4 with 2 men and 2women.

If there has to be 1 man and 3 women, we know that we must take a group of 1 man out of the group of 15 men and a group of 3 women out of the group of 20 women. Therefore, we have:

(15 choose 1) x (20 choose 3)

(15 choose 1) = 15

(20 choose 3) = 1140

15*1140 = 17100

Therefore, there are 17100 ways to have a group of 4 with 3 women and 1 man.

We now find the total outcomes of having a group with 4 women.

We know this is the same as saying (20 choose 4) = 4845

Therefore, there are 4845 ways to have a group of 4 with 4 women.

We now add the outcomes of 2 women, 3 women, and 4 women and get the total ways that a committee can have at least 2 women.

19950 + 17100 + 4845 = 41895 ways that there will be at least 2 women in the committee
