Answer:

f(x) = -7x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

m is slope

b is y-intercept

--------------------------

y decreases by 7 for each increase of 1 in x

slope = -7

to find "b" plug in one of the points and m = -7

using point (3, -20)

y = mx + b

-20 = -7(3) + b

-20 = -21 + b

b = 1

The equation is

f(x) = -7x + 1

liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

$3,000

Step-by-step explanation:

There two possible outcomes:

There is a 3/4 chance that the bid is rejected for a value of -$1,400

There is a 1/4 chance that the bid is accepted for a value of $17,600 - $1,400.

The expected value of the situation is:

$E = \frac{3}{4}*(-1,400)+\frac{1}{4}*(17,600-1,400)\\E=\$3,000$

The expected value is $3,000.

X^2+15^2=25^2
X^2+225=625
Isolate X
X^2=400
Take the square root on both sides
X=positive and negative 20 but in this case the negative is thrown out because you can't have a negative side
