Answer:

a) 0

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of the slope (m) for a line from two points is given as (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

we are given the points (3,-2) and (9,-2)

we can label the points:

x1=3

y1=-2

x2=9

y2=-2

now substitute into the equation:

m=(-2--2)/(9-3)

simplify

m=(-2+2)/6

m=0/6

m=0

the slope of the line is 0, which is option a

Hope this helps!

Answer:

79.77%

Step-by-step explanation:

P(X≥120) = normalcdf(120,1e99,130,12) = 0.7976716754 ≈ 0.7977 = 79.77%

Therefore, about 79.77% of operations last at least 120 minutes

The monthly cost of driving a car depends on the number of miles driven. Lynn found that in May her driving cost was $380 for 48

andrezito [222]

Answer:

$y=0.2x+284$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the distance driven, d-distance and C our constant.

Our information can be presented as:

$y=mx+c\\\\450=830x+C\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn 1\\\\380=480x+C\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ eqtn 2$

#Subtracting equation 2 from 1:

$70=350x\\x=0.2$

Hence the fixed cost per mile driven, $x$ is $0.20

To find the constant, $C$ we substitute $x$ in any of the equations:

$450=830x+C\ \ \ \ \ \ \ X=0.2\\\therefore C=450-830\times0.2\\=284$

Now, substituting our values in the linear equation:

$y=0.2x+284$ #y=cost of driving, x=distance driven

Hence the linear equation for the cost of driving is y+0.2x+284
