A line has a slope of -2 and contains the point (1,-1). What is the equation of this line

1 answer:

6 0

The equation would be -2x+1 because since the slope is 2 the slope intercept equation will help you find the y. Y=-2(1)+1

Suppose f '(x) = xe^−x^2

iogann1982 [59]

<h3>Answers:</h3>

(a) The function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)
(b) The function is decreasing on the interval (-infinity, 0)

=======================================================

Explanation:

You should find that the derivative is entirely negative whenever x < 0. This suggests that the function f(x) is decreasing on this interval. So that takes care of part (b).

The interval x < 0 is the same as -infinity < x < 0 which then translates to the interval notation (-infinity, 0)

Similarly, you should find that the derivative is positive when x > 0. So the function is increasing on the interval (0, infinity)

A candy company claims that 20% of the candies in its bags are colored green. Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects

Allisa [31]

Answer:

The probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of green candies.

The probability of green candies is, p = 0.20.

Steve buys 30 bags of 30 candies, randomly selects one candy from each, and counts the number of green candies.

So, n = 30 candies are randomly selected.

All the candies are independent of each other.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 30 and p = 0.20.

It is provided that if there are 5, 6, or 7 green candies, Steve will conclude that the company’s claim is correct.

Compute the probability of 5, 6 and 7 green candies as follows:

$P(X=5)={30\choose 5}(0.20)^{5}(1-0.20)^{30-5}=0.17228\\\\P(X=6)={30\choose 6}(0.20)^{6}(1-0.20)^{30-6}=0.17946\\\\P(X=7)={30\choose 7}(0.20)^{7}(1-0.20)^{30-7}=0.15328$

Then the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is:

P (Accepting the claim) = P (X = 5) + P (X = 6) + P (X = 7)

= 0.17228 + 0.17946 + 0.15328

= 0.50502

Thus, the probability of Steve agreeing with the company’s claim is 0.50502.

Consider the equation y= -2x -3.

Alona [7]

Part A

The graph is shown below as an attached image.

The diagram shows a straight line that goes through the two points (0,-3) and (1, -5)

I'm using GeoGebra to graph the line.

side note: (0, -3) is the y intercept which is where the graph crosses the y axis.

==================================================

Part B

Answer is choice 2

The graph can be written in the form y = mx+b, so it is linear

In this case, m = -2 is the slope and b = -3 is the y intercept

We can write the slope as m = -2 = -2/1. This tells us that we can move down 2 units and then over to the right 1 units to get from point to point. This process of "down 2, over to the right 1" happens when moving from point A to point B in the diagram below.
