<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>
  • Calculate the slope by using the rise over run with two given coordinate points.

<em>Note</em><em>:</em><em> </em><em>Origin</em><em> </em><em>point</em><em> </em><em>=</em><em> </em><em>(</em><em>0,0</em><em>)</em><em>.</em>

\begin{cases}(x_1, y_1) = ( - 4,  - 9) \\ (x_2, y_2) = ( 0,  0) \end{cases}

m =  \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}  \\ m =  \frac{0 - ( - 9)}{0 - ( - 4)}  \\ m =  \frac{0 + 9}{0 + 4}  \Longrightarrow  \frac{9}{4}

  • Slope-Intercept

y = mx + b \\  \begin{cases} \sf{m = slope} \\  \sf{b = y - intercept}  \end{cases}

Rewrite the equation by substituting m = 9/4 in the equation.

y =  \frac{9}{4} x + b

  • Find the value of b.

Because the graph passes through the origin point. That means the y-intercept is (0,0).

Therefore we rewrite the equation again to

y =  \frac{9}{4} x + 0 \\ y =  \frac{9}{4} x

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u>\large \boxed{y =  \frac{9}{4} x}</u>

You mow the lawn to earn your allowance. Each time you mow the lawn you earn \$12$12dollar sign, 12. Write an equation for the n
horrorfan [7]
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
 m: number of times you cut the grass
 d: amount of dollars you earn.
 We now write the linear equation that models the problem:
 d = 12m
 The slope of the line is 12, which means that each time you cut the grass, you earn 12 dollars.
 Answer:
 
an equation for the number of dollars, d, you earn when you mow the lawn m times is:
 
d = 12m

There are 42 students in an elementary statistics class. On the basis of years of experience, the instructor knows that the time
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

A) 0.99413

B) 0.00022

Step-by-step explanation:

A) First of all let's find the total grading time from 6:50 P.M to 11:00 P.M.:

Total grading time; X = 11:00 - 6:50 = 4hours 10minutes = 250 minutes

Now since we are given an expected value of 5 minutes, the mean grading time for the whole population would be:

μ = n*μ_s ample = 42 × 5 = 210 minutes

While the standard deviation for the population would be:

σ = √nσ_sample = √(42 × 6) = 15.8745 minutes

To find the z-score, we will use the formula;

z = (x - μ)/σ

Thus;

z = (250 - 210)/15.8745

z = 2.52

From the z-distribution table attached, we have;

P(Z < 2.52) ≈ 0.99413

B) solving this is almost the same as in A above, the only difference is an additional 10 minutes to the time.

Thus, total time is now 250 + 10 = 260 minutes

Similar to the z-formula in A above, we have;

z = (260 - 210)/15.8745

z = 3.15

P(Z > 3.15) = 0.00022

Find the coordinates of the image of point R(3, -5) rotated 180 degrees about the origin.
kolbaska11 [484]
180 degrees means that the new x=-x and the new y=-y so
x=3 and y=-5 is orignal
new is -3 and 5

so new oint is

What is 10^-10 in decimal form?
S_A_V [24]
10^-10 in decimal form is 0.000000001. Because the exponent is negative, you move the decimal point ( decimal point is at the end of 0 of the base number 10) 10 place to the right of 10 and u get the answer above. I discarded the 0 later in the answer because now that you've moved the decimal, that 0 have no value. But when forming it in decimal you have to use that 0 or you will get a wrong answer, instead of eight 0's, you will end up with nine 0's.
