Answer:
x -2y -2=0
Step-by-step explanation:
using the formula, m= ( Y2 - Y1)/( X2-X1)
the gradient is found. the coordinates chosen are (2,0) and ( 0,-1)
the equation of the line is obtained using the formula
y -y1= m(x -x1)
The values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively
<h3>How to determine the true statement?</h3>
The function is given as:
16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1
The above function is a horizontal hyperbola.
A horizontal hyperbola that passes through the origin is represented as:

Rewrite 16x^2 - 25y^2 = 1 as

By comparison, we have:


Solve for a and b


Hence, the values of a and b are 1/4 and 1/5 respectively

Answer:
Yes, the company can expect a profit in the long term
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are to project if a company is expected to make a profit or loss given the information in the question.
Let’s use the scenario of 50 gadgets produced.
1 is expected to be faulty, while 49 is thus expected to work perfectly.
Now, on this 49 sold, there is an expectancy of $3 profit. Hence, this means that for a batch of 50 gadgets produced, the amount of expected profit will be 49 * 3 = $147
The amount that would be used to repair the faulty unit is $80. If we subtract this from the total expected profit, we have $147-$80 = $67
Hence, per 50 gadgets sold, a total of $67 in profit is to be expected
This means profit is expected in the long tey
