Answer:

C) (0,5)

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) is y and x is x

The table is providing you with points

y-y over x-x gives you a slope of -5

Use the points and turn it into a point-slope equation and convert to y-intercept equation

y-15=-5(x+2)

y-15=-5x-10

y=-5x+5

So the y-intercept is 5 or (0,5)

What does (26/13).(-7)+14-4=

Bond [772]

Answer:

-4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Always start with the parenthesis. (26/13) = 2

2. Then multiply. 2*-7 = -14

3. After, you add 14 to your precious answer (-14) then subtract 4.

-14 + 14 = 0 - 4 = -4

Which equations represent the line that is parallel to 3x − 4y = 7 and passes through the point (−4, −2)? Select two options.

Elanso [62]

Answer:

2 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of a line is y=mx-b where m is slope and b is y-intercept.

The point-slope form of a line is y-y1=m(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is a point on the line.

The standard form a line is ax+by=c.

So anyways parallel lines have the same slope.

So if we are looking for a line parallel to 3x-4y=7 then we need to know the slope of this line so we can find the slope of our parallel line.

3x-4y=7

Goal: Put into slope-intercept form

3x-4y=7

Subtract 3x on both sides:

-4y=-3x+7

Divide both sides by -4:

$y=\frac{-3}{-4}x+\frac{7}{-4}$

Simplify:

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{-7}{4}$

So the slope of this line is 3/4. So our line that is parallel to this one will have this same slope.

So we know our line should be in the form of $y=\frac{3}{4}x+b$ .

To find b we will use the point that is suppose to be on our new line here which is (x,y)=(-4,-2).

So plugging this in to solve for b now:

$-2=\frac{3}{4}(-4)+b$

$-2=-3+b$

$3-2=b$

$b=1$

so the equation of our line in slope-intercept form is $y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

So that isn't option 1 because the slope is different. That was the only option that was in slope-intercept form.

The standard form of a line is ax+by=c and we have 2 options that look like that.

So let's rearrange the line that we just found into that form.

$y=\frac{3}{4}x+1$

Clear the fractions because we only want integer coefficients by multiplying both sides by 4.

This gives us:

$4y=3x+4$

Subtract 3x on both sides:

$-3x+4y=4$

I don't see this option either.

Multiply both sides by -1:

$3x-4y=-4$

I do see this as a option. So far the only option that works is 2.

Let's look at point slope form now.

We had the point that our line went through was (x1,y1)=(-4,-2) and the slope,m, was 3/4 (we found this earlier).

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Plug in like so:

y-(-2)=3/4(x-(-4))

y+2=3/4 (x+4)

So option 5 looks good too.

A study indicates that 37% of students have laptops. You randomly sample 30 students. Find the mean and the standard deviation o

Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The mean and the standard deviation of the number of students with laptops are 1.11 and 0.836 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X = number of students who have laptops.

The probability of a student having a laptop is, P (X) = p = 0.37.

A random sample of n = 30 students is selected.

The event of a student having a laptop is independent of the other students.

The random variable X follows a Binomial distribution with parameters n and p.

The mean and standard deviation of a binomial random variable X are:

$\mu=np\\\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}$

Compute the mean of the random variable X as follows:

$\mu=np=30\times0.37=1.11$

The mean of the random variable X is 1.11.

Compute the standard deviation of the random variable X as follows:

$\sigma=\sqrt{np(1-p)}=\sqrt{30\times0.37\times(1-0.37)}=\sqrt{0.6993}=0.836$

The standard deviation of the random variable X is 0.836.

£90 is divided between Mark, Henry & Gavin so that Mark gets twice as much as Henry, and Henry gets three times as much as G

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Mark gets £54

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Gavin share=x

Henry=3x

Mark=2(3x)

x+3x+2(3x)=£90

x+3x+6x=£90

10x=£90

x=9

Gavin=x=£9

Henry=3x

=3(9)=£27

Mark=2(3x)

=2(3*9)

=2(27)

=£54
