Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form.

Answer:

y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula m =\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}. Pick two points on the line and substitute their x and y values into the formula, then solve. I used the points (-5,-4) and (0,-6):

m = \frac{(-6)-(-4)}{(0)-(-5)} \\m = \frac{-6+4}{0+5} \\m = \frac{-2}{5} \\  

So, the slope of the line is -\frac{2}{5}.

2) Next, use the point-slope formula y-y_1 = m (x-x_1) to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute values for the m, x_1 and y_1 into the formula.

Since m represents the slope, substitute -\frac{2}{5}  in its place. Since x_1 and y_1 represent the x and y values of one point on the line, pick any point on the line (any one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values in those places. (I chose (0,-6), as seen below.) Then, with the resulting equation, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

y-(-6) = -\frac{2}{5} (x-(0))\\y + 6 = -\frac{2}{5} x\\y = -\frac{2}{5} x-6

A garden measuring 10 meters by 7 meters is going to have a walkway constructed all around the perimeter, increasing the total a
SashulF [63]

The width of the pathway is 3m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the pathway be 'w'

The area will be 130 square meters

The dimensions of the garden is 10 x 7

Area = (10+w) (7+w)

130 = 70 + 17w + w^2

w^2 + 17w - 60 = 0

w^2 +20w - 3w - 60 = 0

w ( w + 20) - 3 ( w + 20) = 0

(w + 20) (w - 3) = 0

w = -20 ( or) w = 3

w is the width and cannot be negative.

So, w = 3 meters

The width of the pathway is 3m

Consider the given density curve.
alisha [4.7K]

The Median of the density is -6.

An illustration of a numerical distribution with continuous results is a density curve. A density curve is, in other words, the graph of a continuous distribution. This implies that density curves can represent continuous quantities like time and weight rather than discrete events like rolling a die (which would be discrete). As seen by the bell-shaped "normal distribution," density curves either lie above or on a horizontal line (one of the most common density curves).

It is clearly visible from the uniform density curve given in the question that the median of the population density is  -6.
Because the area to the left and right of the density curve is the same.

Hence, the Median of density is -6.
