Answer:

A system of two equations can be classified as follows

Step-by-step explanation:

If the slopes are the same but the y-intercepts are different, the system has no solution. If the slopes are different, the system has one solution. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are the same, the system has infinitely many solutions.

want to find probability (P) x >= 13

x is N(14,1) transform to N(0,1) using z = (x - mean) / standard deviation so can look up probability using standard normal probability table.

P(x >= 13) = P( z > (13 - 14)/1) = P(z > -1) = 1 - P(z < -1) = 1 - 0.1587 = 0.8413

To convert that to percentage, multiply 100, to get 84.13%

Question 3.3. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation?

There is no equation

Question 4.4. What is the slope of the line represented by the equation 6x - 3y = 4?

Convert to slope-intercept form:

6x - 3y = 4

Subtract 6x to both sides:

-3y = -6x + 4

Divide -3 to both sides:

y = -6/-3x + 4/-3

Simplify:

y = 2x - 4/3

Now it's in slope intercept form, y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope. So the slope here is 2.

Question 5.5. What is the simplified form of the expression?

15y - 3(4y + 10)

Distribute -3 into the parenthesis:

15y - 12y - 30

Combine like terms:

3y - 30
