Find an equation for the line that passes through the points (-2,-6) and (6,-4)

1 answer:

6 0

Slope of line
m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(-4--6)/(6--2)
=2/8
=1/4

Line in two point form
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y--2=(1/4)(x-6)
y+2=(1/4)(x-6)
simplify
4(y+2)=x-6 =>
x-4y-14=0
Alternatively, use the slope intercept form:
y--2=(1/4)(x-6) =>
y=(1/4)x - 3/2-2 =>
y=(1/4)x -7/2

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

6x - 3 = 5x + 5

Move variable to the left hand side and change their sign.

$\sf \: 6x - 5x - 3 = 5$

Calculate like terms.

x - 3 = 5.

Move constant to the right hand side and change their sign.

x = 5 + 3
x = 8

<u>Check our answer :-</u>

6x -3 = 5x + 5

plug the 8 as x.

6 ( 8 ) - 3 = 5 ( 8 ) + 5
48 - 3 = 40 + 5
45 = 45

LHS = RHS

A gardener is planting two types of trees:

Scrat [10]

It will take 4 years for these trees to be the same height

Step-by-step explanation:

A gardener is planting two types of trees:

Type A is 6 feet tall and grows at a rate of 12 inches per year

Type B is 2 feet tall and grows at a rate of 24 inches per year

We need to find exactly how many years it will take for these trees to be the same height

Assume that it will take x years for these trees to be the same height

Type A:

∵ The initial height of the tree is 6 feet

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ 6 feet = 6 × 12 = 72 inches

∴ The initial height of the tree is 72 inches

∵ It grows at a rate of 12 inches per year

∵ The number of years is x

∴ The height of the tree in x years = 72 + 12 x

Type B:

∵ The initial height of the tree is 2 feet

∴ 2 feet = 2 × 12 = 24 inches

∴ The initial height of the tree is 24 inches

∵ It grows at a rate of 24 inches per year

∵ The number of years is x

∴ The height of the tree in x years = 24 + 24 x

Equate The heights of the two types

∴ 72 + 12 x = 24 + 24 x

- Subtract 2 from both sides

∴ 48 + 12 x = 24 x

- Subtract 12 x from both sides

∴ 48 = 12 x

- Divide both sides by 12

∴ x = 4

It will take 4 years for these trees to be the same height

The mean number of daily surgeries at a local hospital is 6.2. Assume that surgeries are random, independent events. (a) The cou

Scilla [17]

Answer:

a) correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is 0.0536

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

mean number is given as 6.2

correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

we know that variance is given as $\sigma^2 = mean = 6.2$

hence, standard deviation is given as $\sqrt{6.2} = 2.48998$

thus standard deviation is 2.49

correct option is

Poisson distribution is 6.2 and standard deviation is 2.49

b) probability for only 2 or less than 2 surgeries in a given day is

$P(X \leq 2) = P(X =0) + P(X =1) + P(X =2)$

$= \frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^0}{0!} +\frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^1}{1!} +\frac{e^{-6.2} 6.2^2}{2!}$

= 0.002029 + 0.012582+ 0.039006

= 0.053617

= 0.0536
