Hi there!

First, let's find the slope of the two points using the slope formula (y2 - y1 / x2 - x1).

S = 4 - 2 / 3 - 5
S = 2 / -2
S = -1

Next, we'll plug in the slope and a point into point-slope form (y - y1 = s(x - x1)) in order to find an equation. I will show the work using both points, which will result in two different equations.

(2,5)
y - 5 = -1(x - 2)
y - 5 = -x + 2
y = -x + 7

(4,3)
y - 3 = -1(x - 4)
y - 3 = -x + 4
y = -x + 7

The two equations came out the same! Which is completely okay, and happens sometimes. 

Hope this helps!! :)

What does it mean to square a negative number​
Andrej [43]

Answer:

This is because to square a number just means to multiply it by itself. For example, (-2) squared is (-2)(-2) = 4. Note that this is positive because when you multiply two negative numbers you get a positive result.

The average lateness for one of the top airline companies is 10 minutes. The variance of the lateness measure is calculated as 9
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The z score for the airplane arriving 13 minutes after arrival time is 0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Using normal distribution,

The average lateness for one of the top airline companies is 10 minutes. So our mean, u = 10

The variance, s of the lateness measure is calculated as 9.

x =13 which stands for arrival time.

Using normal distribution,

z = (x - u)/s

z = (13 - 10)/9 = 3/9 = 0.33

The z score for the airplane arriving 13 minutes after arrival time is 0.33. The probability value of the z score can be found by looking at the Normal distribution table
