Answer:

-3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

We want our equation to look like this

y=mx+b

we know that m= -3 so we just need to find b

We can start by plugging in the ordered coordinates into our equation

3=(-3)(-2)+b

Solve for b

3=6+b

b= -3

Which means our final equation is

y= -3x-3

trapecia [35]

Answer:

The answer is A: 5x + 10y > 30. That is, the combination of boxes must be greater than 30 since the requirement is to have more than 30 lb of nails.

Step-by-step explanation:

The worker can buy a combination of boxes, as long as the total is greater than 30 lb. Multiply 5 lb by x and add that to 10 lb times y to get the total, which must exceed 30 lb.

$\mathbb P(286$
$\mathbb P(286$

The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of any normal distributed data set lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

$\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

The same rule states that about 95% lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Using this rule, and the fact that any normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, you have

$\mathbb P(-2$
$0.95=2\mathbb P(-2$
$\implies\mathbb P(-2$

$\implies\mathbb P(-2$
