Answer:

The equation in point-slope form is y-6=2(x-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the slope and a coordinate pair of a line.

  • Slope: 2
  • Coordinate Pair (x, y): (4, 6)

Therefore, we can now label our coordinate pair and substitute our values into the formula. Our formula is:

\displaystyle y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

We can label our coordinate pairs with the (x_1, y_1) labeling method.

Therefore, since our two coordinates are:

  • x = 4
  • y = 6

We can label 4 as x₁ and 6 as y₁.

Then, we are able to determine <em>m</em>, or our slope.

  • m = 2

Now, let's set up our equation.

\displaystyle y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\\\\y - 6 = 2(x - 4)\\\\y - 6 = 2x - 8\\\\y = 2x - 2

Therefore, our line is y = 2x - 2. However, the problem asks for it in point-slope form. So, this is exactly what we have in Step 2: y - 6 = 2(x - 4).

The average number of children a Japanese woman has in her lifetime is 1.37. Suppose that one Japanese woman is randomly chosen.
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

a. X: amount of children that a Japanese woman has in her lifetime.

b. X can take natural numbers (all positive integers) as values.

c. X~Poi(1.37).

d. P(X=0)=0.2541

e. P(X<1.37)=0.6022

Step-by-step explanation:

a) This can be modeled with a Poisson distribution.

We let the variable X be the amount of children that a Japanese woman has in her lifetime.

The parameter of the Poisson distribution is λ=1.37.

This is also the value of the mean and the standard deviation.

b) X can take all positive integer values.

c) X is modeled as a Poisson variable with λ=1.37.

d) This can be calculated as:

P(0)=\lambda^ke^{-\lambda}/k!=1.37^{0} \cdot e^{-1.37}/0!=1*0.2541/1=0.2541\\\\

e) Having fewer children than the average means that she has one or none children.

This can be calculated as:

P(X

If line b is perpendicular to line a, and linec
madam [21]
Since both lines c and b are perpendicular to line a, line c and b are parallel.

Using the two points on line b, we can count “up 5, right 5” to find the slope of line b to be 5/5 or 1.

Since line b has a slope of 1 and line c is parallel, it must also have a slope of 1.
