What is x if a line passes though (2,5) ( x,3)

Mathematics
1 answer:
antoniya [11.8K]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

(2,5)

(x,3)

m = 1/2

Formula

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

Solution

y2 = 3

y1 = 5

x2 = x

x1 = 2

1/2 = (3 - 5)/(x - 2)                 Cross multiply

1*(x - 2) = 2 (-2)                      Combine and remove the brackets.

x - 2 = - 4                               Add 2 to both sides

x = - 4 + 2

x = - 2

7. A battery manufacturer makes batteries that have a failure rate of .015. That is, 15 out of each 1,000 batteries are defectiv
azamat
The answer to this probability question is .86 or 86%. The probability that a batch of 10,000 batteries will contain at least 175 defective batteries is  86 percent. I calculated the failure rate of 10,000 batteries (10k*.015) and yielded 150, meaning there will be 150 batteries that will be defective in a set of 10,000. Then i divided 150 by 175 to get the probability.

An equation is shown below:
IrinaK [193]
5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15
               -15      -15     subtract 15 from each side
5(2x - 8) = -30
  ÷5             ÷5             divide both sides by 5
2x - 8 = -6
     +8    +8                   add 8 to each side
2x=2
÷2  ÷2                          divide both sides by 3
x = 1

Checking:
5(2(1)-8) + 15 = -15
5(-6) + 15 = -15
-30 + 15 = -15
-15 = -15             Correct! x=1
