The equation in slope intercept form of a line that is a perpendicular bisector of segment AB with endpoints A(-5,5) and B(3,-3) is y = x + 2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given, two points are A(-5, 5) and B(3, -3)

We have to find the perpendicular bisector of segment AB.

Now, we know that perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of segment.

<em><u>The formula for midpoint is:</u></em>

\text { midpoint }=\left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2}, \frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2}\right)

Here x_1 = -5 ; y_1 = 5 ; x_2 = 3 ; y_2 = -3

\text { So, midpoint of } A B=\left(\frac{-5+3}{2}, \frac{5+(-3)}{2}\right)=\left(\frac{-2}{2}, \frac{2}{2}\right)=(-1,1)

<em><u>Finding slope of AB:</u></em>

\text { Slope of } A B=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

\text { Slope } m=\frac{-3-5}{3-(-5)}=\frac{-8}{8}=-1

We know that product of slopes of perpendicular lines = -1  

So, slope of AB \times slope of perpendicular bisector = -1  

- 1 \times slope of perpendicular bisector = -1  

Slope of perpendicular bisector = 1

We know its slope is 1 and it goes through the midpoint (-1, 1)

<em><u>The slope intercept form is given as:</u></em>

y = mx + c

where "m" is the slope of the line and "c" is the y-intercept

Plug in "m" = 1

y = x + c   ---- eqn 1

We can use the coordinates of the midpoint (-1, 1) in this equation to solve for "c" in eqn 1

1 = -1 + c

c = 2

Now substitute c = 2 in eqn 1

y = x + 2

Thus y = x + 2 is the required equation in slope intercept form

Every day, a comes to the bus stop at the same time, and boards the first bus that arrives. the arrival of the first bus is an e
mylen [45]
So the waiting time for a bus has density f(t)=λe−λtf(t)=λe−λt, where λλ is the rate. To understand the rate, you know that f(t)dtf(t)dt is a probability, so λλ has units of 1/[t]1/[t]. Thus if your bus arrives rr times per hour, the rate would be λ=rλ=r. Since the expectation of an exponential distribution is 1/λ1/λ, the higher your rate, the quicker you'll see a bus, which makes sense.

So define <span><span>X=min(<span>B1</span>,<span>B2</span>)</span><span>X=min(<span>B1</span>,<span>B2</span>)</span></span>, where <span><span>B1</span><span>B1</span></span> is exponential with rate <span>33</span> and <span><span>B2</span><span>B2</span></span> has rate <span>44</span>. It's easy to show the minimum of two independent exponentials is another exponential with rate <span><span><span>λ1</span>+<span>λ2</span></span><span><span>λ1</span>+<span>λ2</span></span></span>. So you want:

<span><span>P(X>20 minutes)=P(X>1/3)=1−F(1/3),</span><span>P(X>20 minutes)=P(X>1/3)=1−F(1/3),</span></span>

where <span><span>F(t)=1−<span>e<span>−t(<span>λ1</span>+<span>λ2</span>)</span></span></span><span>F(t)=1−<span>e<span>−t(<span>λ1</span>+<span>λ2</span>)</span></span></span></span>.

The answer to this question please.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Part A) y=1,100x + 4,500

Part B) 14,400

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A)

There is a base fee of $4,500, meaning that the line begins at y=4500 (i.e. The y-intercept is [0,4500], so 'b' in y=mx+b is 4,500). There is a $1,100 hourly rate, which is proportional to the value of x, the amount of hours filmed. Therefore, 'm' in y=mx+b is $1,100.

Thus, the final equation looks like:

y= 1,100x + 4,500

Part B)

x=9

y=1,100x+4,500

y=1,100(9)+4,500

y=9,900+4,500

y=14,400
