Answer:

y = (-3)\, x + 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that the equation should be in the slope-intercept form y = m \, x + c. The m and c in this equation are constants. In particular:

  • m\! would represent the slope of this line (also known as the gradient of this line,) whereas
  • c would be the y-intercept of this line.

The question states that the slope of this line is (-3). Therefore, m = -3. Thus, the equation for this line should be in the form y = (-3)\, x + c.

The value of constant c could be found using the other piece of information: the point (3,\, 1) is in this line. In other words, the solution \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} should satisfy the equation y = (-3)\, x + c.

Substitute \text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$} into the equation y = (-3)\, x + c and solve for c:

1 = (-3) \times 3 + c.

1 = -9 + c.

c = 10.

Hence, y = (-3) \, x + 10 would be the slope-intercept form of the equation of this line.

Given f(x)=5-3x, if f(x)=-19, find x
Dafna1 [17]

X would equal 8

Step-by-step explanation:

5-3(8) = -19

5 multiplied by negative 3 times 8 equals negative 19

negative 3 times 8 equals negative 24 plus 5 equals 19

Find the indicated probability. round to three decimal places. a test consists of 10
Charra [1.4K]

To answer this problem, we use the binomial distribution formula for probability:

P (x) = [n! / (n-x)! x!] p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

n = the total number of test questions = 10

<span>x = the total number of test questions to pass =   >6</span>

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

Given the formula, let us calculate for the probabilities that the student will get at least 6 correct questions by guessing.

P (6) = [10! / (4)! 6!] (0.5)^6 0.5^(4) = 0.205078

P (7) = [10! / (3)! 7!] (0.5)^7 0.5^(3) = 0.117188

P (8) = [10! / (2)! 8!] (0.5)^8 0.5^(2) = 0.043945

P (9) = [10! / (1)! 9!] (0.5)^9 0.5^(1) = 0.009766

P (10) = [10! / (0)! 10!] (0.5)^10 0.5^(0) = 0.000977

Total Probability = 0.376953 = 0.38 = 38%

<span>There is a 38% chance the student will pass.</span>

8. Find the value of x so that line mis parallel to line l. (1 p<br><br> (3x+21)°<br><br> (4x-7)
dybincka [34]

Answer: The value of x is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since line m is parallel to line l.

So, we assume that

(3x+21)° and (4x-7)° are corresponding angles.

And we know that , corresponding angles formed when a transversal cut the  parallel line are equal.

So, they must be equal to each other.

3x+21=4x-7\\\\21+7=4x-3x\\\\28^\circ=x

Hence, the value of x is 28.
