Answer:

  5x -y = -37

Step-by-step explanation:

One way to find the coefficients A and B is to use the differences of the x- and y-coordinates:

  A = Δy = y2 -y1 = 2 -(-3) = 5

  B = -Δx = -(x2 -x1) = -(-7 -(-8)) = -1

Then the constant C can be found using either point.

  5x -y = 5(-7) -2 = -37

The equation of the line is ...

  5x -y = -37

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This approach comes from the fact that the slope of a line is the same everywhere.

  \dfrac{y-y_1}{x-x_1}=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\\Delta x(y-y_1)=\Delta y(x-x_1)\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\\Delta y(x-x_1)-\Delta x(y-y_1)=0\qquad\text{subtract y term}\\\\\Delta y(x) -\Delta x(y) = \Delta y(x_1)-\Delta x(y_1)\qquad\text{Ax+By=C form}

The "standard form" requires that A be positive, so we chose point 1 and point 2 to make sure that was the case.

The table below shows values for functions f(x) = g(x) <br> What are the solutions to f(x) = g(x)?
MakcuM [25]
The solutions to f(x) = g(x) are where the x-values for which the output f(x) is equal to the output of g(x).

What I mean by this is for instance, you input 7 into f(x) and g(x) and you get the same answer, then 7 is a solution.

Here, we are looking in columns two and three to see which rows are equal. It looks like when you input 0 into both f(x) and g(x), you get 2, and when you input 1 into both f(x) and g(x), you get 3. Therefore, (0,2) and (1,3) are your solutions.

A rectangle has an area of 96 cm2 The length of the rectangle is 4 cm longer than the width. Work out the length and width of th
Svetach [21]
Area of a rectangle: 2(L+W)
length: 4+W

Area: 2(4+W) + 2W = 96
8+2W+2W = 96
8+4W = 96
4W = 88
W= 22cm

Calculate for length: 2L + 2(22) = 96
2L + 44 = 96
2L = 52
L = 26cm

• The length is 26cm and width is 22 cm.

Find the probabilities for a standard normal random variable Z.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the attachment showing std normal curve symmetrical about y axis.

Equal probabilities on either side of the mean thus the total probability to the right of mean is 0.50

From the table we can find that

a) P(Z>2.5) = 0.5- area lying between 0 and 2.5

= 0.5-0.4938 =0.0062

b) P(1.2<z<2.2) = F(2.2)-F(1.2)

= 0.9861-0.3849

=0.6012
