Answer:

-3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use rise over run. Since the line is going down you know it will be negative and basically you just count squares.

Which is an equation of the line that contains the points (0,2) (4,0)
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Y= -1/2x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

First, let's find what m is, the slope of the line...

The slope of a line is a measure of how fast the line "goes up" or "goes down". A large slope means the line goes up or down really fast (a very steep line). Small slopes means the line isn't very steep. A slope of zero means the line has no steepness at all; it is perfectly horizontal.

For lines like these, the slope is always defined as "the change in y over the change in x" or, in equation form:

So what we need now are the two points you gave that the line passes through. Let's call the first point you gave, (0,2), point #1, so the x and y numbers given will be called x1 and y1. Or, x1=0 and y1=2.

Also, let's call the second point you gave, (4,0), point #2, so the x and y numbers here will be called x2 and y2. Or, x2=4 and y2=0.

Now, just plug the numbers into the formula for m above, like this:

m=

0 - 2

4 - 0

or...

m=

-2

4

or...

m=-1/2

So, we have the first piece to finding the equation of this line, and we can fill it into y=mx+b like this:

y=-1/2x+b

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) points mean:

(0,2). When x of the line is 0, y of the line must be 2.

(4,0). When x of the line is 4, y of the line must be 0.

Because you said the line passes through each one of these two points, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: y=-1/2x+b. b is what we want, the -1/2 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the two points (0,2) and (4,0).

So, why not plug in for x and y from one of our (x,y) points that we know the line passes through? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the two points you gave!.

You can use either (x,y) point you want..the answer will be the same:

(0,2). y=mx+b or 2=-1/2 × 0+b, or solving for b: b=2-(-1/2)(0). b=2.

(4,0). y=mx+b or 0=-1/2 × 4+b, or solving for b: b=0-(-1/2)(4). b=2.

See! In both cases we got the same value for b. And this completes our problem.

The equation of the line that passes through the points

(0,2) and (4,0)

is

y=-1/2x+2

The mean annual inflation rate in the United States over the past 98 years is 3.37% and has a standard deviation of approximatel
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

38.59% probability that inflation rate will be below 1.9% in 2019

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 3.37, \sigma = 5

If the annual inflation rate is normally distributed, what is the probability that inflation rate will be below 1.9% in 2019?

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 1.9. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{1.9 - 3.37}{5}

Z = -0.29

Z = -0.29 has a pvalue of 0.3859

38.59% probability that inflation rate will be below 1.9% in 2019

Can somebody please walked through this, I'm so confused and I have a test in 6 hours...
erastova [34]

Answer:

Q3: x = 4, y = 4, z = 4

Q4: x = 6, y = 0, z = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Question 3: Simultaneous equations requires us to solve for x, y and z.

Since all three equations have a z in them, I will first solve for z.

Substitute in the first and third equation into the second equation.

First equation: x = 5z - 16

Second Equation: -4x + 4y - 5z = -20

Third equation: y = -z + 8

Substituting in x = 5z - 16 and y = -z + 8 for the x and y in the second equation.

-4(5z - 16) + 4(-z + 8) - 5z = -20

Expand

-20z + 64   - 4z + 32   - 5z = -20

Simplify and solve for z by putting all the numbers on one side and all the z's on the other side of the equals

-20z - 4z - 5z = -20 - 32 - 64

-29z = -116

z = -116/-29

z = 4

Substitute in this z value into the first and last equation and then solve for x and y

x = 5z - 16

x = 5(4) - 16

x = 20 - 16

x = 4

And

y = -z + 8

y = -(4) + 8

y = 4 (Its just a coincidence that they all equal to 4, I promise)

Question 5: A little bit harder of a question. Since the first and second equation both only have y and z, we can solve it using the elimination method.

Rearrange them so that the letters are on one side and numbers on the other side.

First equation: y + 6z = -24

Second equation: z + 2y = -4

I will choose to eliminate the y (You can choose either or)

Multiply the first equation by 2

2(y + 6z = -24)

2y + 12z = -48

Now that 2y is in both equations, we can minus one equation from the other to eliminate the y (I will minus the second from the first)

First Eq: 2y + 12z = -48

Second Eq: z + 2y = -4

2y - 2y = 0y

12z - z = 11z

-48 - (-4) = -44

Type these answers into a new equation

0y + 11z = - 44

Since y is 0, ignore it. Solve for z

11z = -44

z = -44/11

z = - 4

Substitute our z into either the first or second equation and solve for y (It doesnt matter which one you choose, I just did the second equation)

z + 2y = -4

(-4) + 2y = -4

2y = -4 + 4

2y = 0

y = 0

Substitute in our y and z values into the third equation and solve for x

-6x - 6y - 6z = -12

-6x - 6(0) - 6(-4) = -12

-6x - 0 + 24 = -12

-6x = -12 - 24

-6x = -36

x = -36/-6

x = 6
