Answer:

y -1 = 5/6(x +8)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope equation of a line is ...

y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . line through point (h, k) with slope m

For point (-8, 1) and slope 5/6, the equation is ...

y -1 = 5/6(x +8)

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

If you want a line with slope -3/4 through the same point, change 5/6 to -3/4:

y -1 = -3/4(x +8)

What is the solution to the system of equations below?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

The solution is the point (18,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$y=-\frac{1}{3}x+6$ -----> equation A

$y=\frac{1}{3}x-6$ -----> equation B

Solve the system by substitution

substitute equation B in equation A

$\frac{1}{3}x-6=-\frac{1}{3}x+6$

solve for x

Adds (1/3)x both sides

$\frac{1}{3}x-6+\frac{1}{3}x=6$

$\frac{2}{3}x-6=6$

Adds 6 both sides

$\frac{2}{3}x=6+6$

$\frac{2}{3}x=12$

$x=12(3)/2\\x=18$

<em>Find the value of y</em>

substitute the value of x in equation A or equation B

$y=-\frac{1}{3}(18)+6=0$

therefore

The solution is the point (18,0)

Answer:

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

An uniform probability is a case of probability in which each outcome is equally as likely.

For this situation, we have a lower limit of the distribution that we call a and an upper limit that we call b.

The mean is:

$M = \frac{a+b}{2}$

The standard deviation is:

$S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}}$

Arrival time of 9:18 am and a late arrival time of 9:41 am.

9:41 is 23 minutes from 9:18. So the time is uniformily distributed between 0 and 23 minutes, so a = 0, b = 23.

Mean:

$M = \frac{a+b}{2} = \frac{0+23}{2} = 11.5$

Standard deviation:

$S = \sqrt{\frac{(b-a)^{2}}{12}} = \sqrt{\frac{(23 - 0)^{2}}{12}} = 6.64$

The mean is 11.5 minutes and the standard deviation is of 6.64 minutes
