Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf y= -3x+5}}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -1) and has a slope of -3.

We are given a point and the slope, so we can use the point-slope formula.

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

In this formula, m is the slope and (x₁, y₁) is the point the line passes through.

The line has a slope of -3 and passes through (2, -1).

  • m= -3
  • x₁= 2
  • y₁= -1

Substitute the values into the formula.

y--1= -3 (x-2)

y+1= -3 (x-2)

Distribute the -3 on the right side. Multiply each term inside the parentheses by -3.

y+1 = (-3*x) + (-3*-2)

y+1=(-3x) + (6)

y+1=-3x+6

Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation to isolate the variable y.

y+1-1=-3x+6-1

y=-3x +5

The equation of the line is <u>y= -3x+5.</u>

Answer:

y=-3x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b

m=slope or gradient (=-3)

y=-3x+b  

Add your points

(2, -1)

-1=(-3 x 2)+b

-1= -6+b

-1+6=b

b=5

y=-3x+5

Solve for y in the given equation 2y - 24 = 14y <br> Answer are <br><br> 8y <br> -8y<br> -2 <br> 2
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we subtract 2y on both sides:

-24 = 12y

Then, we divide 12 on both sides:

y = -2

And we're done ^^ hope this helps!

A survey was conducted that asked 1003 1003 people how many books they had read in the past year. results indicated that x overb
kirill115 [55]
The confidence interval is

10.5\pm1.35 = (9.15, 11.85).  This means that we can be 99% confident that the mean number of books people read lies between 9.15 and 11.85.

To find the confidence interval, we first find the z-score associated with it:

Convert 99% to a decimal:  0.99
Subtract from 1:  1-0.99=0.01
Divide by 2:  0.01/2 = 0.005
Subtract from 1:  1-0.005 = 0.995

Using a z-table (http://www.z-table.com) we see that this is associated with a z-score between 2.57 and 2.58.  Since both are equally far from this value we will use 2.575.

We calculate the margin of error using

ME=z*\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}}&#10;\\&#10;\\=2.575*\frac{16.6}{\sqrt{1003}}=1.35

This means that the confidence interval is
10.5\pm1.35

The lower limit is given by 10.5-1.35 = 9.15.
The upper limit is given by 10.5+1.35 = 11.85

The ratio of workers to supervisors and factories 32 to 2. The ratio of male workers to female workers is 6 to 5. If there are 8
Margarita [4]

Answer:

The number of supervisor in the factory is 9 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The ratio of workers to supervisors and factories 32 : 2

let the number of workers = 32 x

And The number of supervisors = 2 x

The ratio of male workers to female workers is 6:5

Let The number of male workers = 6 y

And The number of female worker = 5 y

The number of female workers at the plant = 80

So, 5 y = 80

∴  y = \frac{80}{5}

I.e y = 16

So, The number of male workers = 6 y = 6 × 16 = 96

Thus The Total number of worker in the factory =  The number of male workers + The number of female workers at the plant

Or, The Total number of worker in the factory = 96 + 80 = 146

Now , Again

∵ The ratio of workers to supervisors in factories 32 : 2

So, The number of workers = 32 x

I.e 146 = 32 x

∴ x = \frac{146}{32} = 4.5

So, The number of supervisors = 2 x = 2 × 4.5 = 9

Hence The number of supervisor in the factory is 9 . Answer

manufacturing company produces digital cameras and claim that their products maybe 3% defective. A video company, when purchasin
alexdok [17]

Answer:

P(X>17) = 0.979

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability that a camera is defective, p = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

20 cameras were randomly selected.i.e sample size, n = 20

Probability that a camera is working, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.03 = 0.97

Probability that more than 17 cameras are working P ( X > 17)

This is a binomial distribution P(X = r) nCr q^{r} p^{n-r}

nCr = \frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

P(X>17) = P(X=18) + P(X=19) + P(X=20)

P(X=18) = 20C18 * 0.97^{18} * 0.03^{20-18}

P(X=18) = 20C18 * 0.97^{18} * 0.03^{2}

P(X=18) = 0.0988

P(X=19) = 20C19 * 0.97^{19} * 0.03^{20-19}

P(X=19) = 20C19 * 0.97^{19} * 0.03^{1}

P(X=19) = 0.3364

P(X=20) = 20C20 * 0.97^{20} * 0.03^{20-20}

P(X=20) = 20C20 * 0.97^{20} * 0.03^{0}

P(X=20) = 0.5438

P(X>17) = 0.0988 + 0.3364 + 0.5438

P(X>17) = 0.979

The probability that there are more than 17 working cameras should be 0.979 for the company to accept the whole batch
