Answer:

y=2x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation looks like y=mx+b. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. The slope is already given to us, so m is 2.

To find b use the equation b=y_1-m*x_1. So, to find the y-intercept use b=-7-(2*-1). This equals b=-5.

So, plug in the values to get the final equation y=2x-5.

Answer:

y = 2x - 5

Explanation:

Since the slope is given as 2, we can substitute this into the equation:

y = 2x+b

Now, we can manipulate the point (-1,-7) to be in the form of a y-intercept - (0, y).

Note that a slope of 2 = 2/1, which means the rise = 2(which is added to the y) and run = 1(which is added to the x).

Adding this to our point of (-1,-7), we get:

((-1+1),(-7+2)) = (0, -5)

Therefore -5 is our y-intercept.

Now, substituting -5 into our equation, we get:

y = 2x + -5

allsm [11]

Answer:

1.00434

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Given a normal distribution ;

Mean (m) = 1.0 liter

Standard deviation (σ) = 0.01 liter

Sample size (n) = 25

For 97% sample means (sm) = 0.97

Z = (m - sm) / s

Zcrit = 1 - (100% - 97%)/2

Zcrit = 1 - (0.03/2)

Zcrit = 1 - 0.015 = 0.985

The z score which corresponds to 0.985 = 2.17

Upper limit : m + z*(σ/√n)

Upper limit : 1.0 + 2.17*(0.01/√25)

Upper limit : 1. 0 + 2.17*(0.01/5)

= 1.0 + 2.17*0.002

= 1.0 + 0.00434

= 1.00434

A rhino can run 28 miles per hour. What is that speed in feet per second, to the nearest whole number?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

A rhino runs at a speed of about 28 miles per hour.

We need to determine the speed in feet per second.

Converting miles to feet:

The miles can be converted to feet by multiplying 5280 with 28 miles per hour.

Thus, we have;

28 x 5280 = 14784028 × 5280 = 147840

Thus, the speed of the rhino in feet per hour is 147840

Converting hours to seconds:

The hours can be converted into seconds by dividing 147840 by 3600 (Because an hour has 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour)

Thus, we get;

Speed=\frac{147840}{3600}Speed=

3600

147840

Speed = 41.066667Speed=41.066667

Rounding off to the nearest whole number, we get;

Speed = 41

Therefore, the speed of the rhino is 41 feet per second.
