A line with the slope of -4 passes through the point (8,-3). What is the equation in point slope form

1 answer:

8 0

Y=Mx + c
The slope is given already so it will be :
Y=-4x+c
Now you can find C by replacing the given points

-3=-4(8)+c

C=9

Final answer is :

Y= -4x+9

Write an equation of the line that passes through the point(-6,-9) with slope -5

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

y = -5(x +6) -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of the equation for a line can be written as ...

y = m(x -h) +k

for a line with slope m through point (h, k).

You have m=-5 and (h, k) = (-6, -9). Filling in these values gives ...

y = -5(x -(-6)) -9

Simplifying a bit, you get ...

y = -5(x +6) -9

Express the vector ModifyingAbove Upper P 1 Upper P 2 with right arrowP1P2 in the form Bold v equals v 1 Bold i plus v 2 Bold j

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}=-5\textbf{i}-4\textbf{j}-6\textbf{k}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}=(P_2-P_1)\cdot(\textbf{i},\textbf{j},\textbf{k})=(-5-0)\textbf{i}+(-3-1)\textbf{j}+(-9-(-3))\textbf{k}\\\\\overrightarrow{P_1P_2}=-5\textbf{i}-4\textbf{j}-6\textbf{k}$

Find the mean, variance &a standard deviation of the binomial distribution with the given values of n and p.

MrMuchimi

A random variable following a binomial distribution over $n$ trials with success probability $p$ has PMF

$f_X(x)=\dbinom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$

Because it's a proper probability distribution, you know that the sum of all the probabilities over the distribution's support must be 1, i.e.

$\displaystyle\sum_xf_X(x)=\sum_{x=0}^n\binom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}=1$

The mean is given by the expected value of the distribution,

$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_xf_X(x)=\sum_{x=0}^nx\binom nxp^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^nx\frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle\sum_{x=1}^n\frac{n!}{(x-1)!(n-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{n-x}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=1}^n\frac{(n-1)!}{(x-1)!((n-1)-(x-1))!}p^{x-1}(1-p)^{(n-1)-(x-1)}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^n\frac{(n-1)!}{x!((n-1)-x)!}p^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^n\binom{n-1}xp^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}$
$\mathbb E(X)=\displaystyle np\sum_{x=0}^{n-1}\binom{n-1}xp^x(1-p)^{(n-1)-x}$

The remaining sum has a summand which is the PMF of yet another binomial distribution with $n-1$ trials and the same success probability, so the sum is 1 and you're left with

$\mathbb E(x)=np=126\times0.27=34.02$

You can similarly derive the variance by computing $\mathbb V(X)=\mathbb E(X^2)-\mathbb E(X)^2$ , but I'll leave that as an exercise for you. You would find that $\mathbb V(X)=np(1-p)$ , so the variance here would be

$\mathbb V(X)=125\times0.27\times0.73=24.8346$

The standard deviation is just the square root of the variance, which is

$\sqrt{\mathbb V(X)}=\sqrt{24.3846}\approx4.9834$
