Answer:

Slope is 5/17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the y's and put on top of a fraction. Subtract the x's and put on the bottom of the fraction. Simplify. Be sure to start with the x and y that go together in front of the minus sign and end with the other x and y behind the minus sign.

7 - 2 put 5 on top.

11 - -6 is 17 (because 11 - -6 is the same as 11+6)

So you get 5/17 and it cannot be simplified so it is your answer.

Answer:

5/17

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the slope formula:

m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

We have two points:

(x₁, y₁) = (11, 7) and (x₂, y₂) = (- 6, 2)

Substitute the coordinates into the slope formula:

m = (2 - 7)/(-6 - 11) = - 5 / - 17 = 5/17

Answer:

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is

P(x=0) = $e^{-0.08}$ = 0.923

Step-by-step explanation:

Poisson distribution:-

Explanation of the Poisson distribution :-

The Poisson distribution can be derived as a limiting case of the binomial

distribution under the conditions that

i) p is very small

ii) n is very large

ii) λ = np (say finite

The probability of 'r' successes = $\frac{e^{-\alpha }\alpha^r }{r!}$

Given the average number of typos ∝ = 0.08 per page.

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos that is = $p(x=0) = \frac{e^{-0.08 }\(-0.08)^0 }{0!}$

After calculation P(x=0) = $e^{-0.08}$ = 0.923

probability that a randomly selected page that contains only text will contain no typos =0.923

Explain why a two-dimensional net is useful for finding the surface area of a three-dimensional figure. Answer as soon as possib

Allushta [10]

A two-dimensional net is useful because it flattens the 3-d figure so that you can see all the faces of the figure. You can calculate the area of each face to find the surface area.

When planning his crops, Farmer Tim knows that his 7 acres can support peas and carrots. He wants to make $7,000 from his crops.

dsp73

This is the concept of algebra, we are required to get the equation that would be a constraint in the system of equation,
The total amount that the farmer want to make is $7000
amount he can make per acre of land is $2000, the amount he can make per acre will $1000. The variable representing peas and carrots are p and c retrospectively;
The total amount made from this can be represented by the equation below;
Total amount made by p acres of peas will be:
2000*p=$ 2000p
Total amount made by c acres of carrots:
1000*c=$1000c
Total amount will be given by:
2000p+1000c=7000

this can be simplified by dividing through by 1000 to get:
p+c=7

The correct answer is C.

Convert 28.7251° to degrees, minutes, and seconds. Round to the nearest second.

Leni [432]

28.7251 =

28 degrees

then take the decimal and multiply by 60 to get the minutes

so 0.7251 *60 = 43.506, use the whole number (43)

so now you have 28 degrees, 43 minutes

now take the remaining decimal ( 0.506) and multiply by 60

0.506*60= 30.36

when you have a decimal left over for the seconds, keep that as is.

so you now have 28 degrees, 43 minutes and 30.36 seconds

use ' for minutes and " for seconds

28 degrees 43' 30.36"
