Answer:

Pick two points on the line and determine their coordinates. Determine the difference in y-coordinates of these two points (rise). Determine the difference in x-coordinates for these two points (run). Divide the difference in y-coordinates by the difference in x-coordinates (rise/run or slope).

I don't know if you want an example?

Answer:

The slope of a line characterizes the direction of a line. To find the slope, you divide the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by the difference of the x-coordinates of those same 2 points.

Workers on the assembly line produce 4x + 6 boats each day. Which expression shows how many boats they produced in 12 days?

vagabundo [1.1K]

The answer would be A. If 4x + 6 is the number of boats made in 1 day, then multiplying that by 12 would give us the number of boats made in 12 days so the equation would look like this:
12(4x + 6)

Problem 8-4 A computer time-sharing system receives teleport inquiries at an average rate of .1 per millisecond. Find the probab

Sphinxa [80]

Answer: a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

Step-by-step explanation:

Problem 8-4 A computer time-sharing system receives teleport inquiries at an average rate of .1 per millisecond. Find the probabilities that the number of inquiries in a particular 50-millisecond stretch will be:

Since we have given that

$\lambda=0.1\ per\ millisecond=5\ per\ 50\ millisecond=5$

Using the poisson process, we get that

(a) less than or equal to 12

probability= $P(X\leq 12)=\sum _{k=0}^{12}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.9980$

(b) equal to 13

probability= $P(X=13)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{13}}{13!}=0.0013$

probability= $P(X>12)=\sum _{k=13}^{50}\dfrac{e^{-5}.(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0020$

(d) equal to 20

probability= $P(X=20)=\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^{20}}{20!}=0.00000026$

(e) between 10 and 15, inclusively

probability= $P(10\leq X\leq 15)=\sum _{k=10}^{15}\dfrac{e^{-5}(-5)^k}{k!}=0.0318$

Hence, a) 0.9980, b) 0.0013, c) 0.0020, d) 0.00000026, e) 0.0318

A refrigerator is shaped like a rectangular prism. The length is 27 inches, the width is 24 inches, and the height is 38 inches.

spin [16.1K]

SA = 2(wl+hl+hw)

Plug in what we know:

SA = 2((24)(27)+(38)(27)+(38)(24))

Multiply:

SA = 2(648 + 1026 + 912)

Add:

SA = 2(2586)

Multiply:

SA = 5172

Solve this system by substitution. y = 6x - 6 y = -4x - 6 *Remember to write your answer as a coordinate point (x, y).

Lisa [10]

Answer: (0, -6)

Explanation:
6x - 6 = -4x - 6
10x = 0
x = 0
y = 6(0) - 6
y = 0 - 6
y = -6
