Write an equation of the line through each pair of points in slope-intercept form.
a(– 3,–2) and (–3,4)
b(3,2)and (–4,–5)
Answer and I will give you brainiliest
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (– 3, –2) and (–3, 4)
First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plug in these values:
(4 - (-2) / (-3 - (-3))
Simplify the parentheses.
= (4 + 2) / (-3 + 3)
Simplify the fraction.
(6) / (0)
= undefined
If your slope is undefined, it is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is x = #.
In this case, the x-coordinate for both points is -3.
Therefore, your equation is x = -3.
b) (3, 2) and (–4, –5)
First you want to find the slope of the line that passes through these points. To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Plug in these values:
(-5 - 2) / (-4 - 3)
Simplify the parentheses.
= (-7) / (-7)
Simplify the fraction.
-7/-7
= 1
This is your slope. Plug this value into the standard slope-intercept equation of y = mx + b.
y = 1x + b or y = x + b
To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, I will use the first point (3, 2). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.
2 = 1(3) + b
To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x(3)
2 = 3 + b
Now, subtract 3 from both sides to isolate b.
-1 = b
Plug this into your standard equation.
y = x - 1
This is your equation.
Check this by plugging in the other point you have not checked yet (-4, -5).
y = 1x - 1
-5 = 1(-4) - 1
-5 = -4 - 1
-5 = -5
Your equation is correct.
Hope this helps!
what is 32⋅(12)x+1=2x−14?
Answer:
[tex]x=-\frac{15}{382}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
32 × 12x + 1 = 2x - 14
384x + 1 = 2x - 14
384x + 1 - 1 = 2x - 14 - 1
384x = 2x - 15
384x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 15
382x = - 15
382x ÷ 382 = - 15 ÷ 382
[tex]x=-\frac{15}{382}[/tex]
The perimeter of the triangle below is .A 54 B 66. C 44. D 74. E 36.
Answer:
54
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an isosceles triangle since the base angles are the same. That means the unlabeled side must be 12
P = s1 + s2+s3 where s is the side
P = 12+12+30
P = 54
The two bottom angles are the same which means the two sides are also the same..
Perimeter = 12 + 12 + 30 = 54
Answer: A.54
total number of chocolate boxes that can be produced: x+y (<,<=,>,>=) ___
restrictions based on demand of each: y(<,<=,>,>=) ___x
maximum amount of white chocolate production: y(<,<=,>,>=) ____
minimum amount of milk chocolate production: x(<,<=,>,>=) ____
minimum amount of white chocolate production: y(<,<=,>,>=) ____
vertices of feasible region : (0,0)(400,___)(____,___)(___,0)
optimization equation: profit = ____x+____y
your maximum profit is $____ .you should produce ____ boxes of milk chocolate and ____ boxes of white chocolate .
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The idea here is to create lines according to the constraints we were given, graph the lines (which are actually inequalities), and then shade in the region that satisfies the inequality. Let's start at the beginning of the problem and we'll get our lines (inequalities) written.
The total number of boxes that can be produced according to the constraints is 800, so the inequality for that is
x + y ≤ 800 and solving for y:
y ≤ 800 - x
Another constraint on the white chocolate is that it has to be less than or equal to 200 boxes, so:
y ≤ 200
The max number of white chocolate boxes is half the number of milk chocolate, so:
y ≤ (1/2)x
The min number of milk chocolate boxes produced is:
x ≥ 0 and
The min number of white chocolate boxes produced is:
y ≥ 0 (This means that it is a possibility of making 0 milk chocolate boxes and all white chocolate boxes OR there is a possibility of making 0 white chocolate boxes and all milk chocolate boxes)
The production equation (which is used later) is:
2.25x + 2.50y (you make a profit of $2.25 on every milk chocolate box you sell and profit of $2.50 on every white chocolate box you sell).
The bold equations are the ones that need to be graphed (see graph below). Where those 3 lines intersect are the vertices of feasible region:
(0, 0), (400, 200), (600, 200), (800, 0).
Then take each x and y value from a coordinate and plug it into the profit equation (we don't need to use (0, 0)) starting with x = 400 and y = 200:
2.25(400) + 2.5(200) = $1400
Now using x = 600 and y = 200:
2.25(600) + 2.5(200) = $1850
Now using x = 800 and y = 0:
2.25(800) + 2.5(0) = $1800
So our max profit as seen by the evaluations is $1850, and that occurs when we sell 600 boxes of milk chocolate and 200 boxes of white chocolate.

Write an equation for a line containing (–2,8) that is perpendicular to the line containing the points (3,–4)and (–7,1).
Answer and I will give you brainiliest
Answer:
y = 2x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
the formula for a line is typically
y = ax + b
a is the slope of the line (expressed as y/x ratio describing how many units y changes, when x changes a certain amount of units).
b is the offset of the line in y direction (for x=0).
we have the points (3, -4) and (-7, 1).
to get the slope of the line let's wander from left to right (x direction).
to go from -7 to 3 x changes by 10 units.
at the same time y changes from 1 to -4, so it decreases by 5 units.
so, the slope is -5/10 = -1/2
and the line equation looks like
y = -1/2 x + b
to get b we simply use a point like (3, -4)
-4 = -1/2 × 3 + b
-4 = -3/2 + b
-5/2 = b
so, the full line equation is
y = -1/2 x - 5/2
now, for a perpendicular line the slope exchanges x and y and flips the sign.
in our case this means +2/1 or simply 2.
so, the line equation for the perpendicular line looks like
y = 2x + b
and to get b we use the point we know (-2, 8)
8 = 2×-2 + b
8 = -4 +b
12 = b
so, the full equation for the line is
y = 2x + 12
Answer:
2x-y+12= 0 or y = 2x+12 is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
slope of the line joining (3,-4) and (-7,1) is 1-(-4)/-7-3
= -5/10
= - 1/2
slope of the line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) = 2
Equation of the line line containing (-2,8) and that is perpendicular to the line containing (3,-4) and (-7,1) is y-8 = 2(x-(-2))
y-8 = 2(x+2)
y- 8 = 2x+4
y=2x+12 (slope- intercept form) or 2x-y+12= 0 (point slope form)
The number of calls received by an office on Monday morning between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM has a mean of 5. Calculate the probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.
Answer:
0.735 = 73.5% probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the mean during a time interval, which means that the Poisson distribution is used to solve this question.
In a Poisson distribution, the probability that X represents the number of successes of a random variable is given by the following formula:
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
In which
x is the number of sucesses
e = 2.71828 is the Euler number
[tex]\mu[/tex] is the mean in the given interval.
The number of calls received by an office on Monday morning between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM has a mean of 5.
This means that [tex]\mu = 5[/tex]
Calculate the probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.
This is:
[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4)[/tex]
In which
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3)[/tex]
So
[tex]P(X = x) = \frac{e^{-\mu}*\mu^{x}}{(x)!}[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 0) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{0}}{(0)!} = 0.0067[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 1) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{1}}{(1)!} = 0.0337[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 2) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{2}}{(2)!} = 0.0842[/tex]
[tex]P(X = 3) = \frac{e^{-5}*5^{3}}{(3)!} = 0.1404[/tex]
Then
[tex]P(X < 4) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) + P(X = 3) = 0.0067 + 0.0337 + 0.0842 + 0.1404 = 0.265[/tex]
[tex]P(X \geq 4) = 1 - P(X < 4) = 1 - 0.265 = 0.735[/tex]
0.735 = 73.5% probability of getting at least 4 calls between eight and nine in the morning.
Can someone help me on 6?
Answer:
66600 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
First draw a rectangle and draw a diagonal line in the middle. The line makes two triangles, and the line itself is the hypotenuse. So, to find hypotenuse, the formula is:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
The variable c defines the hypotenuse. Therefore:
a = 150
b = 210
Let's solve:
150^2 + 210^2 = c^2
22500 + 44100 = c^2
66600 = c^2
Therefore, in conclusion, the result we are getting is 66600 ft.

Answer:
30√74 ft or 258.070 ft rounded to three decimal places.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of a diagonal, add the square of the width and the square of the length together and find the square root of the sum.
d = √210² + 150²
d = √44100 + 22500
d = √66600
d = 258.069758 ft (This is the answer I got in six decimal places. Rounding it to three, as it says in the question, would be 258.07 ft, as 7 is greater than 5 (the third digit was 9 by the way).)
An exact answer to that, in radical form, is 30√74 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:
1
2(3x + 1) = 4(x + 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides
6x + 2 = 4x + 8 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
2x + 2 = 8 ( subtract 2 from both sides )
2x = 6 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 3
------------------------------------------------------------
2
6x = 4(x - 3) ← distribute parenthesis
6x = 4x - 12 ( subtract 4x from both sides )
2x = - 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = - 6
-----------------------------------------------------------
3
2(4x + 7) = 4x + 30 ← distribute parenthesis on left side
8x + 14 = 4x + 30 (subtract 4x from both sides )
4x + 14 = 30 ( subtract 14 from both sides )
4x = 16 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 4
---------------------------------------------------------------------
4
50 = - (y + 22) ← distribute parenthesis by - 1
50 = - y - 22 ( add 22 to both sides )
72 = - y ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
- 72 = y , that is
y = - 72

We are given that
[tex]a-3>b-3[/tex]
[tex]b>4[/tex]
We have to find that a and b are positive or negative.
We have
[tex]b>4[/tex]
It means b is positive and greater than 4.
[tex]a-3>b-3[/tex]
Adding 3 on both sides
[tex]a-3+3>b-3+3[/tex]

The mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in Manhattan is 2630. Assume the standard deviation is$500 . A real estate firm samples 100 apartments. Use the TI-84 Plus calculator.a) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $27007?b) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550? c) Find the 25th percentile of the sample mean. d) Would it be unusual if the sample mean were greater than $26457?e) Do you think it would be unusual for an individual to have a rent greater than $2645? Explain. Assume the variable is normally distributed.
Answer:
a) 0.0808 = 8.08% probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700.
b) 0.0546 = 5.46% probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550.
c) The 25th percentile of the sample mean is of $2596.
d) |Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.
e) |Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we need to understand the normal probability distribution and the central limit theorem.
Normal Probability Distribution
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
If |Z|>2, the measure X is considered unusual.
Central Limit Theorem
The Central Limit Theorem establishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex].
For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.
The mean monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment without a doorman in Manhattan is $2630. Assume the standard deviation is $500.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2630, \sigma = 500[/tex]
Sample of 100:
This means that [tex]n = 100, s = \frac{500}{\sqrt{100}} = 50[/tex]
a) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700?
This is the 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2700. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
By the Central Limit Theorem
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2700 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex]
[tex]Z = 1.4[/tex] has a p-value 0.9192
1 - 0.9192 = 0.0808
0.0808 = 8.08% probability that the sample mean rent is greater than $2700.
b) What is the probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550?
This is the p-value of Z when X = 2550 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 2450.
X = 2550
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2550 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.6[/tex] has a p-value 0.0548
X = 2450
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2450 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.6[/tex]
[tex]Z = -3.6[/tex] has a p-value 0.0002
0.0548 - 0.0002 = 0.0546.
0.0546 = 5.46% probability that the sample mean rent is between $2450 and $2550.
c) Find the 25th percentile of the sample mean.
This is X when Z has a p-value of 0.25, so X when Z = -0.675.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]-0.675 = \frac{X - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]X - 2630 = -0.675*50[/tex]
[tex]X = 2596[/tex]
The 25th percentile of the sample mean is of $2596.
Question d and e)
We have to find the z-score when X = 2645.
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{s}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{2645 - 2630}{50}[/tex]
[tex]Z = 0.3[/tex]
|Z| = 0.3 < 2, which means it would not be unusual if the sample mean was greater than $2645.

In a certain town, 22% of voters favor the construction of a new hospital. For groups of 21 voters, find the variance for the number who did not favor the new hospital.
a. 1.9 voters
b. 4.6 voters
c. none of the given answers is correct
d. 3.6 voters
e. 13 voters
Answer:
Variance = 3.6 voteres
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of favour voters, P = 0.22
Total number of voters, n = 21
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1 - P
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction = 1 - 0.22
The probability of voters who are in not favour of new hospital construction, P* = 0.78
Variance = n x p* x (1 - p*)
Variance = 21 x 0.78 x 0.22
Variance = 3.6 voters

Ted spends 35 minutes practicing the breaststroke every day.
Part C: It is not possible, as 45 + 65 isn't 50.
Step-by-step explanation:
22)A company ships computer components in boxes that contain 50 items. Assume that theprobability of a defective computer component is 0.2. Find the probability that the firstdefect is found in the seventh component tested. Round your answer to four decimalplaces.
Answer:
ok so they test 7 components so the probity of getting a bad one for each is 0.2 so we just multiply this 7 times
0.2*0.2*0.2*0.2*0.2*0.2*0.2=0.0000128
Hope This Helps!!!
The required probability will be 0.0000128 that the first defect is found in the seventh component tested.
What is probability?Probability is defined as the possibility of an event being equal to the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes.
We have been given that a company ships computer components in boxes that contain 50 items.
Assume that the probability of a defective computer component is 0.2.
As per the given condition, the required solution would be as:
They test seven components, and the probability of obtaining a defective one for each is 0.2, so we just multiply this by seven.
⇒ 0.2×0.2×0.2×0.2×0.2×0.2×0.2
⇒ 0.0000128
Thus, the required probability will be 0.0000128 that the first defect is found in the seventh component tested.

8 < x < 8.5 is your answer
other sides has to always be less than the hypotenuse
9514 1404 393
Answer:
0.5 < x < 16.5
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of the two shortest sides of a triangle must always exceed the length of the longest side.
If x and 8.0 are the short sides, then ...
x + 8.0 > 8.5
x > 0.5
If 8.0 and 8.5 are the short sides, then ...
8.0 +8.5 > x
16.5 > x
So, for the given triangle to exist, we must have ...
0.5 < x < 16.5
_____
Additional comment
You will notice that the value 0.5 is the difference of the given sides, and 16.5 is their sum. This will always be the case for a problem like this. The third side length always lies between the difference and the sum of the other two sides.
Write a polynomial equation of degree 4 that has the following roots: -1 repeated three times and 4
9514 1404 393
Answer:
0 = x⁴ -x³ -9x² -11x -4
Step-by-step explanation:
Each root r contributes a factor of (x-r). The factored form of the polynomial of interest is ...
0 = (x +1)³(x -4)
0 = (x³ +3x² +3x +1)(x -4)
0 = x⁴ -x³ -9x² -11x -4
Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3923 students classified as Juniors and find that 3196 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation. What is the 99 % confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation.
Answer:
The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation is (0.7987, 0.8307).
Step-by-step explanation:
In a sample with a number n of people surveyed with a probability of a success of [tex]\pi[/tex], and a confidence level of [tex]1-\alpha[/tex], we have the following confidence interval of proportions.
[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]
In which
z is the z-score that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{\alpha}{2}[/tex].
Suppose we take a poll (random sample) of 3923 students classified as Juniors and find that 3196 of them believe that they will find a job immediately after graduation.
This means that [tex]n = 3923, \pi = \frac{3196}{3923} = 0.8147[/tex]
99% confidence level
So [tex]\alpha = 0.01[/tex], z is the value of Z that has a p-value of [tex]1 - \frac{0.01}{2} = 0.995[/tex], so [tex]Z = 2.575[/tex].
The lower limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi - z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8147 - 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8147*0.1853}{3923}} = 0.7987[/tex]
The upper limit of this interval is:
[tex]\pi + z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}} = 0.8147 + 2.575\sqrt{\frac{0.8147*0.1853}{3923}} = 0.8307[/tex]
The 99% confidence interval for the proportion of GSU Juniors who believe that they will, immediately, be employed after graduation is (0.7987, 0.8307).
