Answer:

$y = - \frac{3}{4}x - 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the equation of the straight line which has the slope equal to $- \frac{3}{4}$ and passes through the point (-4,-4).

As the slope of the equation is $- \frac{3}{4}$ , hence by slope-intercept form the equation of the straight line will be given by

$y = - \frac{3}{4}x + c$ .......... (1), where c is any constant which we have to evaluate from the given point on the line (-4,-4).

So, the point (-4,-4) satisfies the equation (1) and hence,

$- 4 = - (\frac{3}{4}) \times (- 4) + c$

⇒ - 4 = 3 + c

⇒ c = - 7

Therefore, the equation of the straight line will be

$y = - \frac{3}{4}x - 7$ (Answer)

Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don

Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

$nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}$

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

$_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

The formula can now be applied as follows;

$\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}$

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.

For nitrogen to be a liquid, its temperature must be within 12.78 °F of –333.22 °F. Which equation can be used to find the maxim

ziro4ka [17]

To determine the maximum and minimum temperatures at which nitrogen remains a liquid, use the equation |x - (-333.32)| = 12.78, where x is equal to the maximum and minimum temperatures. Using this equation, the maximum temperature is -320.54 degrees Fahrenheit while the minimum is -346.10 degrees Fahrenheit.
