Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = 3x + 2 is in this form with slope m = 3

• Parallel lines have equal slope

• The slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other

y = - $\frac{1}{3}$ x - 8 has slope m = - $\frac{1}{3}$

3 and - $\frac{1}{3}$ are negative reciprocals

This line is perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

y = 3x - 10 has slope m = 3

This line is parallel to y = 3x + 2

y = 2x + 4 has slope m = 2

This line is neither parallel nor perpendicular to y = 3x + 2

What is the slope of line which goes through the points (-2,-1) and (2,3)?

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(3-(-1))/(2-(-2))

m=(3+1)/(2+2)

m=4/4

m=1

Problem We can calculate EEE, the amount of euros that has the same value as DDD U.S. Dollars, using the equation E=\dfrac{17}{2

Tanzania [10]

Complete Question

We can calculate EEE, the amount of euros that has the same value as DDD U.S. Dollars, using the equation

E= 17/20 D

a) How many euros have the same value as 1 U.S. Dollar? euros

b) How many U.S. Dollars have the same value as 1 euro? dollars

Answer:

a) 0.85 euros

b) 1.18 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is given as:

E= 17/20 D

a) How many euros have the same value as 1 U.S. Dollar? euros

E = 17/20D

D = 1 dollar

Hence:

E = 17/20 × 1

E = 0.85 euros

b) How many U.S. Dollars have the same value as 1 euro? dollars

E = 17/20D

E = 1 euro

1 = 17/20D

D = 1 ÷ 17/20

D = 1 × 20/17

D = 1.1764705882 dollars

D = 1.18 dollars

Which equation correctly uses point (–2, –6) to write the equation of this line in point-slope form?

Lelechka [254]

$The\ point-slope\ form:\\\\y-y_1=a(x-x_1)\\-------------------\\\\(-2;-6)\to x_1=-2;\ y_1=-6\\\\therefore\\\\y-(-6)=a(x-(-2))\\\\y+6=a(x+2)$

The number of failures of a testing instrument from contamination particles on the product is a Poisson random variable with a m

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift is $P(X=0) \approx 0.8659$

The probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day is $P(X\geq 1 )\approx 0.3508$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability distribution of a Poisson random variable X representing the number of successes occurring in a given time interval or a specified region of space is given by the formula:

$P(X)=\frac{e^{-\mu}\mu^x}{x!}$

Let X be the number of failures of a testing instrument.

We know that the mean $\mu = 0.018$ failures per hour.

(a) To find the probability that the instrument does not fail in an 8-hour shift, you need to:

For an 8-hour shift, the mean is $\mu=8\cdot 0.018=0.144$

$P(X=0)=\frac{e^{-0.144}0.144^0}{0!}\\\\P(X=0) \approx 0.8659$

(b) To find the probability of at least 1 failure in a 24-hour day, you need to:

For a 24-hour day, the mean is $\mu=24\cdot 0.018=0.432$

$P(X\geq 1 )=1-P(X=0)\\\\P(X\geq 1 )=1-\frac{e^{-0.432}0.432^0}{0!}\\\\P(X\geq 1 )\approx 0.3508$
