we have

$2x+3y=-12$

Isolate variable y

$2x+3y=-12$

Subtract $2x$ both sides

$3y=-2x-12$

Divide by $3$ both sides

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x-4$

the slope m is equal to

$m=-\frac{2}{3}$

therefore

the answer is the option B

$-\frac{2}{3}$

Suppose the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes. De

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

The probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the random variable X represent the time a child spends waiting at for the bus as a school bus stop.

The random variable X is exponentially distributed with mean 7 minutes.

Then the parameter of the distribution is, $\lambda=\frac{1}{\mu}=\frac{1}{7}$ .

The probability density function of X is:

$f_{X}(x)=\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x};\ x>0,\ \lambda>0$

Compute the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning as follows:

$P(6\leq X\leq 9)=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\lambda\cdot e^{-\lambda x}} \, dx$

$=\int\limits^{9}_{6} {\frac{1}{7}\cdot e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=\frac{1}{7}\cdot \int\limits^{9}_{6} {e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}} \, dx \\\\=[-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot x}]^{9}_{6}\\\\=e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 6}-e^{-\frac{1}{7} \cdot 9}\\\\=0.424373-0.276453\\\\=0.14792\\\\\approx 0.148$

Thus, the probability that the child must wait between 6 and 9 minutes on the bus stop on a given morning is 0.148.

Its fairly straightforward. Since the bottom equation only has one unknown,x, because y=1.3, you can plug y in and solve for x. Once you find the value of x, you then have the value for two variables, x and y, and again have one unknown coefficient a. To solve for the coefficient you just plug in your y value (1.3) and your x value (which can be rounded to 0.42). Using a little bit of algebra, you can then solve for a which should be a=2.108. I am not sure if your teacher wants you to solve it this way but you could also use the elimination method or substitution method that you would of learned when discussing system of equations. But no matter which way you do it, the math follows the rules. Hope this helps. I’d suggest you solve it yourself to double check my work.
