Which of the following statements must be true in order for the line represented by the equation y = mx + b to have a negative x

-intercept?
The signs of the values of m and b are the same.

The value of m is positive while the value of b is negative.

The value of m is negative while the value of b is positive.

The signs of the values of m and b do not affect the sign of the x-intercept.

Answer:

Option A is correct

The signs of the values of m and b are the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept states that the graph crosses the x-axis.

Substitute y =0 and solve for x:

As per the statement:

Given the equation:

y=mx+b

where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

It is also given: A negative x-intercept

⇒negative x-intercept = (-x, 0)

substitute in [1] we have;

0 = -mx+b

Add mx to both sides we have;

mx = b

or

b = mx

Since, the sign of m and b are same.

Therefore, the  following statements must be true in order for the line represented by the equation y = mx + b to have a negative x-intercept is, The signs of the values of m and b are the same.

A committee of 15 members is voting on a proposal. Each member casts a yea or nay vote. On a random voting basis, what is the pr
Igoryamba

Answer:

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they vote yes, or they vote no. The probability of a person voting yes or no is independent of any other person. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Random voting:

So 50% of voting yes, 50% no, so p = 0.5

15 members:

This means that n = 15

What is the probability that the final vote count is unanimous?

Either all vote no(P(X = 0)) or all vote yes(P(X = 15)). So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15)

In which

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 0) = C_{15,0}.(0.5)^{0}.(0.5)^{15} = 0.00003

P(X = 15) = C_{15,15}.(0.5)^{15}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.00003

So

p = P(X = 0) + P(X = 15) = 0.00003 + 0.00003 = 0.00006

0.006% probability that the final vote count is unanimous.

Answer: (3,45) and (15,9)

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM x HCF = 45*3 = 135

so, the pairs which has HCF as 3 and LCM as 45 are (3,45) and (15,9)

What is the 185th digit in the following pattern 12345678910111213141516...?
Natalka [10]
1-9  = 9 digits
10-99 = 180 digits
So if we continue the pattern to 99, there are 189 digits, and the last 5 digits would be 79899.  Counting backwards: 189th = 9, 188th = 9, 187th = 8, 186th = 9, 185th = 7.

The 185th digit is 7.

Samantha trades through a broker. On December 12, Samantha purchased stock worth $2,500. Later in the day, she sold her stock in
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Broker's usually take a percentage of the money made or a fixed amount no matter how much is traded.

Here, the broker charges $10 per trade. So, it doesn't matter how much you do trade, the broker will charge $10 PER TRANSACTION.

Samantha bought stocks worth 2500 (1 transaction)

Samantha sold these again for 2750 (1 transaction).

So there were 2 trades made by Samantha.

So broker would charge $10 + $10 = $20
