    MHB Help converting two standard form equations to slope intercept form?

    Hi guys, I have a few tries at this but I keep coming up wrong, so can anyone show me how to convert these two standard form equations into slope intercept form? 2x - 11y = 2, -6x + 3y = 9. Greatly appreciate any help offered :) Thank you!

    From Aeon to Zeon to Zeit, simplifying the standard cosmic model

    This is take 2.0 of the earlier thread, which got a lot of help from George J., Jorrie, Wabbit, Ken G, and others. I'm exploring this simplification of the flat matter-dominated ΛCDM model (basically anything after year 1 million) to see if there is a presentation that would be suitable for PF...

    Coin Toss net gain standard deviation

    When tossing a fair coin 1000 times a player correctly predicts 532 outcomes. Then I think I am right in saying that result is about + 2 Standard Deviations from the mean. sqr root 1000 x .5 x .5 = 15.81. 32/15.81= 2.02.However, if the results of the coin toss are given by a Net Gain/ Loss...

    Where can I get standard data for motion time study?

    I'm working on a school project (Plant layout). In the project, I'm in the planning phase of a new product and I need to have some standard data for motion time study (i.e. assembling) to determine equipment, space and people needed in the plant. Where can I find such data?

    How can standard enthelpy values be negative?

    Certain aqueous ions have negative values for SO, such as Ca2+ with -55.2 J/(K*mol); how is this possible when dissolution is usually an increase in entropy? Also, all pure elements seem to have positive standard entropy value; why is this the case? Thank you.

    What is responsible for force in the standard model?

    It is touted that modern physics has discovered what is actually responsible for force which are particles. Yet, the force responsible for EM is "virtual" particles and then you have the "W" particle in Electroweak. So it seems the issue is not all that clear. I know how the math works, but I am...

    Mapping of the standard k-simplex in R^n to X
