Using the point slope form y - y1 = m(x-x1)

m is the slope, because the lines are parallel the slope is identical, so m = -2.

Replace x1 and y1 with the given point and then solve for y:

y - 1 = -2(x-4)

Simplify:

y - 1 = -2x + 8

Add 1 to both sides:

y = -2x +9

A baseball player has a batting average of 0.26. What is the probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 at bats

LenKa [72]

Answer:

0.0016

Step-by-step explanation:

Batting average, p = 0.26

n = 7

x = 6

With p = 0.26 as success rate

1-p is equal to failure rate which is = 0.74

We have to solve this by using the binomial distribution formula.

P(X= x)

= nCx * p^x * (1-p)^(n-x)

P(X = 6)

=7C6 × 0.26^6 ×(1-0.26)^(7-6)

= 7 × 0.0003089 × 0..74¹

= 0.0016

So probability that he has exactly 6 hits in his next 7 bats is equal to 0.0016.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since BD is similar to GI, the ratio of the sides of the triangles is 27:3=9:1. This means that BC is 9 times larger than BH, or 4*9=36 units long. Hope this helps!

Find the value of w-9 given that –3w+5 = 2

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

$-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for $w$ given the equation, $-3w +5 = 2$ :

$-3w +5 = 2 \\ -3w +5 -5 = 2 -5 \\ -3w = -3 \\ \frac{-3w}{-3} = \frac{-3}{-3} \\ w = 1$

Solving for $w -9$ when $w = 1$

$1 -9 \\ -8$
