7 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope : y2- y1 / x2 - x1

we have ( -5 , 1 ) which is ( x1 , y1 )

and ( -2 , 7 ) is ( x2 , y2 )

so; 7 - 1 / -2 - (-5)

Determine if events A and B are mutually exclusive.

gladu [14]

Answer:

A) Not mutually exclusive

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P(A) = \frac{1}{4}$

$P(B) = \frac{3}{5}$

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10}$

Required

Determine if they are mutually exclusive or not

Mutually exclusive are defined by:

$P(A\ or\ B) = P(A) + P(B)$

So, we have:

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{5}$

Take LCM

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{5+12}{20}$

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20}$

By comparing:

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{17}{20}$ ---- Calculated

$P(A\ or\ B) = \frac{7}{10}$ ---- Given

We can conclude that A and B are not mutually exclusive because:

$\frac{17}{20} \ne \frac{7}{10}$

I will give Brainiest if you are right

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

19.5º

Step-by-step explanation:

Every triangle is equal to 180º for all angles. So, you add 33.5 + 127 and subtract the sum by 180.

33.5 + 127= 160.5

180- 160.5 = 19.5

So, the angle F is 19.5º

Hope this helps !!

PLZ HELP! WILL MAKE A BRAINLIST <br>Which types of dilation are the given scale factors?

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given scale factor k

If k > 1 then expansion

If k < - 1 then expansion in the opposite direction

If 0 < k < 1 or - 1 < k < 0 then contraction

k = - 2 ← expansion in opposite direction

k = 1.5 ← expansion

k = $\frac{1}{4}$ ← contraction

k = - $\frac{6}{7}$ ← contraction
