A straight line passing through the point (-2,1) and having a gradient of -3 yields the equation y = -3x - 5.

We know that a straight line is an infinitely long line with no curves on it. A straight line's equation is

y = mx + c...(1), where m is the gradient of the straight line and c is a constant.

Given that the gradient of the given straight line = m = -3.

Putting this value in (1), we get

y = -3x + c ...(2)

Again, the given straight line passes through the point (-2,1). So, we can put x = -2 and y = 1 to get the value of the constant c.

So, 1 = (-3)(-2) + c

i.e. 6 + c = 1

i.e. c = 1 - 6 = -5

(2) can be written as

y = -3x - 5

Therefore the equation of the given straight line is

y = -3x - 5

Of the 100 entries in a costume contest, 39 entrants were dressed as heroes and 45 entrants were wearing a mask. If 21 entrants
ehidna [41]

Correct question with correct options has been attached

Answer:

37

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent those dressed as heroes and let B represent those wearing mask

Thus;

n(C) = 39

n(D) = 45

We are told that 21 entrants were dressed as heroes wearing a mask.

Thus; n(C n D) = 21

We are also told that there were a total of 100 entries.

Thus, n(T) = 100

Now, number of entrants neither dressed as heroes nor wearing a mask is given by;

n(T) - n(C u D)

n(C u D) = n(C) + n(D) - n(C n D)

n(C u D) = 39 + 45 - 21

n(C u D) = 63

Thus;number of entrants neither dressed as heroes nor wearing a mask is: 100 - 63 = 37
