Answer:

y = 1/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1/2x + b

0 = -4 + b

b = 4

y = 1/2x + 4

keeping in mind that parallel lines have exactly the same slope, hmmm so what's the slope of the equation above?

\bf y = \stackrel{\stackrel{m}{\downarrow }}{\cfrac{1}{2}}x+6\qquad \impliedby \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} slope-intercept~form\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y=\underset{y-intercept}{\stackrel{slope\qquad }{\stackrel{\downarrow }{m}x+\underset{\uparrow }{b}}} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}

so, we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is 1/2 and runs through (-8 , 0)

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-8}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{0})~\hspace{10em} \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{1}{2} \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{0}=\stackrel{m}{\cfrac{1}{2}}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-8)}] \\\\\\ y=\cfrac{1}{2}(x+8)\implies y=\cfrac{1}{2}x+4

1. Calculate the area of the<br> figure below. Round to the<br> hundredths place when<br> necessary.
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The area is 88.39 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the area of the semicircle given that the diameter of the semi circle is 15 cm

We start by getting the radius

Mathematically r = D/2

= 15/2 = 7.5

Area of semicircle is area of circle/2

= (pi * r^2)/2

= (22/7 * 7.5^2)/2 = 88.39 cm

The probability that a student pilot passes the written test for a private pilot's license is 0.7. what is the probability that
zhenek [66]
<span>Probability = 0.063 Fourth try = 0.0973 Let X be the number of failed attempts at passing the test before the student passes. This is a negative binomial or geometric variable with x â {0, 1, 2, 3, . . .}, p = P(success) = 0.7 and the number of successes to to observe r = 1. Thus the pmf is nb(x; 1, p) = (1 â’ p) xp. The probability P that the student passes on the third try means that there were x = 2 failed attempts or P = nb(2, ; 1, .7) = (.3)2 (.7) = 0.063 . The probability that the student passes before the third try is that there were two or fewer failed attmpts, so P = P(X ≤ 2) = nb(0, ; 1, .7) + nb(1, ; 1, .7) + nb(2, ; 1, .7) = (.3)0 (.7) + (.3)1 (.7) + (.3)2 (.7) = 0.973 .</span>
