Answer:  The required equation of the line is y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the equation of the line that is parallel to the following line and passes through the point (-2, 4) :

5x+2y=12~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We know that

the slope-intercept form of the equation of a straight line is given by

y=mx+c,

where m is the slope of the line.

From equation (i), we have

5x+2y=12\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=-5x+12\\\\\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x+6.

So, the slope of line (i) is given by

m=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

We know that the slopes of two parallel lines are equal. So, the slope of the new line will be

m=-\dfrac{5}{2}.

Since the line passes through the point (-2, 4), so its equation will be

y-4=m(x-(-2))\\\\\\\Rightarrow  y-4=-\dfrac{5}{2}(x+2)\\\\\\\Rightarrow y-4=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-5+4\\\\\\\Rightarrow y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Thus, the required equation of the line is y=-\dfrac{5}{2}x-1.

Stells [14]

Answer:

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of possible ways to choose 2 components for defectives out of 4 components = 4C2 = 6

Y can only take values of 2, 3 and 4

So, Probability of Y = P(Y) = 1C(Y-1) / 6

when Y = 2, P(2) = 1/6 = 0.167

when Y = 3, P(3) = 2/6 = 0.333

when Y = 4, P(4) = 3/6 = 0.5

One story with author and summary please​
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The story tells of a plain-looking little bird (the Ugly Duckling) born in a barnyard. His brothers and sisters as well as the other birds and animals on the farm tease him for being plain and ugly, so he runs off to live with a flock of wild ducks and geese until hunters shoot down the flock. Alone again, the Ugly Duckling finds a home with an old woman, but her cat and hen also tease him, so he doesn't stay there long.

In his wanderings, the Ugly Duckling comes across a flock of migrating swans, and he wishes to join them but can't because he's too young and can't fly well enough. When winter sets in, a farmer rescues the Ugly Duckling, but the farmer's children and other animals frighten him with their noise and teasing, so again, he flees. He spends a cold and lonely winter hiding in a cave until springtime, when the flock of swans comes to the lake near his hiding place.

When the Ugly Duckling approaches the swans, he's delighted to find that they accept him and treat him like one of them. When he looks at his reflection in the lake, he realizes, to his astonishment, that he's matured into a beautiful swan himself. When the swans fly off from the lake, he spreads his wings and joins them, finally having found a family who accepts him.
