Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Y = mx + b

slope(m) = 3/4

(3,7)...x = 3 and y = 7

now we sub...we r looking for b, the y int

7 = 3/4(3) + b

7 = 9/4 + b

7 - 9/4 = b

28/4 - 9/4 = b

19/4 = b

equation is : y = 3/4x + 19/4...lets put this in standard form

y = 3/4x + 19/4

-3/4x + y = 19/4...multiply by -4

3x - 4y = -19 <== standard form

if (x,5) is on the line

3x - 4y = -19.....sub in 5 for y

3x - 4(5) = -19

3x - 20 = -19

3x = -19 + 20

3x = 1

x = 1/3 <====so point a = (1/3,5)

what is the probability of hitting each target if it is assumed that a player’s throw will always hit the board? hint: the proba
solong [7]
Because the actual dimensions of the board and the target are missing, let us supply the missing values. 

Let:

radius of board = 6 inches
radius of target = 2 inches

Area of board = pi * r^2 = pi*6^2 = 36pi
Area of target = pi * r^2 = pi*2^2 = 4pi

Probability of hitting the target = 4pi / 36pi = 1/9

Therefore, there is a 1/9 chance of hitting the target on the board.

Shown here is the graph of which inequality? Please can’t figure it out I need SOME HELP
Annette [7]

Hey there!

Three points to keep in mind!

  • The given options are in standard form: ax+by=c
  • The line is a solid line, hence, the possible outcomes would be ≤ or ≥
  • The shaded part is above the line, hence, the symbol would be ≥

First, let's find the slope:

Slope : (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Slope : (0-3)/(2-0)

Slope : -3/2

Looking at line, we know that the y-intercept is 3 b=3

Slope intercept form:

<em>y≥(-3/2)x+3 </em>

Let's now convert this into a standard form:

<em>(3/2)x+y≥3 </em>

<em>Multiplying all the sides with 2: </em>

<em>Remember that the coefficient of 'x' shall not be negative or a fraction!</em>

<em>3x+2y≥6 </em><em>is the final answer!</em>
