Answer:

  C)  2/3x + 3y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The attached graph shows only choice C intersects the desired point.

Essentially, the given graph is irrelevant. What you want to know is which equation has (3/4, 5/6) as a solution.

There are at least a couple of ways you can figure this out:

  1. try the given point in the equations to see which one works
  2. examine the features of the given equations to see which might work

__

If we consider the second approach, we realize all of the equations have negative y-intercepts except choice C*. For an equation with a negative y-intercept to be the solution, the x-intercept must be less than 3/4. That is not the case for any of choices A, B, or D, leaving only choice C as a viable possibility.

We can check to see if the given point satisfies choice C. Filling in for x and y, we get ...

  (2/3)(3/4) + 3(5/6) = 2/4 +5/2 = 3 . . . . . . the point is on this line

_____

In the attached graph, choice C is the black line.

_____

* For an equation of the form ax+by=c, the y-intercept is c/b and the x-intercept is c/a. The sign of the quotient can be figured from the signs of a, b, and c without doing any division.

_____

<em>Comment on intercepts</em>

Considering the signs and values of the x- and y-intercepts can tell you a lot about the solution to a system of equations. They tell you where the line segment between the axes lies, and they can give you a clue as to the location (quadrant) of the intersection point of two lines. Often, the intercepts are all you need to create a useful graph of an equation.

Find the domain and the range of the relation. Determine whether the relation is a function.
Sauron [17]

It is not a function with domain as { 9 / 2 , 0} and range as {1 / 4, -4, 6}.

We are given a relation:

{(9 / 2, 1 / 4),(4 1 / 2, -4),(0, 5 / 6)}

We can also write it as:

{(9 / 2, 1 / 4),(9 / 2, -4),(0, 5 / 6)}

The domain of the relation will be:

Domain = { 9 / 2 , 0}

The range of the relation will be:

Range = {1 / 4, -4, 6}

We know that every function can be a relation but every relation cannot be a function.

A relation means the connection between the input and the output.

A function means that for every input there should only be one output.

Here, this relation is not a function because:

The input 9 / 2 has 2 outputs as 1 / 4 and -4 which is not possible in a function.

Therefore, we get that it is not a function with domain as { 9 / 2 , 0} and range as {1 / 4, -4, 6}.

Subtract the fractions and simplify the answer 7 8/9-5 3/5
weeeeeb [17]
One way in which to do this problem would involve subtracting 5 from 7 (result:  2) and then subtracting 3/5 from 8/9.
To subtract 3/5 from 8/9, you'd need to find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of 3/5 and 8/9, convert both fractions to have this LCD, and then subtract.

The LCD is (5)(9)=45.  Then 8/9 and 3/5 become 40/45 and 27/45.

Subtracting 27/45 from 40/45 results in the fraction 13/45.
Then the full solution is  2 13/45.

You could also do this problem by converting  7 8/9    and   5 3/5 into improper fractions:

71/9 - 28/5.  Again, the LCD is 45.  Can you rewrite both fractions with 45 as the common denominator and then perform the subtraction?

At a pizza resturant they have a choice of 20 toppings. If a customer choosea two topping pizza find the probability that they o
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer: The probability is 1/190 = 0.005

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of ordering two specific toppings out of 20 is:

For the first selection he can order 2 of them, peperoni or sausage, so the probability for the first selection is 2/20 = 1/10 (the number of correct options divided by the total number of options)

For the second selection we have only one option, because we assume that the other one was selected previously, here we also had a total of 19 toppings because one already was selected, the probability in this selection is 1/19.

The joint probability is equal to the product of those two probabilities:

P = (1/19)*(1/10) = 1/190 = 0.005
