The question also states that Lucy has a winning probability of 1/50, which means that she has 1 chance of winning if the total runners were 50. Therefore, there are 49 runners who may be faster than her.

The fact that Lucy is the 50th slowest runner, means that starting from the slowest she is in 50th position, therefore there are 49 runners that are slower than her.

The total number of runners will be the sum of those faster than Lucy, those slower than Lucy and Lucy:
49 + 49 + 1 = 99

There are 99 runners in Lucy's school.

Write an equation of a parabola in vertex form. Vertex (2,-3) and passes through (0,5)​
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of a parabola is given by  y = a(x - h)^2 + k, where (h, k) is the vertex.

Given vertex at (2,-3), h = 2, k = -3

y = a(x - 2)^2 + (-3) = a(x - 2)^2 - 3

The parabola passes through (0,5) so

5 = a(0 - 2)^2 - 3

5 = 4a - 3

4a = 8

a = 2

The parabola equation in vertex form:

y = 2(x - 2)^2 - 3

What is the equation of the line?<br> y=3x<br> Y=1/3x<br> Y=1/3x+2<br> Y=3x+2
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Y = 1/3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line increases by 1 unit then goes to right 3 units the line equation must have a slope of 1/3 and must have a y intercept of + 2 since the line crosses the Y axis at +2

Make a table of ordered pairs for the equation. y= 1/2x − 3
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Please enclose the fractional coefficient inside parentheses:  y= (1/2x) − 3 for greater clarity.

Make a table of ordered pairs:

x    y = (1/2)x - 3

0                   -3

1            (1/2)(1) - 3 = -2 1/2

3           (1/2)(3) - 3 = -3/2

The y-intercept is the point at which x = 0, and (from the table) is -3.  Plot a dark dot at (0, -3).

Now graph (3, -3/2), leaving a dark dot.

Draw a line thrugh (0, -3) and (3, -3/2).
