Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

slope(m) = 1/4

(-1,-4)...x = -1 and y = -4

now sub and find b, the y intercept

-4 = 1/4(-1) + b

-4 = -1/4 + b

-4 + 1/4 = b

-16/4 + 1/4 = b

-15/4 = b

so the equation in slope intercept form is : y = 1/4x - 15/4

but we need it in general form : Ax + By + C = 0

y = 1/4x - 15/4.....multiply everything by 4 to get rid of fractions

4y = x - 15......subtract x and add 15 ...to both sides

4y - x + 15 = 0 <=== general form

Answer:

if it's area the area would be the length of the diameter of the semi circle which is the height of the triangle multiplied by the base of the triangle to find the area of the triangle then to find the area of the circle would be pie multiplied by the diameter divided by two squared

$\pi \ \times 7 {}^{2}$

then the total area would be the area of the triangle plus the area of the half circle

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. Two marbles are chosen from

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The expression would give the probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)$

Step-by-step explanation:

A bag contains eight yellow marbles, nine green marbles, three purple marbles, and five red marbles. So in total there are 25 marbles.

Hence,

Probability of getting yellow ball = $P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}$

Probability of getting red ball = $P(R)=\dfrac{5}{25}$

Probability that one marble is yellow and the other marble is red is,

$P(Y\cdot R\ And\ R\cdot Y)=P(Y)P(R)+P(R)P(Y)=\dfrac{8}{25}\cdot \dfrac{5}{25}+\dfrac{5}{25}\cdot \dfrac{8}{25}=0.128$

An artist agrees to paint a landscape painting at 0.30 per square inch. if the painting is 13 inches by 17 inches, how much shou

Yuri [45]

We know that
[area of the painting]=13 in* 17 in-----> 221 in²

if an artist painting at
$0.30 per --------------> 1 in²
x$--------------> 221 in²
X=221*0.30------> x=$66.30

the answer is
$66.30
