Remember that a parallel line has the same slope...
So we already know the slope of the line containing point C is -4.

Using point slope equation, we can do...

y-y₁=m(x-x₁)
y-7= -4(x-4)
y-7- -4x+16
*Add seven to both sides...* y=-4x+23

There is you answer... hope this helps!

If a line is parallel to another line, both lines have the same slope. The slope of the line is -4, which means the slope of the parallel line would be -4.
Parallel lines never intersect, which means the y-intercept of the parallel line cannot be 5. The y-intercept of the parallel line is when x = 0. You know that one of the points of the new, parallel line is (4,7). So what happens if you use the slope to find the y-intercept? So you can take the point (4,7) and subtract 4 from the x-coordinate and add 16 to the y-coordinate (Remember, this is the slope because the change in y is 16, and the change in x is -4, making the slope -4). When you do this, then you get that the y-intercept is 23. Therefore, the equation for the line is y = -4x + 23.

We dont have to do any cmputing, because multiplying by 0 is always 0. Its mean that no matter what are the different numbers, if we multiply it by 0, we get 0

The result is 0

Gnesinka [82]

The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximately 0.5000.

The complete question is as below:-

A college basketball player makes 80% of his free throws. Over the course of the season, he will attempt 100 free throws. Assuming free throw attempts are independent, the probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is approximate:____________.

A) 0.2000

B) 0.2266

C) 0.5000

D) 0.7734

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Given that,

A college basketball player makes 80% of his free throws.

Over the course of the season, he will attempt 100 free throws.

Assuming free throw attempts are independent.

We have to determine,

The probability that the number of free throws he makes exceeds 80 is.

According to the question,

P(Make a Throw) = 80% = 0.80

number of free throws n = 100

Binomial distribution:

Mean: n x p = 0.80 x 100 = 80

Then, The standard deviation is determined by using the formula;
