Answer:

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃  

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Calculate the slope of EF

Assume E is at (-2, 5) and F is at (1, 3).

m₁ = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = (3 - 5)/(1 -(-2)) = -⅔

2. Calculate the slope of the parallel line

m₂ = m₁ = -⅔

3. Calculate its y-intercept

y = mx + b

6 =-⅔(2) + b

Simplify

6 = -⁴/₃ + b

Add ⁴/₃ to each side

b = 6 + ⁴/₃ = ¹⁸/₃ + ⁴/₃ = ²²/₃

The y-intercept is at (0,²²/₃).

4. Write the equation for the line

y = -⅔x + ²²/₃

The diagram shows EF in red. The parallel line in black passes through (2, 6) with a y-intercept at (0,²²/₃).

The largest possible circle is cut out of a square whose side length is 8 feet. What will be the approximate area, in square fee
valentina_108 [34]
<h3>Therefore the area of remaining board  =13.76 square feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , The length of side of the square is 8 feet.

Since a circle is inscribed in the square. Then the diameter of the circle is equal to the length of side of the square .

Therefore the diameter of the circle is = 8 feet.

Radius of the circle is(r) = \frac{8}{2} feet = 4 feet

The area of the circle is= 3.14 r²

                                       = 3.14 × 4² square feet

                                      = 50.24 square feet

The area of the square  is = side × side

                                          = 8×6 square feet

                                          =64 square feet

Therefore the area of remaining board = (64- 50.24)square feet

                                                                 =13.76 square feet

If you draw a card with a value of three or less from a standard deck of cards, I will pay you $43, If not, you pay me $11 (Aces
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

$1.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Required cards for winning :

1's, 2's and 3's

There are 4 cards of each in a total of 52 cards ;

Therefore, number of winning cards ;

(4 * 3) = 12 cards

Hence,

P(winning) = 12 / 52 = 3 / 13

P(not winning) = 1 - 3 /13 = (13 - 3) / 13 = 10/13

Earning (X)

Amount earned for winning = $43

Amount lost for not winning = $11

X ___ $43 ______ - $11

P(X) _ 3/13 _______ 10/13

Expected value, E(X) = ΣX*P(X)

Σ(X) = (43 * 3/13) + (-11 * 10/13)

E(X) = 9.9230769 - 8.4615384

E(X) = 1.4615385

E(X) = $1.46

Larry bought 2⁄3 pound of red potatoes and 3⁄4 pound of golden potatoes. How many pounds of potatoes did he buy in all?
Xelga [282]

Common denominator between 3 and 4 is 12. 2/3 becomes 8/12, and 3/4 becomes 9/12. Add them to get 17/12, which equals 1 and 5/12 lbs.
