There are 13 boys and 15 girls in Ms. Green’s 3rd period math class. Five girls and four boys have already been called on today.

If Ms. Green does not call on the same student twice, what is the probability the next student she calls on will be a girl?

The probability that the teacher will choose a girl would be 10/9. I it needs to be simplified it would be 1 1/9

How many blocks fill this prism?

zaharov [31]

Answer : 72 blocks

To find the answer, you have to find the volume of the prism. To find the volume you multiply the length, width, and height.

6 x 3 x 4 = 72

This gives you 72 blocks.

Answer:

$\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Center of the ellipse is, $(h,k)=(-4,-3)$

Minor axis length is, $2b=6$

A vertex of the ellipse is at (1, -3)

Now, distance between the center and the vertex is half of the length of the major axis.

Using distance formula for (-4, -3) and (1, -3), we get:

$a=\sqrt{(1+4)^2+(-3+3)^2}=5$

Therefore, the value of half of major axis is, $a=5$ . Also,

$2b=6\\b=\frac{6}{2}=3$

Now, equation of an ellipse with center $(h,k)$ is given as:

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1$

Plug in $h=-4,k=-3,a=5,b=3$ and determine the equation.

$\frac{(x-(-4))^2}{5^2}+\frac{(y-(-3))^2}{3^2}=1\\\\\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1$

Therefore, the equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{(x+4)^2}{25}+\frac{(y+3)^2}{9}=1$

What is the equation of the line that goes through (-5,0) and (-4,4)

Tasya [4]

Answer:

$y=4x+20$

Step-by-step explanation:

To write an equation, use the slope-intercept equation:

$y=mx+b$

M is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First, find the slope by using the slope formula for when you have two points:

$\frac{y(2)-y(1)}{x(2)-x(1)}=\frac{rise}{run}$

Rise over run is the change in the y-axis over the change in the x-axis. Substitute values:

$(-5,0)(-4,4)\\(-5(x1),0(y1))\\(-4(x2),4(y2))\\\\\frac{4-0}{-4-(-5)}$

Simplify parentheses (two negatives make a positive) and simplify:

$\frac{4-0}{-4+5}\\\\\frac{4}{1}=4$

The slope, m, is 4. Insert this information into the equation:

$y=4x+b$

Now, take one of the points and insert into the slope-intercept formula:

$(-5,0)\\(-5(x),0(y))\\\\0=4(-5)+b$

Solve for b, the y-intercept. Simplify multiplication:

$0=-20+b$

Add 20 to both sides and simplify:

$0+20=-20+20+b\\20=b\\b=20$

The y-intercept, b, is 20. Insert this value into the equation:

$y=4x+20$

Done.
