Given that the number rolled is odd, it can be 1, 3, or 5 = 3 possibilities.

Only one of the possibilities is success . . . rolling a 3 .

So the probability of success is 1/3 = 33 and 1/3 percent .

1) find the equation of the line parallel to

In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

1) The equation of the line parallel to x-5y=6 and through (4,-2) is 5y = x -14

2) The equation of the line perpendicular to y= -2/5x + 3 and through (2,-1) is 2y = 5x -12

Solution:

1) find the equation of the line parallel to x-5y=6 and through (4,-2).

Given, line equation is x – 5y = 6

We have to find the line equation that is parallel to given line and passing through the point (4, -2)

Now, let us find slope of the given line.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-1}{-5}=\frac{1}{5}$

Now, we know that, slope of parallel lines are equal.

So, slope of required line is 1/5 and it passes through (4, -2)

Now, using point slope form

$y-y_{1}=m\left(x-x_{1}\right) \text { where } m \text { is slope and }\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right) \text { is point on line. }$

$y-(-2)=\frac{1}{5}(x-4) \rightarrow 5(y+2)=x-4 \rightarrow 5 y+10=x-4 \rightarrow x-5 y=14$

Hence, the line equation is 5y = x -14

2) find the equation of the line perpendicular to y= -2/5x + 3 and through (2,-1)

$\text { Given, line equation is } y=-\frac{2}{5} x+3 \rightarrow 5 y=-2 x+15 \rightarrow 2 x+5 y=15$

We have to find the line equation that is perpendicular to given line and passing through the point (2, -1)

Now, let us find slope of the given line.

$\text { Slope }=\frac{-x \text { coefficient }}{y \text { coefficient }}=\frac{-2}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}$

Now, we know that, product of slopes of perpendicular lines equals to -1.

So, slope of required line $\times$ slope of given line = -1

slope of required line = $-1 \times \frac{5}{-2}=\frac{5}{2}$

And it passes through (2, -1)

Now, using point slope form

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { Line equation is } y-(-1)=\frac{5}{2}(x-2) \rightarrow 2(y+1)=5(x-2)} \\\\ {\rightarrow 2 y+2=5 x-10 \rightarrow 5 x-2 y=12}\end{array}$

Hence, the line equation is 2y = 5x -12

What are the quadrants of the standard (x,y) coordinate plane below that contain points on the graph of the equation 4x - 2y = 8

miv72 [106K]

Answer: I III and IV

Step-by-step explanation:

The line intersects the x axis at (2,0) and the y axis at (0,-4) so the line goes through quadrants 1 3 and 4 so the answer is the middle or the 3rd from top
