​ start fraction, 2, divided by, 7, end fraction of hitting the Captain's ship. If her ship has been hit, dread pirate Tiffany will always miss.
If the Captain and the pirate each shoot once, and the Captain shoots first, what is the probability that the Captain misses the pirate ship, but the pirate hits?

The probability is 1/7.

If the Captain shoots first, there is a 1/2 chance she will miss the pirate.  Since the pirate ship was not hit, there is a 2/7 chance she will hit the Captain.  The total probability is 1/2(2/7) = 2/14 = 1/7.

The length of a rectangle is 24 units. Can the perimeter x of the rectangle be 60 units when its width y is 11 units? A. No, the
Over [174]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2W + 2L.

Let's equate this to 60 units and substitute 11 for W and 24 units for L:

2(11 units) + 2(24 units) = 22 units + 48 units = 70 units.  NO (Answer A)

Find the equations of the following lines
White raven [17]

You need these two basic solutions and facts to find the equation of a line:

  • If you know the gradient m and one point (x_0,y_0):

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

  • If you know the gradient two points (x_1,y_1),\ (x_2,y_2):

\dfrac{x-x_2}{x_1-x_2}=\dfrac{y-y_2}{y_1-y_2}

  • The slope of a line is the coefficient m when you write it in the y=mx+q form
  • Parallel lines have the same slope
  • The slopes of perpendicular lines give -1 when multiplied

We can use this list to solve all the exercises:

b)

Use the first equation to get

y-1=-4(x-2) \iff y=-4x+9

c)

Use the second equation to get

\dfrac{x-4}{2-4}=\dfrac{y-2}{-1-2} \iff \dfrac{x-4}{-2}=\dfrac{y-2}{-3}\iff 3(x-4)=2(y-2) \iff 3x-12=2y-4 \iff 2y = 3x-8 \iff y = \frac{3}{2}x-4

d) same as c)

e) We derive the slope of the line by writing it as

5y = -x-15 \iff y = -\dfrac{1}{5}x-3

So, the slope is -1/5. From here, it's the same as b)

f) same as e)

g) Again we find the slope as

3x+y+2=0\iff y=-3x-2

so the slope is -3, and a perpendicular line has slope 1/3. From there, it's the same as b).
