Answer:

C) 7

===========================================

Work Shown:

Use the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

Plug in the given slope we want m = -5/3 and also the coordinates of the points. Then isolate r

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

-5/3 = (2-r)/(r-4)

-5(r-4) = 3(2-r) .... cross multiplying

-5r+20 = 6-3r

-5r+20+5r = 6-3r+5r .... adding 5 to both sides

20 = 6+2r

20-6 = 6+2r-6 ....subtracting 6 from both sides

14 = 2r

2r = 14

2r/2 = 14/2 .... dividing both sides by 2

r = 7

The slope of the line through (4,7) and (7,2) should be -5/3, let's check that

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-7)/(7-4)

m = -5/3

The answer is confirmed

Graph the line with slope -1/3 passing through the point (2, 1).
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

y = -x/3 + b

1 = -2/3 + b

b = 5/3

y = -x/3 + 5/3

An event is three times as likely as its complement. What is the probability of the event?
serg [7]
E = some event
C = complement of event E
Since the events are complementary, this means P(E)+P(C) = 1

We know that P(E) = 3*P(C) since "an event is three times as likely as its complement"

So we can replace P(E) with 3*P(C) and then isolate P(C)
P(E) + P(C) = 1
3*P(C) + P(C) = 1
4*P(C) = 1
P(C) = 1/4

The probability of the complementary event is 1/4
So the probability of the original event is 3/4 (three times 1/4)

Answer: 3/4

note: in decimal form, 3/4 = 0.75
