The probability is just 1/2 that the disc will result with the white side landing up.
There are two sides to the disc. If they are equally likely to happen, then the chance of either side is 1/2. It does not matter which number the flip is.
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, so to turn that equation into slope-intercept you'll need to get y alone
4x - 8y = 8 --- subtract 4x
-8y = 8 - 4x --- divide by -8
y = -1 + (1/2)x --- reorder to match "mx + b"
y = (1/2)x - 1
in y = mx + b, "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept. so for part B, your slope is (1/2) and your y-intercept is (-1). take the sign with you.
for part C, you'll need to know point-slope form: (y - y1) = m(x - x1)
you'll also need to be aware that "perpendicular" lines have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original line.
the original slope is (1/2). change the sign to negative and form a reciprocal: your new slope is -2. plug that into your point-slope form
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - y1) = (-2)(x - x1)
and lastly, plug in your given point: (1, 2)
y - 2 = (-2)(x - 1)
so, just to look a little neater without all of the work:
A) y = (1/2)x - 1
B) m = (1/2), b = -1
C) y - 2 = (-2)(x - 1)
Answer:
option 2 is correct given diagrm
Answer:
We conclude that 84% of books are not best-sellers.
Step-by-step explanation:
A publisher estimates that 8 of every 50 books become national best-sellers.
Means 16% of books are best sellers.
- Because 16% of 50 books = 8 ∵ 16/100 × 50 = 8
Thus,
Bestseller books = 16%
Books that are not national best sellers = 100% -16% = 84%
Therefore, we conclude that 84% of books are not best-sellers.
