If a point P(–1, –1) is reflected across the line y = –2, what are the coordinates of its reflection image?

1 answer:

8 0

Since the line of refrection is a horizontal line, the x-coordinate of the image will be the same as the x-coordinate of the point P(-1, -1). P(-1, -1) is one unit above the line y = -2, hence the image will be one unit below the line y = -2. Therefore the coordinate of the image is (-1, -3)

Answer:

5/32 (aka option A) should be the correct answer!

Step-by-step explanation:

ok so... its 5/32 who walks to school!

since there are 5 students who walked to school, and 32 students are in the class, 5/32 should be the correct answer!

Answer: Part a) $P(a)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

part b) $P(b)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}+\frac{r}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is calculated as follows:

We have proability of any event E = $P(E)=\frac{Favourablecases}{TotalCases}$

For part a)

Probability that a red ball is drawn in first attempt = $P(E_{1})=\frac{r}{r+w}$

Probability that a red ball is drawn in second attempt= $P(E_{2})=\frac{r-1}{r+w-1}$

Probability that a red ball is drawn in third attempt = $P(E_{3})=\frac{r-2}{r+w-1}$

Generalising this result

Probability that a red ball is drawn in [tex}i^{th}[/tex] attempt = $P(E_{i})=\frac{r-i}{r+w-i}$

Thus the probability that events $E_{1},E_{2}....E_{i}$ occur in succession is

$P(E)=P(E_{1})\times P(E_{2})\times P(E_{3})\times ...$

Thus $P(E)$ = $\frac{r}{r+w}\times \frac{r-1}{r+w-1}\times \frac{r-2}{r+w-2}\times ...\times \frac{1}{w}\\\\P(E)=\frac{r!}{(r+w)!}\times (w-1)!$

Thus our probability becomes

$P(E)=\frac{1}{\binom{r+w}{r}}$

Part b)

The event " r red balls are drawn before 2 whites are drawn" can happen in 2 ways

1) 'r' red balls are drawn before 2 white balls are drawn with probability same as calculated for part a.

2) exactly 1 white ball is drawn in between 'r' draws then a red ball again at $(r+1)^{th}$ draw

We have to calculate probability of part 2 as we have already calculated probability of part 1.

For part 2 we have to figure out how many ways are there to draw a white ball among (r) red balls which is obtained by permutations of 1 white ball among (r) red balls which equals $\binom{r}{r-1}$
