Find an equation for the line with undefined slope and passing through the point 9, -7

Mathematics

recall, slope = rise/run, and that a fraction is undefined when the denominator is 0, meaning this slope has a run = 0.

to make it short, when the slope is undefined, is a flag that we simply have a vertical line. Check the picture below.

(19,-9) (-7,-15) in slope intercept form

never [62]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{13}x-\frac{174}{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

slope:

$m=\frac{-15-(-9)}{-7-19} =\frac{-15+9}{-26} =\frac{-6}{-26} =\frac{3}{13}$

Equation, with the point (19, -9):

$y-(-9)=\frac{3}{13} (x-19)$

$y+9=\frac{3}{13} x-\frac{57}{13}$

$y=\frac{3}{13} x-\frac{57}{13} -9$

$-9=-9(\frac{13}{13} )=-\frac{117}{13}$

$y=\frac{3}{13}x-\frac{174}{13}$

Hope this helps

V is themidpoint of UW. If UV = x + 8 and VW = 9x, what is VW?

user100 [1]

Answer:

x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

If V is the midpoint of the line UW, that would mean that there's an equal distance between UV and 9x. So, the value of UV and VW would eed to be the same.

x+8=9x

8=8x

x=1

The above is 60 different ways, but now B C D E F G H I J have to come first, and the proses starts again, until we have covered them all. I'm not going to write them all out but in theory, there is 540 different ways. 9*60=540.

blondinia [14]

Answer:LetAbe the event that the person is taking the drug. We are told thatP(A) = 0.05.LetBbe the event that the person has migraines. We are told thatP(B) = 0.1.Further, we are told thatP(B|A) = 0.3. Using the rules for conditional probability,P(A|B) =P(A∩B)P(B)=P(B|A)P(A)P(B)=0.3·0.050.1=0.15.The probability that a migraine sufferer takes the drug is 15%.
