Answer:

B. $y = x - 12$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change [slope]:

$\frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m$

$\frac{5 - 9}{-7 + 3} = \frac{-4}{-4} = 1$

Then use the Slope-Intercept Formula instead of the Point-Slope Formula because you get it done faster that way. It does not matter which ordered pair you choose:

−9 = 3 + b

−12 = b

$y = x - 12$

________________________________________________________________________________________________

−5 = 7 + b

−12 = b

$y = x - 12$

** You see? I told you it did not matter which ordered pair you choose because you will ALWAYS get the exact same result.

Suppose that in a casino game the payout is a random variable X . If X is positive, you gain money, if negative, you lose.

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

the conditional probability that X = 1 , X = 2 and X = 3 is 0.7333 (73.33%) , 0.25 (25%) and 0.0167 (1.67%) respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

a player wins money when i>0 then defining event W= gain money , then

P(W) = p(i>0) = p(1)+p(2)+p(3)

then the conditional probability can be calculated through the theorem of Bayes

P(X=1/W)= P(X=1 ∩ W)/P(W)

where

P(X=1 ∩ W)= probability that the payout is 1 and earns money

P(X=1 / W)= probability that the payout is 1 given money was earned

then

P(X=1/W)= P(X=1 ∩ W)/P(W) = P(X=1) / P(W) = p(1) /[p(1)+p(2)+p(3)] = 11/40 /(11/40+3/32+1/160 ) = 0.7333 (73.33%)

similarly

P(X=2/W)=p(2) /[p(1)+p(2)+p(3)] = 3/32 /(11/40+3/32+1/160 ) = 0.25 (25%)

P(X=3/W)=p(2) /[p(1)+p(2)+p(3)] = 1/160 /(11/40+3/32+1/160 ) = 0.0167 (1.67%)

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

WX = $\sqrt{74} \approx 8.6023253\\\\$
XY = $2\sqrt{37} \approx 12.1655251\\\\$
WY = $\sqrt{74} \approx 8.6023253\\\\$
Classify: Isosceles

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

Explanation:

Apply the distance formula to find the length of segment WX

W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)

X = (x2,y2) = (-3, -1)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10-(-3))^2 + (4-(-1))^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10+3)^2 + (4+1)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-7)^2 + (5)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{49 + 25}\\\\d = \sqrt{74}\\\\d \approx 8.6023253\\\\$

Segment WX is exactly $\sqrt{74}$ units long which approximates to roughly 8.6023253

-------------------

Now let's find the length of segment XY

X = (x1,y1) = (-3, -1)

Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3-(-5))^2 + (-1-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-3+5)^2 + (-1-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(2)^2 + (-12)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{4 + 144}\\\\d = \sqrt{148}\\\\d = \sqrt{4*37}\\\\d = \sqrt{4}*\sqrt{37}\\\\d = 2\sqrt{37}\\\\d \approx 12.1655251\\\\$

Segment XY is exactly $2\sqrt{37}$ units long which approximates to 12.1655251

-------------------

Lastly, let's find the length of segment WY

W = (x1,y1) = (-10,4)

Y = (x2,y2) = (-5, 11)

$d = \sqrt{(x_1 - x_2)^2 + (y_1 - y_2)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10-(-5))^2 + (4-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-10+5)^2 + (4-11)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{(-5)^2 + (-7)^2}\\\\d = \sqrt{25 + 49}\\\\d = \sqrt{74}\\\\d \approx 8.6023253\\\\$

We see that segment WY is the same length as WX.

Because we have exactly two sides of the same length, this means triangle WXY is isosceles.
