Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = –5x + 3

slope of the given line by comparing with y=mx+b is

m= - 5

Concept is that the slope of parallel lines are equal so we need a line with slope same as m=-5

and passes through point (-6,3)

Equation using the point slope equation

y-3 = -5 (x-(-6))

y-3=-5(x+6)

y-3= -5x-30

y= -5x -27

A

You would need a new y-intercept in order for this to be parallel. So you use the points given and the slope and fill it in. 3=-5(-6)+b. 3=30+b. Then subtract 30 from both sides. -27=b. Then just put it all back into slope intercept form. y=-5x-27.

What are the coordinates of each point after quadrilateral ABCD is reflected across the y-axis and then translated 2 units down?
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

A" =(-1,-1)    B" =(-2,1)

C" =(-4,1)    D" =(-5,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A = (1,1)        B =(2,3)

C = (4,3)        D = (5,1)

Required

The new coordinates after reflected across y-axis and shifted 2 units down

When a point is reflected across the y-axis, the rule is:

(x,y)=>(-x,y)

So:

A = (1,1) => A' = (-1,1)

B =(2,3) => B' = (-2,3)

C = (4,3) => C' = (-4,3)

D = (5,1) => D' = (-5,1)

When a point is translated 2 units down, the rule is:

(x,y) => (x,y-2)

So:

A = (1,1) => A' = (-1,1) => A" =(-1,-1)

B =(2,3) => B' = (-2,3) => B" =(-2,1)

C = (4,3) => C' = (-4,3)=> C" =(-4,1)

D = (5,1) => D' = (-5,1) => D" =(-5,-1)

So, the new coordinates are:

A" =(-1,-1)    B" =(-2,1)

C" =(-4,1)    D" =(-5,-1)

Is 3/20 larger then 2
aleksley [76]
To find out is 3/20 is larger than 2 we will convert 3/20 to a decimal. Lets do it:- 

3/20
3 ÷ 20 = 0.15

Is 0.15 larger than 2?

No, 0.15 is not larger than 2.

So, 3/20 isn't larger than 2.

Hope I helped ya!! xD

A random sample of 250 juniors majoring in psychology or communication at a large university is selected. These students are ask
fenix001 [56]

Solution :

It is given that :

Number of students in a random sample majoring in communication or psychology at an university = 250

Total number of students majoring in psychology = 100

Number of students majoring in psychology  those who are happy = 80

So number of students majoring in psychology  those who are not happy = 20

Total number of students majoring in communication = 250 - 100 = 150

Number of students majoring in communication  those who are happy = 115

So number of students majoring in psychology  those who are not happy = 35

a). Probability of the students happy with their major choices are

    $=\frac{80+115}{250}$

    = 0.78

b). Psychology major $=\frac{80+20}{250}$

                                   = 0.4

c). Probability of the students who are happy with the communication as the choice of major = $\frac{115}{250}$ = 0.46

d). Students unhappy with their choice of major given that the student is psychology major = $\frac{20}{250}$  =  0.018
