Answer: y=-3/5x-4

Step-by-step explanation:

We can substitute this into point slope form, which is y-y1=m(x-x1).

y-(-1)=-3/5(x-(-5)

y+1=-3/5(x+5)

y+1=-3/5x-3

y=-3/5x-4

At a certain college, the ratio of men to women is 6 to 5. If there are 1,500 men, how many women are there?

Fed [463]

Let 6x represent the men

5x represents the women

The ratio of men to women is 6 to 5 or 6/5

6x / 5x = 1500/ W where W is the number of women

6/5 = 1500/W

W = 1250 women

In the square below, the two semi-circles are congruent. Find the area of the shaded region. If necessary, round your answer to

Jobisdone [24]

Let's start with the area of the square
$area \: square = s \times s = 8 \times 8 = 64$
now let's subtract the are of the two half circles.
two half circles are the same as one circle, and we know that the diameter of the circle is 8 (same as the side of a square) so it's radius is 8/2= 4 inches

$area \: circle = \pi {r}^{2} = \pi \times {4}^{2} = 16\pi$
now we just subtract and our answer is

$64 - 16\pi = 64 - 16 \times (3.14) = 13.73$

So we want calculation of 7C2

7C2 = 7!/[(2!)(7-2)!]

(7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/[(2*1) *(5*4*3*2*1]

(7*6)/2 ~ Note everything that easily cancels here!

42/2
