Paralelll ines have same slope
in form
ax+by=c
slope=-a/b

point slope form
the equtaiotn of a line that passes through the point (x1,y1) and has a slope of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so
find slope

24x+8y=7
slope=-24/8=-3

a point is (-5,-8)

m=-3

y-(-8)=-3(x-(-5))
y+8=-3(x+5)
y+8=-3x-15
y=-3x-23

Marco created a table to help him represent the sample space of spinning a spinner and flipping a coin. Result of spin Result of

Svetradugi [14.3K]

The probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

Spinner has three colors that are red, green and yellow and coin has two sides that are head or tail.

<h3>What is the formula for probability?</h3>

Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes

The sample space is, ${(red - head; red - tail; green - head; green - tail; yellow - head; yellow - tail)}$ In total there are 6 ways to combine different colors with coin sides.

Therefore ,the probability that the result is green - tail is 1/6.

The length of a rectangle is 4 more than twice the width. The perimeter is 74 feet. Find the length and width of the rectangle.

mafiozo [28]

(2*length)+(2*width)=perimeter
length=4+2w
(2(4+2w))+(2(w))=74
74=(8+4w)+(2w)
74=6w+8
66=6w
w=11
length=4+2(11)
l=4+22
l=26
