If line L in the xy-coordinate plane has a positive slope, what is the x-intercept of L ? (1) There are different points (a, b)

and (c, d) on line L such that ad = bc. (2) There are constants m and n such that the points (m, n) and (–m, –n) are both on line L.

Answer:

The x-intercept of L is 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  If (a,b) and (c,d) belongs to theline L, then the equation of the line using two-points formula  will be:

y-b=(\frac{b-d}{a-c} ).(x-a)

if we want to find the x-intercept of L we should set y=0.

0-b=(\frac{b-d}{a-c} ).(x-a)

getting x from that equation we will have :

x=-b.\frac{a-c}{b-d}+a

using distributive propertie and common denominator will be obtain

x= x= \frac{bc-ad}{b-d}

as we know that ad=bc the numerator will be equal to zero. Then x=0.

2) Using the same equation of line but using the points(m,n) and (-m, -n) we will set it as:

y-n=\frac{-2n}{-2m}.(x-m)

if we want to find the x-intercept of L we should set y=0.

0-n=\frac{-2n}{-2m}.(x-m)

getting x from that equation we will have :

-n=\frac{n}{m}(x-m)

x= -n.\frac{m}{n} + m

them

x = 0

The value of a rare baseball card A appreciated by 20 percent over a five year period; over the next five years, the value plumm
lbvjy [14]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

<em><u>Percent value of A with respect to Percent value of B is,</u></em>

30\%

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

In the question,

Let us say the value of the Baseball card A and B initially is = 100x

So, for Baseball card A in first 5 years percent increase = 20%

So,

Value after 5 years = 100x + 20% of 100x = 120x

<u>After 5 more years,</u>

Percent decrease = 50%

So,

<u>Value at the end of 10 years = 120x - 50% of 120x = 60x</u>

Now,

For Baseball card B, Percent increase in 10 years = 100%

So,

<u>Value of card B = 100x + 100% of 100x = 200x</u>

So,

<em><u>Percent value of A with respect to Percent value of B is,</u></em>

\frac{60x}{200x}\times 100=30\%

Bayes' theorem provides a way to transform prior probabilities into posterior probabilities. Group of answer choices True False
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bayes' theorem is indeed a way of transforming prior probabilities into posterior probabilities. It is based on the principle of conditional probability. Conditional probability is the possibility that an event will occur because it is dependent on another event.

The prior probability in this theorem is the present understanding we possess about the possible outcome of an event based on the current understanding we have about the subject. Posterior probability on the other hand is the new understanding we have of the subject matter based on an experiment that has just been performed on it. Bayes' Theorem finds widespread application which includes the fields of science and finance. In the finance world, for example, Bayes' theorem is used to determine the probability of a debt being repaid by a debtor.

Do not understand please help <br> Thank u
AysviL [449]

Answer:

43.4

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need to use the phythagoream therom, which is a² + b² = c².  Plug the values in for the variables to get 7² + b² = 44², (c would equal the hypothenuse because the hypothenuse is the longest side of the triangle.)  Square the values to get 49 + b² = 1936.  Subtract 49 from both sides to get b² = 1887, then take the square root of both sides to get b = 43.4 (rounded to the nearest tenth.)  

I am really sorry if I'm wrong, but have a good day/night!  :)
