Line m passes through the points (4, 1) and (7, 3) while line n passes through the points (-3, 5) and (-9, 1). Which statement a

ccurately describes the relationship between the two lines?
A. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are perpendicular.
B. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are perpendicular.
C. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.
D. Lines m and n have opposite reciprocal slopes so they are parallel.

Answer: C. Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the the slope(m) of a line passing through points (a,b) and (c,d) is $p=\frac{d-b}{c-a}$

Thus, the slope of line m passes through the points (4, 1) and (7, 3) will be

$m_1=\frac{3-1}{7-4}=\frac{2}{3}$

The slope of line n passes through the points (-3, 5) and (-9, 1) will be

$m_2=\frac{1-5}{-9-(-3)}=\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}\\\Rightarrow\ m_2=\frac{2}{3}=m_1$

Therefore, Lines m and n have the same slope and if slopes of two lines are same then they are parallel.

Hence, Lines m and n have the same slope so they are parallel.

Conditional Probability

We use the conditional probability formula to solve this question. It is

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)}$

In which

P(B|A) is the probability of event B happening, given that A happened.

$P(A \cap B)$ is the probability of both A and B happening.

P(A) is the probability of A happening.

In this question:

Event A: Less than 15 minutes.

Event B: Less than 10 minutes.

We are given the following probability distribution:

$f(T = t) = \frac{3}{5}(\frac{5}{t})^4, t \geq 5$

Simplifying:

$f(T = t) = \frac{3*5^4}{5t^4} = \frac{375}{t^4}$

Probability of arriving in less than 15 minutes:

Integral of the distribution from 5 to 15. So

$P(A) = \int_{5}^{15} = \frac{375}{t^4}$

Integral of $\frac{1}{t^4} = t^{-4}$ is $\frac{t^{-3}}{-3} = -\frac{1}{3t^3}$

Then

$\int \frac{375}{t^4} dt = -\frac{125}{t^3}$

Applying the limits, by the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:

At $t = 15$ , $f(15) = -\frac{125}{15^3} = -\frac{1}{27}$

At $t = 5$ , $f(5) = -\frac{125}{5^3} = -1$

Then

$P(A) = -\frac{1}{27} + 1 = -\frac{1}{27} + \frac{27}{27} = \frac{26}{27}$

Probability of arriving in less than 15 minutes and less than 10 minutes.

The intersection of these events is less than 10 minutes, so:

$P(B) = \int_{5}^{10} = \frac{375}{t^4}$

We already have the integral, so just apply the limits:

At $t = 10$ , $f(10) = -\frac{125}{10^3} = -\frac{1}{8}$

At $t = 5$ , $f(5) = -\frac{125}{5^3} = -1$

Then

$P(A \cap B) = -\frac{1}{8} + 1 = -\frac{1}{8} + \frac{8}{8} = \frac{7}{8}$

If given the train arrived in less than 15 minutes, what is the probability it arrived in less than 10 minutes?

$P(B|A) = \frac{P(A \cap B)}{P(A)} = \frac{\frac{7}{8}}{\frac{26}{27}} = 0.9087$

Thus 90.87%, approximately 91%, and the correct answer is given by option D.
