Answer:

The probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability that a student is taking math =P(M)=33% =0.33

The probability that a student is taking computer science =P(C)= 62%=0.62

The probability that a student is taking math and computer science =P(M∩C)= 58%=0.58

So, the probability that a student is taking math or computer science i.e.P(M∪C)

So, Formula:P(A∪B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A∩B)

P(M∪C)=P(M)+P(C)-P(M∩C)

P(M∪C)=0.33+0.62-0.58

P(M∪C)=0.37

Hence the probability that a student is taking math or computer science is 0.37

Answer:

-64/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, the word "quotient" means the answer to a division problem. Therefore, its a division problem, so you have to work backwards with multiplication. -8 times a number is 5/8, so the other number is going to be negative.

The number is -64/5

Please help me !!!!!! I need help
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

  y +8 = -4(x -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

You recognize that the given equation is in slope-intercept form:

  y = mx + b

with m = 1/4 and b = 5.

A perpendicular line will have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of this value of m, so the desired slope is ...

  -1/m = -1/(1/4) = -4

The point-slope form of the equation for a line is ...

  y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . for slope m through point (h, k)

Using m=-4 and (h, k) = (8, -8), the point-slope form of the equation for the line you want is ...

  y +8 = -4(x -8)

A city planner wants to build a road parallel to 2nd Ave . What is the slope of the new road?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

By inspection or finding points, we see that 2nd ave is perfectly flat, or in other words, has slope of 0.

If line 1 is parallel to line 2, it means their slopes are the same.

So, the new road parallel to 2nd ave has a slope of \boxed{0}.
