Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Line segment AB consists of segment AC and segment CB.

AC = 7 cm

CB = 21 cm

The entire segment, AB = 21 + 7 = 28cm

The ratio of the segments partitions can be stated as follows:

Ratio of AC to CB = AC:CB = 7:21 = 1:3 = $\frac{1}{3}$

AC is ¼ of AB $(\frac{1}{1 + 3} = \frac{1}{4})$

CB is ¾ of AB $(\frac{3}{1 + 3} = \frac{3}{4})$

What is the point slope of the line when slope is -4 and the given coordinates are (4,-9)

Lina20 [59]

The point-slope form of the equation of a straight line is:

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

We have:

$m=-4\\(4;-9)\to x_1=4;\ y_1=-9$

Substitute:

$y-(-9)=-4(x-4)\\\\\boxed{y+9=-4(x-4)}$

There are 3 red marbles, 5 green marbles, and 2 blue marbles in a jar. Event A is defined as drawing a red marble from the jar o

Anastaziya [24]

P(B/A) is $\frac{5}{9}$ in the simplest form

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us explain how to solve the problem

P(B|A) is called the "Conditional Probability" of B given A
Conditional probability is the probability of one event occurring with some relationship to one or more other events that means event A has already happened, now what is the chance of event B
The formula for conditional probability is P(B|A) = P(A and B)/P(A), where P(A and B) is P(A) . P(B given A occurred)

∵ There are 3 red marbles, 5 green marbles, and 2 blue

marbles in the jar

∴ The total number of the marbles in the jar = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10

∵ Two marbles are drawn from the bag, one after the other without

replacement

- That means red is already occurred when green is happened,

so it is a "Conditional Probability" of green given red

P(B/A) = P(A and B)/P(A)

∵ Event A is defined as drawing a red marble from the jar on

the first draw

∴ P(A) = P(red)

∵ P(red) = $\frac{3}{10}$
