Answer:
m = -3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the line is going downwards towards the right, it is a negative slope.
We can use the points to solve for the slope.
m = -2 - 1 / 2 - (-3)
m = -2 - 1 / 2 + 3
m = -3/5
Therefore, the slope is -3/5.
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
<u>We are given:</u>
The time-traveller has 79 books, but he can only take 5 books
since we need to find the number of ways he can choose 5 books, we know that the order in which he takes the books does NOT matter
Hence, we will use combination
<u>Finding the number of ways:</u>
Since we will use combination, ₇₉C₅
We know that the formula for combination is (n!) / (r!(n-r)!)
₇₉C₅ = 79! / 5!(74!)
₇₉C₅ = 22,537,515
Therefore, the time traveller can choose 5 books in 22,537,515 different ways
2 1/2 / 4 4/5
the answer is 0.2 or 1/5
