Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have y-intercept b = -2. Substitute:

We have the point (4, 12) → x = 4, y = 12. Put them in the equation:

12 = 4m - 2 <em>add 2 to both sides</em>

14 = 4m <em>divide both sides by 4</em>

14/4 = m → m = 3.5

Answer:

y = 3.5x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the y-intercept of our equation is -2, so our current equation is: y = mx - 2. Now we have to find m, which is the slope. Now, we plug in the points into the equation y = mx - 2, and we get 12 = 4m - 2. Thus, m is 3.5. Our final equation is y = 3.5x - 2.

HELP ASAP BEING TIMED! If Triangle J K L is congruent to Triangle B C A, which statement must be true?

Vlada [557]

Answer:

Choice C

Step-by-step explanation:

This is like a matching question. Here's what I mean by this. We know Triangle BCA and Triange JKL are congruent. So, what we have to do is match the side lengths together.

So the first side of BCA matches with JKL, the second side of BCA matches with JKL, the third side of BCA matches with JKL.

So first side:

BC is congruent to JK

So second side:

CA is congruent to KL

So third side:

JL is congruent to BA

The third side is one of our answer choices.

That answer choice is C.

A fair coin is flipped three times. Events A and B are defined as: A: there are at least two consecutive heads somewhere in the

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

2 / 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Coin flipped 3 times has following outcomes, of heads 'H' & Tails 'T'

HHH , TTT , HTT, THT , TTH , THH , HTH , HHT = total outcomes

P (A) = 2 consecutive heads , P (B) = atleast one tail

P (A) = 2 outcomes ( HHH , HHT , THH ) / total 8 outcomes = 3 / 8

P (B) = 7 outcomes (all except HHH) / total 8 outcomes = 7 / 8

P (A | B) = P ( A ∩ B ) / P (B)

P ( A ∩ B ) = P ( 2 consecutive heads & atleast one tail) / Total outcomes = 2 outcomes ( HHT , THH ) / total 8 outcomes = 2 / 8

So, P (A | B) = ( 2 / 8 ) / ( 7 / 8 ) = 2 / 7
