a line contains the point (8,-5). if the slope of the lines is 5/7, write the equation of the line using point-slope form

1 answer:

4 0

This is a linear function of the form y = mx + b,

m = 5/7 (given) → y = (5/7).x + b. This function passes through (8, -5), where
(x=8) & (y= -5)
To calculate b , replace x & y by their respective values:

-5 = (5/7).(8) + b; → -5 = 40/7 + b;→ b= -5 - 40/7 = -75/7,
Finally the equation is y= f(x) = (5/7).x -75/7

Answer:

a. 254.34, b. 56.52

Step-by-step explanation:

a. A = πr^2,

A = 3.14(9^2)

A = 3.14*81

A = 254.34

b. C = πd

C = 18*3.14

C = 56.52

A box contains 3 coins. One coin has 2 heads and the other two are fair. A coin is chosen at random from the box and flipped. If

Blababa [14]

Answer: Our required probability is $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of coins = 3

Number of coin has 2 heads = 1

Number of fair coins = 2

Probability of getting one of the coin among 3 = $\dfrac{1}{3}$

So, Probability of getting head from fair coin = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Probability of getting head from baised coin = 1

Using "Bayes theorem" we will find the probability that it is the two headed coin is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}{\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times \dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{3}\times 1}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{6}+\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{3}}{\dfrac{2}{3}}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}$
