Answer:

D. 2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is calculate as a division between the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not and the total ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.

The number of ways in which they can select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers can be calculated using:

nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}

Where nCk give as the number of ways in which we can form groups of k elements from a group of n elements.

So, if we replace n by 8 and k by 4, we get:

8C4=\frac{8!}{4!(8-4)!}=70

Then, there are 70 ways to select 4 people from a group of 8 volunteers.

At the same way, the number of ways in which Andrew will be selected and karen will not can be calculate replacing n by 6 and k by 3 in the same equation as:

6C3=\frac{6!}{3!(6-3)!}=20

We replace n by 6 because from the 8 volunteers, Andrew is going to be selected and Karen will not, so, the people that affect the result are just the 6 remaining volunteers. Also, k is equal to 3 because Andrew is already selected and we just need to select 3 more people.

Finally, the probability is:

P=\frac{20}{70} = \frac{2}{7}

what is the equation of a line that passes through the point (6,1) and is perpendicular to the line whose equation is y=2x-6?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the standard form on an equation:  y = mx + b

A line that is perpendicular has a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the other line.  We also have a point (x, y) that is on the line, so our equation begins as..

1 = -(1/2)(6) + b           We must solve for b (  -1/2 is the opposite reciprocal of 2)

1 = -3 + b

4 = b  

so our equation is

y = -(1/2)x + 4

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to y = 3x+6 and passes through the point (-10, 2.5)
TiliK225 [7]

1) Line should be parallel to y = 3x+6, so slope of this line should be =3.

y=mx +b

y=3x +b

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-10, 2.5).

2.5 = 3*(-10)+b

b=2.5+30=32.5

y=3x + 32.5

2) The line should be perpendicular to y = -4x -2, so its slope is going to be negative reciprocal m= 1/4.

Now we have to find b (y-intercept), using the point (-16, -11).

y=(1/4)x +b

-11=(1/4)*(-16) + b

-11 = -4 +b

b = -7

y=(1/4)x - 7

30 Points, 5 stars, thanks and Brainliest if answered correctly because I feel generous.
wlad13 [49]

Find the difference between each number:

-24/4 = -6

144/-24 = -6

The next number is multiplied by -6

You have the first 4 terms

5th term = -864 x -6 = 5184

6th term = 5184 x -6 = -31,104

7th term = -31,104 x -6 = 186,624

8th term = 186,624 x -6 = -1,119,744
