Part A:
Slope of line is given by vertical distance ÷ horizontal distance
Let (8, 9) be (x₁, y₂) and (-2, 4) be (x₂, y₂)
The vertical distance is y₂ - y₁ = 4 - 9 = -5
The horizontal distance is x₂ - x₁ = -2 - 8 = -10
slope of the line = -5 ÷ -10 = 0.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B
The point-slope form is given by
(y - y₁) = m (x - x₁)
We have the gradient, m = 0.5
(x₁, y₁) = (8, 9) ⇒ You can also use the other coordinate (-2, 4)
Substitute these value into the form, we have
(y - 9) = 0.5 (x - 8)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part C
The slope-intercept form is given by the equation
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope gradient and c is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. We don't have the value of c at the moment but we can find out by simplifying the equation in part B
y - 9 = 0.5 (x - 8) ⇒ Multiplying out the bracket
y - 9 = 0.5x - 4
y = 0.5x - 4 + 9
y = 0.5x + 5 ⇒ This the slope-intercept form
0.3
according to the graph the intercept is on point line of 0.003 so we take that run it through some multiples we get 0.3
2/3 or 66.666666...% is the probability of it not landing on blue
They lost 2 yards is the answer. But its difficult to tell because it could also be they gained -2 yards.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 3:
Let LM = x
OK = KP = 12 units [Radii of circle K]
LN = LP = 8 units [Radii of circle L]
Therefore, KL = KP + PL
KL = 12 + 8
= 20 units
Step 4:
Since, ΔKOM and ΔLNM are the similar triangles,
By the property of two similar triangles, corresponding sides of these similar triangles will be proportional.
12x = 8(x + 20) [By cross multiplication]
12x = 8x + 160
12x - 8x = 160
4x = 160
x = 40
