Here is your answer

Points are (14,-12) and (12,-1)

here, x1= 14, y1= -12, x2=12 and y2=-1

so,

Slope of given line is

${\dfrac}{y2-y1}/{x2-x1}$

= -1-(-12)/12-14

= -1+12/-2

= 11/-2

= -11/2

= -5.5

A basketball player makes 60% of his free throws. We set him on the line of free-throw and informed him to shoot free throws unt

pshichka [43]

Answer:

B. 0.03110

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Probability of Hit = 60%

Required

Determine the probability that he misses at 6th throw

Represent Probability of Hit with P

$P = 60\%$

Convert to decimal

$P = 0,6$

Next; Determine the Probability of Miss (q)

Opposite probabilities add up to 1;

So,

$p + q = 1$

$q = 1 - p$

Substitute 0.6 for p

$q = 1 - 0.6$

$q = 0.4$

Next,is to determine the required probability;

Since, he's expected to miss the 6th throw, the probability is:

$Probability = p^5 * q$

$Probability = 0.6^5 * 0.4$

$Probability = 0.031104$

Hence;

<em>Option B answers the question</em>

Erica solved the equation −5x − 25 = 78; her work is shown below. Identify the error and where it was made. (5 points) −5x − 25

Fofino [41]

Answer:

x = -20.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: −5x − 25 − 25 = 78 − 25

Should be

Step 1: -5x-25+25=78+25

Step 2: -5x=103

Step 3: Divide both sides by -5: x = -20.6
