1) 1/8

2) 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

First of all, we notice that the spinner is divided into 8 sections of equal size.

So the number of sections is

n = 8

Secondly, we note that each section has the same size: this means that the probability of the spinner landing on each section is the same.

The probabilty of a certain event A to occur is given by

p(A)=\frac{a}{n}

where

a is the number of successfull outcomes (in which A occurs)

n is the total number of possible outcomes

Here we want to find

p(7) = probability that the spinner lands on section 7

Here we have:

a=1 (only 1 outcome is successfull: the one in which the spinner lands on section 7)

n=8

Therefore, the probability is

p(7)=\frac{1}{8}

2)

Here we want to find the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section.

As before, the total number of possible outcomes his:

n=8

which corresponds to: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

The even-numbered sections are:

2, 4, 6, 8

So, the number of successfull outcomes is

a=4

Because there are only 4 even-numbered sections.

Therefore, the probability that the spinner lands on an even numbered section is:

p(e)=\frac{a}{n}=\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}

A line intersects the points(-22,-14) and (-18,-12). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
zaharov [31]

Hello there,

Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:

                                                    \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}  }{x_{2} -x_{1} }

Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:

                                         \frac{(-12)-(-14)}{(-18)-(-22)} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

From this you know that \frac{1}{2} is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:

                                        (-14) = \frac{1}{2} (-22) + b

                                        (-14) = (-11) + b

                                         -3 = b

That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:

                                       y = \frac{1}{2} - 3

Hope I helped,

Find the measure of the indicated angle.<br> Please can you help?<br> I need to show work.
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

64°

Step-by-step explanation:

∠RQP = 46°

∠PRQ = 180° - 110° = 70°

∠PRQ + ∠RQP + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

70° + 46 + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

116° + <u>∠RPQ</u> = 180°

Find <u>∠RPQ</u>

<u>∠RPQ</u> = 180° - 116° = 64°
