Answer:

The correct answer is second option

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

The slope of line passing through (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) is given by,

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>To find the slope of given line</u>

Here, (x₁, y₁) = (-2, -1) and (x₂, y₂) = (8, -3)

Slope = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁) = ( -3 - - 1)/(8 - -2)

 = (-3 + 1)/(8 + 2) = -2/10

 = -1/5

Therefore the correct answer is second option -1/5

Answer:

- 1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of a line passing through two points can be calculated as:

\text{slope}=\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}} \\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{\text{Difference of y coordinates}}{\text{Difference of x coordinates}}

The given points are (-2, -1) and (8, -3). Using the values in above formula, we get:

\text{slope}=\frac{-3-(-1)}{8-(-2)}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-3+1}{8+2}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-2}{10}\\\\ \text{slope}=\frac{-1}{5}

Thus the slope of the line through the given points is -1/5. So 2nd option gives the correct answer

agasfer [191]

Answer:

8by + 2ax - 4bx - 4ay

Step-by-step explanation:

I assume you mean expand so:

(a - 2b)(3x - 5y) + (2b - a)(x - y)

3ax - 5ay - 6bx + 10by + 2bx - 2by - ax + ay

Now collect like terms:

2ax - 4ay - 4bx + 8by

This is your answer but in a better order:

8by + 2ax - 4bx - 4ay

A drawer contains 3 white shirts, 2 blue shirts, and 5 gray shirts. A shirt is randomly
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Probability that first shirt is white and second shirt is gray if first shirt selected is set aside = \frac{1}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

3 white, 2 blue and 5 gray shirts are there.

To find:

Probability that first shirt is white and second shirt is gray if first shirt selected is set aside = ?

Solution:

Here, total number of shirts = 3+2+5 = 10

First of all, let us learn about the formula of an event E:

P(E) = \dfrac{\text{Number of favorable cases}}{\text {Total number of cases}}

P(First\ White) = \dfrac{\text{Number of white shirts}}{\text {Total number of shirts left}}

P(First\ White) = \dfrac{3}{10}

Now, this shirt is set aside.

So, total number of shirts left are 9 now.

P(First\ White\ and\ second\ gray) = P(First White) \times P(Second\ Gray)\\\Rightarrow P(First\ White\ and\ second\ gray) = P(First White) \times \dfrac{\text{Number of gray shirts}}{\text{Total number of shirts left}}\\\\\Rightarrow P(First\ White\ and\ second\ gray) = \dfrac{3}{10} \times \dfrac{5}{9}\\\Rightarrow P(First\ White\ and\ second\ gray) = \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2}\\\Rightarrow P(First\ White\ and\ second\ gray) = \bold{\dfrac{1}{4} }

So, the answer is:

Probability that first shirt is white and second shirt is gray if first shirt selected is set aside = \frac{1}{4}
