Solving for y, we can start by expanding to get y-3=5x-20. Next, we can add 3 to both sides (to separate y), resulting in y=5x-17. To find the slope in the equation y=mx+b, you simply find what you multiply x by, which is 5 in this case. To find a perpendicular slope, you start by making the slope (5 in this case) negative. Next, we find the reciprocal of the number. Since -5 can be written as -5/1, the reciprocal and therefore perpendicular slope is -1/5

1. Using the Product Rule of Probability, calculate the chances of picking a red bean out of a bag with 1 red bean and 49 white
REY [17]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of picking one red bean out of total 50 beans (one red and 49 whites). = 1/50

Now, chances of picking the one red bean out of a bag with 1 red bean and 49 white beans twice in a row is case of conditional probabilty where we can use  the Product Rule of Probability

= 1/50*0/49 = 0 [ There is only one red and it is ready picked in the first draw]

Everyone wants to watch football games on Thanksgiving. There are 3 games on in afternoon and 3 on at night. How many different
Vikki [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

At afternoon there are 3 games, lets call them A1, A2, and A3. These are simultaneous, which means you can ONLY watch one of them.

At night there are other three, lets call them N1, N2 and N3. Which again, are simultaneous, so you need to chose only one.

So, you can, at most, watch 2 games: one in the afternoon (extracted from the set {A1, A2, A3}) and one at night (extracted from the set {N1, N2, N3}).

So, here what you need is ALL the possible combinations between afternoon and games. As thee choices are independent, this is, the game chosen at afternoon has no effect on the night decision, we can just multiply the number of options in every set: 3*3 = 9. So there are 9 different combinations, which are:

A1 N1, A1 N2, A1 N3, A2 N1, A2 N2, A2 N3, A3 N1, A3 N2, A3 N3.

Here I supposed you watch a game in both, night and afternoon. If you can choose to NOT watch any game, the sets will have 4 elements but the reasoning is equal.
