Answer:

D) -3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is found by using

m= (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) hwere the points are (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

= (-3-3)/(3--5)

= (-6)/(3+5)

= -6/8

=-3/4

cluponka [151]

Problem

A bag contains 6 blue marbles, 10 red marbles, and 9 green marbles. If two marbles are drawn at random without replacement, what is the probability that two red marbles are drawn?

Work

Probability = no. of favorable outcomes /total no. of outcomes

Probability of getting a blue marble=5/5+6+9=5/20

Probability of getting a red marble=6/20−1=6/19

5/20×6/19

Answer

3/20

So it is C.

Which statement best explains the relationship between lines FG and HJ?

murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

From the figure, we have

The coordinates of the point F are: (-4,1).

The coordinates of the point G are: (0,-2)

The coordinates of the point J are: (0,4) and

The coordinates of the point H are: (-4,-2).

Now, the slope of the line FG is :

$S=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$S=\frac{-2-1}{0+4}$

$S=\frac{-3}{4}$

And, the slope of the line HJ is:

$S=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

$S=\frac{-2-4}{-4-0}$

$S=\frac{3}{2}$

Now, $the slope of FG=\frac{1}{slope of HJ}$

$\frac{-3}{4}=\frac{2}{3}$

which is not possible, thus They are not perpendicular because their slopes are not negative reciprocals.

What is the result of isolating y2 in the equation below? 9x2 + 7y2 = 42

ElenaW [278]

First, move 9x^2 to the right:

7y^2 = 42 - 9x^2

Then, divide 7 on both sides:

y^2 = 6 - 9/7 * x^2
