ANSWER

$p + q= 7$

EXPLANATION

We determine the slope of each line using the slope formula;

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

The slope of BC is

$= \frac{ q - 1}{9 - 6}$

$\frac{ q - 1}{3}$

The slope of AB is

$= \frac{1 - 4}{6 - p}$

$= - \frac{3}{6 - p}$

The two lines are perpendicular so the product of their slopes is -1.

$- \frac{3}{6 - p} \times \frac{ q - 1}{3} = - 1$

This implies that,

$\frac{q - 1}{6 - p} = 1$

$q - 1=6 - p$

$q + p = 6 + 1$

$p + q= 7$

The sum of two numbers is 65. The larger number is 5 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?

ipn [44]

Answer:

30 and 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Put this question into equation form:

Let x be the smaller number, if the larger number is 5 more and the total is 65:

x + 5 + x = 65

2x + 5 = 65

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x + 5 - 5 = 65 - 5

2x = 60

Divide both sides by 2:

2x ÷ 2 = 60 ÷ 2

x = 30

As the larger number is 5 bigger:

30 + 5 = 35

So the two numbers are 30 and 35.

Hope this helps!

A water container holds 2 liters. How many

EastWind [94]

Number of containers for 2 litres of water = 1

So, number of containers for 1 litre of water = ½

So, number of containers for 30 litres of water

= ½ × 30

= 30/2

= 15

So, 15 of these containers would be needed to fill a 30-liter drum.

Two boys and three girls are auditioning to play the piano for a school production. Two students will be chosen, one as the pian

finlep [7]

Answer:

30% is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of boys = 2

Total number of girls = 3

Total number of students = 5

To find:

Probability that the pianist will be a boy and the alternate will be a girl?

Solution:

Here we have to make 2 choices.

1st choice has to be boy (pianist) and 2nd choice has to be girl (alternate).

$\bold{\text{Required probability }= P(\text{boy as pianist first}) \times P(\text{girl as alternate})}$

Formula for probability of an event E is given as:

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

For $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ , number of favorable cases are 2 (total number of boys).

Total number of cases = Total number of students i.e. 5

So, $P(\text{boy as pianist})$ is:

$P(\text{boy as pianist}) = \dfrac{2}{5}$

For $P(\text{girl as alternate})$ , number of favorable cases are 3 (total number of girls).

Now, one boy is already chosen as pianist so Total number of cases = Total number of students left i.e. (5 - 1) = 4

$P(\text{girl as alternate}) = \dfrac{3}{4}$

So, the required probability is:

$\text{Required probability } = \dfrac{2}{5}\times \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{3}{10} = \bold{30\%}$
