Answer:

The answer is

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line is y = mx + c

where

m is the slope

c is the y intercept

To find the equation of the parallel line we must first find the slope of the original line

The original line is 2x + y = 1

We must first write the equation in the general form above

That's

y = - 2x + 1

Comparing with the general equation above

Slope = - 2

Since the lines are parallel their slope are also the same

Slope of parallel line = - 2

So the equation of the line using point

( - 1 , 4) and slope - 2 is

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Answer:

a) 2/3

b) 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be the random event that measures the time you will have to wait.

Since time is uniformly distributed between 10 and 10:30 in intervals of 1 minute

P(n < X ≤ n+1) = 1/30 for every minute n=0,1,...29.

P( X > 10) = 1 - P(X ≤ 10) = 1 - 10/30 = 2/3

P(10 < X ≤ 20) = (20-10)/30 = 1/3

10 points! How do I factor 8x^2-26x+15

Rufina [12.5K]

The AC method, also known as splitting the middle, can be shown like this:

8x^2 - 26x + 15

<em><u>Check factors of 120.</u></em>

1 * 120

-1 * -120

2 * 60

-2 * -60

3 * 40

-3 * -40

5 * 24

-5 * -24

6 * 20

-6 * -20 (these factors, when added together, are equal to the middle term, and thus splitting the middle term is possible.)

<em><u>Split the middle term.</u></em>

8x^2 - 6x - 20x + 15

<em><u>Group in terms of 2.</u></em>

(8x^2 - 6x) - (20x + 15)

<em><u>Factor each binomial.</u></em>

2x(4x - 3) - 5(4x - 3)

<em><u>Rearrange the terms.</u></em>

(2x - 5)(4x - 3)

Is -49 a rational number? please explain

aleksklad [387]

Yes, because a rational number is any number that can be expressed as a fraction a/b where a/b are both integers, but cannot be zero.
