How are slopes and y-intercepts related to the number of solutions of a system of linear equations

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nina [5.8K]3 years ago
7 0
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

For a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns, there are 3 cases:

  1. slopes are different — one solution
  2. slopes are the same and y-intercepts are different — no solutions
  3. slopes and y-intercepts are the same — infinitely many solutions

When slopes are different, the two lines intersect at <em>one</em> point, the <em>solution</em>.

When slopes are the same, the lines may be either parallel (different y-intercepts) or the same (same y-intercepts). If the lines are parallel, there are no points of intersection, hence <em>no solutions</em>. If the lines are the same line, they intersect at all points, so there are <em>infinitely many solutions</em>.

An unfair coin with​ Pr[H] = 0.2 is flipped. If the flip results in a​ head, a marble is selected at random from a urn containin
satela [25.4K]
Normally when dealing with coins the probability of getting heads or tails is 0.5 each. However in this case since its an unfair coin, the probability of getting heads is 0.2. 
H - head 
T - tails
R - red marble
pr (H) = 0.2
urn
6 red and 4 blue
pr (T)   = 0.8
urn
3 red and 5 blue

when heads is obtained 
red - 6/10 -0.6
blue - 4/10 - 0.4
therefore when multiplying with 0.2 probability of getting heads
pr (R ∩ H) red - 0.6*0.2 = 0.12

when tails is obtained 
red - 3/8 - 0.375
blue - 5/8 - 0.625
when multiplying with 0.8 probability of getting tails
pr (R ∩ T) red - 0.375 * 0.8 = 0.3

using bayes rule the answer can be found out, 
the following equation is used;
pr (H | R) = pr (R ∩ H) / {pr (R ∩ H) + pr (R ∩ T)}
               = 0.12 / (0.12 + 0.3)
               = 0.12 / 0.42
               = 0.286
the final answer is 0.286

What is an equation of the line that passes through point (5,-8) and is parallel to the line x+y=7
Igoryamba

Answer:

The line given is equal to y=-x+7 (Through rearranging)

To find the new line, we substitute the given coordinates (5,8) in the equation without the given y-intersect (+7):

-8=-5+c

c=-3

The line parallel to x+y=7 that passes through the point (5,-8) is y=-x-3
