in this problem we have a vertical line
The equation of a vertical line is equal to the x-coordinate of the point that passes through it
so
in this case
the equation of the line is
x=-1
2-5x-4+8
A: -5

Answer:
(a) 120 choices
(b) 110 choices
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of ways in which we can select k element from a group n elements is given by:

So, the number of ways in which a student can select the 7 questions from the 10 questions is calculated as:

Then each student have 120 possible choices.
On the other hand, if a student must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions, we have the following cases:
1. A student select 3 questions from the first 5 questions and 4 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

2. A student select 4 questions from the first 5 questions and 3 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

3. A student select 5 questions from the first 5 questions and 2 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

So, if a student must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions, he/she have 110 choices. It is calculated as:
50 + 50 + 10 = 110
Answer:
- Exact distance =
feet - Approximate distance = 127.2792 feet.
===========================================================
Explanation:
The area of the square is 8100 square feet, abbreviated ft^2.
Apply the square root to find the distance from any base to its adjacent counterpart (eg: from 1st to 2nd base). So we get sqrt(8100) = 90 ft as that side distance. Notice that 90*90 = 8100.
If you were to draw a line from 1st base to 3rd base, then you would split the square into two congruent right triangles. Each right triangle is isosceles (the two legs being 90 ft each).
Use the pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse.

The distance from 1st to 3rd base is roughly 127.2792 feet.
Answer:
23. 0.4583 seconds
24. 0.0107 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement tells you how to work it. You need to convert speed from miles per hour to feet (or inches) per second.
90 mi/h = (90·5280 ft)/(3600 s) = 132 ft/s = (132·12 in)/s = 1584 in/s
__
23. The time it takes for the ball to travel 60.5 ft is ...
time = distance/speed
time = (60.5 ft)/(132 ft/s) = 0.4583 s
It takes 458.3 milliseconds to reach home plate.
__
24. time = distance/speed
time = (17 in)/(1584 in/s) = 0.0107 s
The ball is in the strike zone for 10.7 milliseconds.
