Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Order is impotant since you could easily make a positve number negative and vice versa. You switch the order of 5 subtracted by y to y-5.

What is 2x-y=6 the slope

Flura [38]

First of all, lets get y on its own side of the equation.

$-y=-2x+6\\y=2x-6\\$

This is slope intercept form, y=mx+b, where m is slope.

we can see that m=2, so the slope is 2 or $\frac{2}{1}$

If the arc length of a sector in the unit circle is 4.2, what is the measure of the angle of the sector?

iren [92.7K]

Bear in mind the Unit Circle is called so, because its radius is exactly 1, thus just 1 unit, the Unit Circle

anyway $\bf \theta=\cfrac{180s}{\pi r}\qquad 
\begin{cases}
\theta=\textit{central angle in degrees}\\
r=radius\\
s=\textit{length of the arc}\\
----------\\
s=4.2\\
r=1
\end{cases}\implies \theta=\cfrac{180\cdot 4.2}{1\cdot \pi }$

Given 2 events a and b, and that p(a)=0.30, p(b)=0.45, p(a u b)=0.60. find the probability p(a∩b).

pickupchik [31]

P(a U b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a ∩ b)

<=>

p(a ∩ b) = p(a) + p(b) - p(a U b)

I let you do the maths :)
