Of the 27 players trying out for the school basketball team, 8 are more than 6 feet tall and 7 have good aim. What is the probability that the coach would randomly pick a player over 6 feet tall or a player with a good aim? Assume that no players over 6 feet tall have good aim. A. 7/15 B. 6/15 C. 7/9 D. 5/9
The Answer Is
--------5/9--------
Part A:
Function A:
Slope = (7-3)/(5-3) = 4/2 = 2
Equation:
y - 3 = 2(x - 3)
y - 3 = 2x - 6
y = 2x - 3
Funcion B:
(0, 3 ) and (-5, 0)
Slope = (3 - 0)/(0 + 5) = 3/5
y-intercept (0,3) so b = 3
Equation:
y = 3/5 x + 3
Function C:
y = 3x + 1
Part B:
Rate of change is the change in y over the change in x (rise/run). It's also the slope
Function A: rate of change = 2
Function B: rate of change = 3/5 (smallest)
Function C: rate of change = 3 (largest)
Order linear functions based on rate of change from least to greatest.
Function B: y = 3/5 x + 3
Function A: y = 2x - 3
Function C: y = 3x + 1
Answer:
y = 6x + 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation of a line
y = mx + c
Given
( 0 , 0) ( -1/2 , -3)
find the slope m
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
x1 = 0
y1 = 0
x2 = -1/2
y2 = -3
Insert the values
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x1
m = -3 - 0 / -1/2 - 0
= -3/-1/2
Minus cancels minus
= 3/1/2
= 3/1 ÷ 1/2
= 3/1 × 2/1
= 6/1
= 6
m = 6
Substitute any of the two points given into the equation of a line
y = mx + c
Where
y - intercept point y
x - intercept point x
m - slope of the line
c - intercept
(-1/2 , -3)
x = -1/2
y = -3
-3 = 6(-1/2) + c
-3 = -6/2 + c
-3 = -3 + c
-3 + 3 = c
c = 0
y = 6x + 0
The equation of the line is
y = 6x + 0
8 1/9 because 9 times 8 is 72 and 73-72=1 so 8 1/9
