Answer:

(-6, -1)

Yes, the midpoint of a line segment divides the segment into two equal parts. True.

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from A(-2, -9) to M(-4, -5), x decreases by two units from -2 to -4; if we now go from M(-4, -5) to B, we expect that x will decrease by two more units, from -4 to -6. Thus, the x-coordinate of B is -6.

y increases by 4 from -9 to -5 (4 units) under the same circumstances. To find the y-coordinate of B, we add 4 to -5, obtaining y = -1.

The endpoint B is thus (-6, -1).

There are $9C_3$ ways to select 3 from 9.

There are $5C_3$ ways to select 3 men from 5 men and $4C_3$ ways to select 3 women from 4 women.

If all three selected are men, then no woman was selected, and we have

$5C_3 \times 4C_0$ ways we can do that.

$P(All -3 -are -men)=[tex]\frac{5C_3 \times 4C_0}{9C_3}=\frac{5}{42}$

2) If all 3 are women then no man was selected, and we have

$5C_0 \times 4C_3$ ways we can do that.

$P(All- 3- are- women)=\frac{5C_0 \times 4C_3}{9C_3}=\frac{1}{21}$

3) If 2 men and 1 woman were selected, the we have $5C_2\times 4C_1$ ways we can do that.

$P(2 -men -1 -woman)=\frac{5C_2\times 4C_1}{9C_3}=\frac{10}{21}$

4) If 2 women and 1 man is selected, then we have $5C_1 \times 4C_2$

$P(2- women- 1 -man)=\frac{5C_1\times 4C_2}{9C_3}=\frac{5}{14}$

Find the value of y that makes each equation true for all values of x x+5+11x=12x+y

Readme [11.4K]

Ok, let's simplify the left side first by adding the x's together
We get:
12x+5=12x+y
So if we subtract 12x from each side, it cancels it out on both sides, leaving us with 5=y or y=5

If we plug that back into the original we simplified of 12x+5=12x+y, we would have: 12x+5=12x+5, which is true. :D

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 10^5 = 10 * 10* 10 * 10 * 10 = 100.000.

So, we have that 10^5 = 100.000
