Answer:

y-intercept is (0, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

m - a slope

b - y-intercept

We have a slope m = 1/4. Substitute: y = 1/4 x + b

We know, the line passes through point (8, 3) → x = 8, y = 3.

Put the values of x and y to the equation of the line:

1/4 · 8 + b = 3

2 + b = 3 |-2

b = 1

Answer: y-intercept is (0, 1)

How to slove this problem?

Feliz [49]

So, since the polygons are similar, they will share a scale factor.

The dilation is a reduction.

SF= preimage/image

SF=48/40

SF= 1.2

To find the value of x, multiply 20 by 1.2, so:

20(1.2)=24

Thus, x = 24

Now, to check if the sides are proportional (this will determine if the polygons are, in fact, similar.)

24/20=1.2
48/40=1.2

BTW, the missing side measure for the image is 40 since 48 is its corresponding side, and 48/1.2 (SF) is 40.

Hence, we have 48/40= 1.2

Two ships sail between New York and London. One makes the round trip in 12 days. The other takes 16 days. They both leave London

Mariana [72]

In order to find the answer to this question, you would need to find the Greatest Common Factor of 16 and 12 which would be 4 because 4 is the greatest amount that you can divide both 12 and 16 by. So the soonest both ships will leave together again will be in 4 days.

Find the probability that the person is frequently or occasionally involved in charity work.

Schach [20]

Given the table below which shows the result of a survey that asked 2,881 people whether they are involved in any type of charity work.

$\begin{tabular}
{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
 &Frequently&Occassionally&Not at all&Total\\[1ex]
Male&227&454&798&1,479\\
Female &205&450&747&1,402\\
Total&432&904&1,545&2,881
\end{tabular}$

Part A:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is frequently or occassinally involved in charity work is given by

$P(being \ frequently \ involved \ or \ being \ occassionally \ involved)\\ \\= \frac{432}{2881} + \frac{904}{2881} = \frac{1336}{2881}=\bold{0.464}$

Part B:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is female or not involved in charity work at all is given by

$P(being
 \ female \ or \ not \ being \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1402}{2881} + \frac{1545}{2881}-\frac{747}{2881} = 
\frac{2200}{2881}=\bold{0.764}$

Part C:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is male or frequently involved in charity work is given by

$P(being
 \ male \ or \ being \ frequently \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1479}{2881} + \frac{432}{2881}-\frac{227}{2881} = 
\frac{1684}{2881}=\bold{0.585}$

Part D:

If a person is chosen at random, the probability that the person is female or not frequently involved in charity work is given by

$P(being
 \ female \ or \ not \ being \ frequently \ involved)\\ \\= 
\frac{1402}{2881} + \frac{904}{2881} + \frac{1545}{2881}-\frac{450}{2881}-\frac{747}{2881} = 
\frac{2654}{2881}=\bold{0.921}$

Part E:

The events "being female" and "being frequently involved in charity work" are not mutually exclusive because being a female does not prevent a person from being frequently involved in charity work.

Indeed from the table, there are 205 females who are frequently involved in charity work.

Therefore, the answer to the question is "No, because 205 females are frequently involved charity work".
