Step-by-step explanation:

When you add P(A) and P(B), the overlap P(A and B) is counted twice. So you must subtract it to get the probability P(A or B).

If A and B are disjoint, then P(A and B) = 0, so it isn't necessary to subtract.

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (3,5) and (-1,1). Put

dangina [55]

Given:

A line passes through the two points (3,5) and (-1,1).

To find:

The equation of the line in fully reduced point-slope form.

Solution:

If a line passes through two points, then the point slope form of the line is

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The line passes through the two points (3,5) and (-1,1). So, the point slope form of the line is

$y-5=\dfrac{1-5}{-1-3}(x-3)$

$y-5=\dfrac{-4}{-4}(x-3)$

$y-5=1(x-3)$

Therefore, the point slope form of the line in fully reduced form is $y-5=1(x-3)$ , here 1 is the slope of the line.

the length of a rectangle is 8 less than twice the width. the perimeter is 38 feet. Find the length and width. someone please he

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:L=4 W=15

Step-by-step explanation:

P=2L+2W

38-8=30

If length is 8 less than twice the width and the perimeter is 38, then subtract 38-8 which is 30, then divide 30 by 2 to get 15.

P=2(4) +2(15)

P=38
