We know that
the slope formula is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(x1,y1)=(0,2)
(x2,y2)=(x,0)
m=1-----> equation 1
m=(0-2)/(x-0)------> m=-2/x -----> equation 2
equate equation 1 and equation 2
1=-2/x------> multiply by x both sides------> x=-2
the point (x2,y2) is ----------> (-2,0)
Answer: 1 1/4feet
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the depth of the water in the pool changes by −3/4 foot every hour and that the depth of the water was 5 feet when she started draining.
The depth of the water after 5 hours will be:
= 5 - 3/4(5)
= 5 - 15/4
= 5 - 3 3/4
= 1 1/4 feet
We take 2 marbles from 20 marbles and the total ways is 20x19:2=190
But we need only 2 red marbles and the ways is 14x13:2=91
And finally we do the division 91:190=91/190 is the probability we need
