Answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: y = 5x+37

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation of line is:

y=5x-3

The general form of equation of line in slope-intercept form is written as:

y = mx+b

Here m(co-efficient of x) is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Comparing the given equation with the general form we get

m = 5

Two parallel lines have same slope so the slope of any line parallel to given line will also be 5.

Let m1 be the slope of required line parallel to y=5x-3

Then m1=5

Putting in general form

y = m_1x+b

y=5x+b

To find the value of b(y-intercept) the given point has to be put in the equation from which the line passes.

The point is (-8,-3)

-3 = 5(-8)+b\\-3 = -40+b\\b = -3+40\\b = 37

Putting the value of b and m1, we get

y = 5x+37

Hence,

The equation of the line that is parallel to given line and passes through the point (-8, -3) is: y = 5x+37

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: 15/91 which is choice B

=================================================================

There are two methods to find this answer.

Method 1) We have 6 girls and 8+6 = 14 students. The probability of picking a girl is 6/14 = 3/7. After the first girl is chosen, we have 5 girls left out of 14-1 = 13 students overall. The probability of picking another girl (assuming the first selection was a girl) is 5/13. Multiply these probabilities: (3/7)*(5/13) = (3*5)/(7*13) = 15/91

--------------------

Method 2) We can use the nCr combination formula. Order does not matter.

We have nCr = 6 C 2 = 15 ways to pick 2 girls. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 1)

Out of nCr = 14 C 2 = 91 ways to pick 2 students. See the attached image below for the steps (figure 2)

So that's another way to get the answer 15/91.
