Step-by-step explanation:
The given blue line has a slope of m = -1/2.
The line parallel to the given line passing through point (x0,y0)=(2,3) is given by the point-slope form:
(y-y0)=m(x-x0)
substitute values
(y-3) = (-1/2)(x-2)
Expand and transpose
y = (-1/2)x + 1 + 3
y = (-1/2)x + 4 ....................(1)
We choose the second equation b. x+2y=8 and convert to slope-intercept form:
2y=-x+8
y = (-1/2)x + 4, which is exactly equation (1)
So
b. x+2y=8 is the correct answer.
Answer:
The probability that the first failure occurs among the five devices is given by
(a) 9 months =
(b) 12 months=
Step-by-step explanation:
probability is given as the; number of required outcome/ total number of possible outcome.
Y + 2 = x, or y + 12 = 2x
The fraction will continue to be the same numerator "1". However the denominator will be a greater number. Such as 4. Then you will know it is broken into more peices (as being a greater number). These pieces will automatically be a smaller fraction.
So, in order to know if a fraction is less then 1/2, it will have a greater denominator.
hope this helps :)
John's hourly rate is 1/8 of the room per hour.
Rick's hourly rate is 1/2 of the room per hour.
Molli's hourly rate would be 3/8 of the room per hour.
It takes Molli 2 2/3 hours to paint the room alone.
Explanation
Since John paints the entire room (100%=1) in 8 hours, he would paint 1/8 of the room in 1 hour.
Since Rick paints the entire room (100%=1) in 2 hours, he would paint 1/2 of it in 2 hour.
We do not yet know Molli's rate, so we will call it x.
We know that 1/8+1/2+x = 1 hour.
We will use 8 as a common denominator:
1/8+4/8+8x/8 = 1
Adding the numerators,
(1+4+8x)/8 = 1
Multiply both sides by 8:
1+4+8x = 8
Add like terms:
5+8x = 8
Subtract 5 from both sides:
5+8x-5=8-5
8x=3
Divide both sides by 8:
8x/8 = 3/8
x = 3/8
Molli's rate is 3/8.
Since she can paint 3/8 of the room in 1 hour, we can set up the equation
3/8x = 1
Divide both sides by 3/8:
3/8x ÷ 3/8 = 1 ÷ 3/8
x = 1/1 ÷ 3/8 = 1/1 × 8/3 = 8/3
x = 2 2/3
This is the amount of time it takes Molli to paint the entire room.
