A line, y = mx + b, passes through the point (10, 3) and is parallel to the line 2x+5y=12.

slava [35]

We have been given that a line $y=mx+b$ passes through the point (10, 3) and is parallel to the line $2x+5y=12$ . We are asked to find the y-intercept of the line.

First of all we will rewrite our given equation in slope-intercept form as:

$2x-2x+5y=12-2x$

$5y=-2x+12$

$\frac{5y}{5}=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

$y=-\frac{2}{5}x+\frac{12}{5}$

We know that slope of parallel lines is equal, so slope of parallel line to our given line would be $-\frac{2}{5}$ .

Now we will use slope-intercept form of equation to find y-intercept.

$y=mx+b$ , where,

m = Slope,

b = The y-intercept.

Let us substitute $m=-\frac{2}{5}$ and coordinates of point $(10,3)$ in above equation as:

$3=-\frac{2}{5}(10)+b$

$3=-2(2)+b$

$3=-4+b$

$3+4=-4+4+b$

$7=b$

Therefore, the y-intercept is 7 and our required equation would be $y=-\frac{2}{5}x+7$ .

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite side in 2 segments that are proportional to the other 2 sides of the triangle. Namely:

$\frac{15}{18}=\frac{w}{30}$ and cross multiply.

18w = 450 so

w = 25

The theoretical probability that Chandra will be chosen as one of the science fair participants is 0.8 or 80%.

<h3>What is theoretical probability?</h3>

Theoretical probability of an event is the ratio of number of favourable outcome to the total expected number of outcome of that event.

Five students, Adriana, Ben, Chandra, Diana, and Ernesto, would each like one of the four spots at the regional science fair.

Their names are placed in a hat, and four names are chosen at random to decide who attends the fair.

The total number of names are 5.
The total number of names chosen are 4.

The total number of ways 4 names can be taken out from 5 names is,

$^5C_4$ .

Here one spot needs to be fixed for Chandra. Now the total number of outcome remain 4 and favourable outcome remain 3.

Thus, the number of ways 4 names can be taken out such that it contains the name Chandra is

$^4C_3$ .

The theoretical probability that Chandra will be chosen as one of the science fair participants is,

$P=\dfrac{^4C3}{^5C4}\\P=\dfrac{4}{5}\\P=0.8\\P=80\%$

Thus, the theoretical probability that Chandra will be chosen as one of the science fair participants is 0.8 or 80%.
