Answer:

Equation of line passing through origin and (7,2) is: $y = \frac{7}{2}x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of equation of line is given by:

$y = mx+b$

When a line passes through origin it has no y-intercept so the equation will become

$y = mx$

Slope is given by the formula

$m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Here,

(x1,y1) = (0,0)

(x2,y2) = (7,2)

Putting the values in the formula

$m = \frac{7-0}{2-0} = \frac{7}{2}$

Putting the value of slope in equation of line

$y = \frac{7}{2}x$

Hence,

Equation of line passing through origin and (7,2) is: $y = \frac{7}{2}x$

What is the standard form of the equation of a circle that has its center at (-2, -3) and passes through the point (-2, 0)?

juin [17]

Answer:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = 3^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The most general standard form here is

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2. Since we know the center is at (-2, -3), we rewrite this equation as

(x + 2)^2 + (y + 3)^2 = r^2.

Note that the center (-2, -3) and the point (-2, 0) lie on the same vertical line, and that the vertical distance from the center to this point is 3. This is also the radius of the circle. Thus, the equation of this circle is:

(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = 3^2

A six-sided die is rolled find P (of an even number) don't forget to reduce fraction

velikii [3]

Answer:

P(even no.) = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Formula of Probability = $\frac{Required outcomes}{Total possible outcomes}$

Total no. of outcomes when a six sided die is rolled are: 6 (as shown below)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Required outcomes are only even number: 3 (as shown below)

2, 4, 6

Thus P(even no.) = $\frac{3}{6}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ = 0.5

Help stepmby step pls

pshichka [43]

Answer:

Ima say the answer is 9, likely she bought 6 more new and with the fire half were destroyed of this 6 new posters only are 3 left so she has 12 posters left that means only 3 are added to how much posters she had before, so in some words she started with 9 also 9+3=12.

For where it says write and equation I think the answer would be something like 9+6-3. In where it says work I want to assume is your explaination so you can use the first paragraph I made. Check Its prob a re do of the work you have done to make sure its right. Coming with "Define the value" Im not sure of this but i think is to define your equation.
