Answer: The answer is y=2x-2

Step-by-step explanation: Slope intercept form is y=mx+b. m= the slope and b=the y-intercept (the point on the y axis that the line crosses). The slope using rise/run is -2/1 making m=2 and the point on the y axis where the line intercepts is -2.

The total flowers is 4 + 3 + 4 = 11

4 roses + 3 carnations = 7

Probability of picking either a rose or a carnation = 7/11

Give a geometric description of the following system of equations.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6y=−15.b. 2x−4y=12 −5x+3y=10.a. 2x−4y=12 −3x+6

Reptile [31]

Answer:

a. No solution, parallel lines.

b. One solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the system of equations:

a. $2x-4y=12$

$-3x+6y=-15$

b. $2x-4y=12$

$-5x+3y=10$

To give a geometric description of the given system of equations.

The geometric description of a system of equations in 2 variables mean the system of equations will represent the number of lines equal to the number of equations in the system given.

i.e.

Number of planes = Number of variables

Number of lines = Number of equations in the system.

Here, we are given 2 variables and 2 equation in each system.

So, they can be represented in the xy-coordinates plane.

And the number of solutions to the system depends on the following condition.

Let the system of equations be:

$A_1x+B_1y+C_1=0\\A_2x+B_2y+C_2=0$

1. One solution:

There will be one solution to the system of equations, If we have:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

2. Infinitely Many Solutions: (Identical lines in the system)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}= \dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

3. No Solution:(Parallel lines)

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Now, let us discuss the system of equations one by one:

a. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-3x+6y=-15$ OR $-3x+6y+15=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -3, B_2 = 6, C_2= 15$

Here, the ratio:

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{2}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{4}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}=\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}\neq\dfrac{C_1}{C_2}$

Therefore, no solution i.e. parallel lines.

b. $2x-4y=12$ OR $2x-4y-12=0$

$-5x+3y=10$ OR $-5x+3y-10=0$

$A_1 = 2, B_1 = -4, C_1 = -12\\A_2 = -5, B_2 = 3, C_2 = -10$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}= -\dfrac{2}{5}\\\dfrac{B_1}{B_2} = -\dfrac{4}{3}\\\dfrac{C_1}{C_2} = -\dfrac{6}{5}$

$\dfrac{A_1}{A_2}\neq\dfrac{B_1}{B_2}$

So, one solution.

Kindly refer to the images attached for the graphical representation of the given system of equations.

four cards numbered 1, 5, 8, and 9 are placed in a bag. A card is drawn at random and then replaced. Then a card is drawn at ran

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Four cards numbered (1, 5, 8,9)

Given the sample space S= 4

1.The first selection with replacement

Probability of picking a 9= 1/4

2. Second selection, probability of picking a 9= 1/4

Hence the probability that both cards drawn have the number 9.

Is = (1/4)*(1/4)= 1/16

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl. In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl. How old are the girls n

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Cheryl's age = x

Rita's age = y

Two years ago, Rita was three times older than Cheryl

(y - 2) = 3(x - 2)

y - 2 = 3x - 6

y = 3x - 6 + 2

= 3x - 4

y = 3x - 4

In 3 years, Rita will be twice older than Cheryl

(y + 3) = 2(x + 3)

y + 3 = 2x + 6

y = 2x + 6 - 3

= 2x + 3

y = 2x + 3

Equate both equations

3x - 4 = 2x + 3

Collect like terms

3x - 2x = 3 + 4

x = 7 years

Substitute x = 7 into

y = 2x + 3

= 2(7) + 3

= 14 + 3

= 17

y = 17 years

Cheryl's age = x = 7 years

Rita's age = y = 17 years

Solve the following proportion: (round to the nearest tenths place if necessary)

romanna [79]

Solution:

4/7 = 10/x

To find the solution to the proportion, we will need to simplify the equation (4/7 = 10/x)

4/7 = 10/x
=> 4x = 70
=> x = 70/4 = 35/2 = 17.5.

Hoped this helped!
