The incomplete table above summarizes the number of left-handed students and right-handed students by gender for the eighth grad
e students at Keisel Middle School. There are 5 times as many right-handed female students as there are left-handed female students, and there are 9 times as many right-handed male students as there are left-handed male students. if there is a total of 18 left-handed students and 122 right-handed students in the school, which of the following is closest to the probability that a right-handed student selected at random is female? (Note: Assume that none of the eighth-grade students are both right-handed and left-handed.)
A) 0.410
B) 0.357
C) 0.333
D) 0.250
A) 0.410

Answer:
The graph of the equation 40.51x+12.45y=666.64 is attached with the answer where the horizontal axis represents the X axis and the vertical axis represents Y axis.
To plot the graph physically just find two points lying on the line. Mark the points on the graph sheet and then join them. This will give you the line represented by the equation.
To find points on the line assume the value of any one variable, substitute it in the equation, then solve the equation to find the value of other variable. For example : assume y = 1; substitute the value of y in the equation;
⇒ 40.51x + 12.45×1 = 666.64
⇒ 40.51x = 666.64 - 12.45
⇒ 40.51x = 654.19
⇒ x =
⇒ x ≈ 16.149
Therefore point ( 16.149 , 1 ) lie on the graph of the equation.
***Only two points are required to plot this graph just because it represents a straight line, that we can conclude just by observing the equation. If in an equation the power of x is 1 or 0 and power of y is 1 or 0 then only it will represent a straight line in 2-D plane.***
The standard equation of a circle is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where the center is at point (h,k)
From the statement of the problem, it is already established that h = 2 and k = -5. What we have to determine is the value of r. This could be calculated by calculating the distance between the center and point (-2,10). The formula would be
r = square root [(x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)]
r = square root [(2--2)^2 + (-5-10)^2)]
r = square root (241)
r^2 = 241
Thus, the equation of the circle is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
where the center is at point (h,k)
