You haven't shared the given line, so all I can do here is to invent a line and then show you how to write the equation of a new line which is parallel to mine and which has an x-intercept of 4.
My invented line: y = (2/3)x + 3
The new line MUST have the same slope: m = 2/3.
Then y = mx + b becomes y = (2/3)x + b. Find the x-intercept by setting y = 0 and solving for x: (2/3)x = 0 - b. Now replace x with 4 and find b:
-b = (2/3)(4) = 8/3. Then b = -8/3, and the new line is
y = (2/3)x - 8/3.
This question has this set of answer choices:
a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
b) when the plane passes through a pair of vertices that do not share a common face
c) when the plane is perpendicular to the base and intersects two adjacent vertical faces
d) when the plane makes an acute angle to the base and intersects three vertical faces
e) not enough information to answer the question
The right answer is the first choice: a) when the plane cuts three faces of the cube, separating one corner from the others
You can see a picture of this case in the figure attached: as you can see the cross section (in pink) is a triangle.
Answer:
4/9 probability you will get an even number
Step-by-step explanation:
The theoretical probability of spinning an even number is 4/9, since there are 4 even numbers in the spinner
