Answer:

Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.

She divided -3 by 6 instead of -3 by 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

(x_2,y_2) = (\frac{2}{3},1)

<em>See attached for steps</em>

Required

Explain Cody's error

<em>Cody made a mistake when calculating the slope of the line and this affected every other steps after than.</em>

See Proof

Slope (m) is calculated as thus:

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

m =\frac{1 - 4}{\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2}}

m =-\frac{ 3}{\frac{1}{6}}

m = -3/\frac{1}{6}

m = -3 * 6

m = -18

This is in contrast to m = -\frac{1}{2}, calculated by Cody

Solving further to determine the equation.

y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (\frac{1}{2},4)

m = -18

y - 4 = -18(x - \frac{1}{2})

y - 4 = -18x + 9

Collect Like Terms

y + 18x = 9 + 4

y + 18x = 13

The Lacrosse booster club is holding a raffle for a fundraiser. They will sell 100 tickets for $5 each and select 4 winners. All
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

<h2>There are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is about combinations with no repetitions, because the same person can't win four times. It's a combinaction because the order of winning doesn't really matter.

Combinations without repetitions are defined as

C_{n}^{r}  =\frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Where n=100 and r=4.

Replacing values, we have

C_{100}^{4}  =\frac{100!}{4!(100-4)!}=\frac{100!}{4! 96!}=\frac{100 \times 99 \times 98 \times 97 \times 96!}{4! \times 96!}=  \frac{94,109,400}{24}= 3,921,225

Therefore, there are 3,921,225 ways to select the winners.

Additionally, as you can imagine, the probability of winning is extremely low, it would be 3,921,225 to 1.

liraira [26]

Answer:

No she doesn't have enough paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the area of both walls then subtract both areas by 250. It would give you a negative number, meaning there is not enough paint.

Maths question trigonometry help pleassssee
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

x=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using sohcahtoa we know tangent is equal to (length of side opposite to the angle ) / (lenth of side adjacent to the angle)

therefore: tan (theta) = (x-3) / (x) = 1 / 3

now cross multiply

3(x-3) = x

now solve for x

3x - 9 = x

-9= -2x

x= 4.5
