Step-by-step explanation:

To find an equation of a line in point slope form when given the slope and a point we use the formula

$y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)$

where

m is the slope

( x1 , y1) is the point

From the question we have the final answer as

$\huge y + 5 = \frac{1}{2} (x - 6) \\$

Hope this helps you

The probability that a student participates in both sports and drama is $0.14$ .

<h3>What is the formula for P(AUB), where A and B are any two events?</h3>

If $A$ and $B$ are any two events, then the probability of the joint event $(A\cup B)$ is given by the following formula: $P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$

Given that 42% of the students participate in sports and 25% of the students participate in drama and 53% of the students participate in either sports or drama.

Suppose $S$ denotes that "a student participates in sports" and $D$ denotes that "a student participates in drama".
So, we have $P(S)=\frac{42}{100}=0.42$ , $P(D)=\frac{25}{100}=0.25$ , $P(S\cup D)=\frac{53}{100}=0.53$ .

We want to find the probability that a student participates in both sports and drama i.e., we want to find $P(S\cap D)$ .

By the above formula, we obtain:

$P(S\cup D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cap D)\\\Longrightarrow P(S\cap D)=P(S)+P(D)-P(S\cup D)\\\Longrightarrow P(S\cap D)=0.42+0.25-0.53\\\therefore P(S\cap D)=0.14=\frac{14}{100}$

Therefore, the probability that a student participates in both sports and drama is $0.14$ .

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (1, –5) and (4, 1)?

xxMikexx [17]

You are given two points that could be plotted on a graph (1,-5) and (4,1). The formula for slope is y2-y1/x2 -x1

When plotted into the points it would look like 1-(-5)/4-1= 6/3

6/3=2. So, the slope for these two points is 2.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

1098.0266 square meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a circle is pi times radius squared. We know the diameter, witch is twice the radius. Usually we use 3.14 as pi, but it can also be 22/7. If you have to show your work, try looking for if it asks for pi in the decimal or fraction form. Can I get brainliest?
