Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -3x +3

We want to find the x intercept

Set y = 0 and solve for x

0 = -3x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

-3 = -3x

Divide each side by -3

-3/-3 = -3x/-3

1 =x

There are a rack of 14 billiard balls. Balls numbered 1 through 8 are solid-colored. Balls numbered 9 through 14 contain stripes

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

3/7 / 42.8% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 6 striped balls (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) and 8 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8) solid colored balls. So, 6 / 14 balls are striped.

(6 / 14 = 3 / 7)

this means that the probability of a ball being striped has the odds of 3/7

(3/7 = about 42.8% chance)

A,B and C are the vertices of one triangle.

dsp73

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The triangle with coordinate A(4,6), B(2,-2) and C(-2,-4). D is the mid point of AB and E is the mid point of AC.

To prove: DE is parallel to BC.

Construction: Join DE.

Proof: If we prove the basic proportionality theorem that is $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$ , then it proves that DE is parallel to BC.

Now, Mid Point D has coordinates= $(\frac{4+2}{2},\frac{6-2}{2})=(3,2)$ and Mid Point E has coordinates= $(\frac{4-2}{2},\frac{6-4}{2})=(1,1)$

Now, AD= $\sqrt{(4-3)^{2}+(6-2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}$

DB= $\sqrt{(3-2)^{2}+(2+2)^{2}}=\sqrt{17}$

AE= $\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(6-1)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}$

EC= $\sqrt{(1+2)^{2}+(1+4)^{2}}=\sqrt{34}$

Now, $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$

= $\frac{\sqrt{17}}{\sqrt{17}}=\frac{\sqrt{34}}{\sqrt{34}}=\frac{1}{1}$

Hence, $\frac{AD}{DB}=\frac{AE}{EC}$

Thus, By basic proportionality theorem, DE is parallel to BC.
