Slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
(m is the slope, b is the y-intercept or the y value when x = 0 --> (0, y) or the point where the line crosses through the y-axis)
For lines to be parallel, they need to have the same slope.
To find the slope (m), use the slope formula:
And plug in the two points
(-2, 7) = (x₁, y₁)
(4, -5) = (x₂, y₂)
(two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)
Simplify the fraction
m = -2
The slope is -2, so the parallel line's slope is also -2.
Your answer is C
'll use the binomial approach. We need to calculate the probabilities that 9, 10 or 11
<span>people have brown eyes. The probability that any one person has brown eyes is 0.8, </span>
<span>so the probability that they don't is 1 - 0.8 = 0.2. So the appropriate binomial terms are </span>
<span>(11 C 9)(0.8)^9*(0.2)^2 + (11 C 10)(0.8)^10*(0.2)^1 + (11 C 11)(0.8)^11*(0.2)^0 = </span>
<span>0.2953 + 0.2362 + 0.0859 = 0.6174, or about 61.7 %. Since this is over 50%, it </span>
<span>is more likely than not that 9 of 11 randomly chosen people have brown eyes, at </span>
<span>least in this region. </span>
<span>Note that (n C r) = n!/((n-r)!*r!). So (11 C 9) = 55, (11 C 10) = 11 and (11 C 0) = 1.</span>
Answer: 2/3, 2:3, and 2 to 3
Explanation: there are three different ways to write ratios - using fractions, semi colons, and the word “to”
