Write the standard form of the equation of the line through the given points.

1 answer:

5 0

You first have to find the slope using the slope formula. That looks like this with our values: $\frac{-2-(-1)}{5-(-3)}=- \frac{1}{8}$ . So the slope is -1/8. Use one of the points to first write the equation in y = mx + b form. We have an x and a y to use from one of the points and we also have the slope we just found. Filling in accordingly to solve for b gives us $-2=5(- \frac{1}{8})+b$ and $-2=- \frac{5}{8}+b$ . Adding 5/8 to both sides and getting a common denominator gives us that $b=- \frac{11}{8}$ . Writing our slope-intercept form we have $y=- \frac{1}{8}x- \frac{11}{8}$ . Standard form for a line is Ax + By = C...no fractions allowed. So let's get rid of that 8 by multiplying each term by 8 to get 8y = -x - 11. Add x to both sides to get it into the correct form: x + 8y = -11

Answer: 20/33

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the table of statistics given for the politicians

number of Dem. Senator = 20

number of Rep. Senator = 13

Total for Senators = 33

Let E be the event,

The required probability is:

P(E) = P(Dem)

= 20/33

Two towers face each other separated by a distance = 15 m. As seen from the top of the first tower, the angle of depression of t

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Height of second tower = 17.32m

Step-by-step explanation:

I have attached a diagram depicting the question.

From the diagram, The first tower is depicted by side AEB and the second tower CD.

While d is the distance that separates the two towers and it's given as 15m.

Now, since the angle of depression of the second tower’s base is 60°, then for triangle BAC. Angle C = 60°.

Thus; using trigonometric ratios;

tan 60° = AB/AC.

This gives; AB = d*tan 60°

Similarly, for the triangle BED, BE = d*tan 30°

Since, AE = CD, thus ;

CD = AB − BE

CD = d (tan 60° − tan 30°)

CD = 15(1.7321 − 0.5774)

CD = 15 × 1.1547

CD ≈ 17.32 m.

So, height of second tower = 17.32 m

Determine whether each of the binary relation R defined on the given sets A is reflexive, symmetric, antisymmetric, or transitiv

ki77a [65]

Answer:

In explanation

Please let me know if something doesn't make sense.

Step-by-step explanation:

*This relation is not reflexive.

0 is an integer and (0,0) is not in the relation because 0(0)>0 is not true.

*This relation is symmetric because if a(b)>0 then b(a)>0 since multiplication is commutative.

*This relation is transitive.

Assume a(b)>0 and b(c)>0.

Note: This means not a,b, or c can be zero.

Therefore we have abbc>0.

Since b^2 is positive then ac is positive.

Since a(c)>0, then (a,c) is in R provided (a,b) and (b,c) is in R.

*The relation is not antisymmretric.

(3,2) and (2,3) are in R but 3 doesn't equal 2.

*This relation is reflective.

Since a^2=a^2 for any a, then (a,a) is in R.

*The relation is symmetric.

If a^2=b^2, then b^2=a^2.

*The relation is transitive.

If a^2=b^2 and b^2=c^2, then a^2=c^2.

*The relation is not antisymmretric.

(1,-1) and (-1,1) is in the relation but-1 doesn't equal 1.

*The relation is reflexive.

a/a=1 for any a in the naturals.

*The relation is not symmetric.

Wile 4/2 is an integer, 2/4 is not.

*The relation is transitive.

If a/b=z and b/c=y where z and y are integers, then a=bz and b=cy.

This means a=cyz. This implies a/c=yz.

Since the product of integers is an integer, then (a,c) is in the relation provided (a,b) and (b,c) are in the relation.

*The relation is antisymmretric.

Assume (a,b) is an R. (Note: a,b are natural numbers.) This means a/b is an integer. This also means a is either greater than or equal to b. If b is less than a, then (b,a) is not in R. If a=b, then (b,a) is in R. (Note: b/a=1 since b=a)
