Parallel lines need the same slope, and for y = 1/2x + 4, it is 1/2.

Let's solve for b.

2 = 1/2(-6) + b
2 = -3 + b
Add 3 on both sides.
5 = b

y = 1/2x + 5

Rectangle 1 has length x and width y. Rectangle 2 is made by multiplying each dimension of Rectangle 1 by a factor of k, where k
Alika [10]

Yes, the two rectangles are similar, because rectangle 2 is a dilation of rectangle 1.

<h3>Are the two rectangles similar?</h3>

We know that rectangle 1 has dimensions L and W.

And rectangle 2 is made by multiplying the dimensions of rectangle 1 by a factor k > 0.

Then, rectangle 2 is just a dilation of rectangle 1, this means that in fact, the two rectangles are similar by definition.

Then:

Dimensions of rectangle 1:

  • Length = L
  • Width = W.
  • Perimeter = 2*(W + L)
  • Area = W*L

For rectangle 2:

  • Length = k*L
  • Width = k*W
  • Perimeter = 2*(k*L + k*W) = k*(2*(L + W))
  • Area = (k*L)*(k*W) = k²(L*W)

Above we can see that the perimeter of rectangle 2 is k times the perimeter of rectangle 1, and the area of rectangle 2 is k squared times the area of the rectangle 1.

Suppose you just received a shipment of twelve televisions. Three of the televisions are defective. If two televisions are rando
qwelly [4]

Answer: The probability that both televisions work is 0.5625 .

The probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work is 0.4375.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Number of televisions received in shipment= 12

Number of defective televisions received in shipment= 3

Then proportion of defective televisions =\dfrac{3}{12}=0.25

Using binomial probability formula, the probability of getting success in x trials is given by :-

P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}

If two televisions are randomly​ selected, then the probability that both televisions work will be :-

P(0)=^2C_0(0.25)^0(0.75)^2=(0.75)^2=0.5625

The probability at least one of the two televisions does not​ work will be :-

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)=1-0.5625=0.4375
