Are you given an equation?
Answer:
Option B. It represents a nonlinear function because its points are not on a straight line.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let

we know that
If point A,B and C are on a straight line
then
The slope of AB must be equal to the slope of AC
The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to

<em>Find the slope AB</em>

substitute in the formula

<em>Find the slope AC</em>

substitute in the formula

so

Points A, B and C are not on a straight line
therefore
It represents a nonlinear function because its points are not on a straight line
A.A’(5,-5),B’(1,-5),C’(1,-2)
To find the probability of landing on a triangle, you will want find the combined areas of the triangles and the total area of the square target.
Divide the area of the combined areas and the total area to find the probability of landing on a triangle.
A = 1/2bh
1/2 x 8 x 8
A = 32 square inches
32 x 4
128 square inches (areas of triangles)
A = bh
26 x 26
A = 676 square inches
128/676 = 0.189
There is an approximate probability of 0.19 of hitting a triangle.
