To write the equation of the line, we will use the point-slope formula.

To do this, we need a point and a slope.

We can find out slope by using the slope formula.

m = y₂ - y₁ / x₂ - x₁

So we have 5 - 9 / 3 - 1 or -4/2 which is -2.

Now let's use the point-slope formula.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

Now substitute one of our points (x₁, y₁) into our formula.

So we have y - 5 = -2(x - 3).

Distributing the -2 gives us y - 5 = -2x + 6.

Moving the -5 to the right, we have y = -2x + 11.

So y = -2x + 11 is our equation.

So first find the slope using the two given points (1,9), (3,5).

Use a formula: y2-y1/x2-x1 aka rise/run

So that makes it 5-9/3-1 = -4/2 = -2

Then you can plug in one of the given points and the slope you just found into the slope-intercept form equation.

Slope intercept form: y=mx + b
Plug in the points: (3,5) and slope - 2
5=-2(3) + b
5=-6+b
11=b
Now that we have our y intercept and our slope who can write the equation in slope-intercept form
Y = -2x + 11
This is the equation of the line. You can check it by plugging in the points given and seeing If it works

Good luck! :)

This probability distribution shows the typical distribution of pitches thrown to a batter in a given at bat in a baseball game.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

0.35

Step-by-step explanation:

This probability distribution is shown below:

Pitch                   1            2        3          4         5

Frequency         15         20      40        15        10

Probability         0.15     0.2      0.4      0.15      0.1

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = P(X < 3)

X  is the number of pitches thrown. Therefore:

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2)

The additive rule pf probability states that if two events X and Y are dependent events, the probability of X or Y occurring is the sum of their individual probability.

P(X < 3) = P(X = 1) or P(X = 2) = P(X = 1) + P(X = 2) = 0.15 + 0.2 = 0.35

The probability that the pitcher will throw fewer than 3 pitches to a batter = 0.35

Can someone help me with a question!?!?
Len [333]

If the parent graph f(x) = x² is changed to f(x) = 2x², the vertex of the parabola will still remain (0, 0) because whenever the equation of a parabola is in the form y = ax², the vertex will always be (0, 0).

Now if <em>a</em> is a big number, the parabola will become narrower.

So it will stretch vertically and become narrower.

Suppose we have 3 cards identical in form except that both sides of the first card are colored red, both sides of the second car
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

probability that the other side is colored black if the upper side of the chosen card is colored red = 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all;

Let B1 be the event that the card with two red sides is selected

Let B2 be the event that the

card with two black sides is selected

Let B3 be the event that the card with one red side and one black side is

selected

Let A be the event that the upper side of the selected card (when put down on the ground)

is red.

Now, from the question;

P(B3) = ⅓

P(A|B3) = ½

P(B1) = ⅓

P(A|B1) = 1

P(B2) = ⅓

P(A|B2)) = 0

(P(B3) = ⅓

P(A|B3) = ½

Now, we want to find the probability that the other side is colored black if the upper side of the chosen card is colored red. This probability is; P(B3|A). Thus, from the Bayes’ formula, it follows that;

P(B3|A) = [P(B3)•P(A|B3)]/[(P(B1)•P(A|B1)) + (P(B2)•P(A|B2)) + (P(B3)•P(A|B3))]

Thus;

P(B3|A) = [⅓×½]/[(⅓×1) + (⅓•0) + (⅓×½)]

P(B3|A) = (1/6)/(⅓ + 0 + 1/6)

P(B3|A) = (1/6)/(1/2)

P(B3|A) = 1/3
