Answer:

P = 7/3 and q = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The endpoints of the segment are, (3, -4) and (1, 2)

The points that trisect the given points are P and Q with coordinates (p, -2) and (5/3, q) respectively

Therefore, we have;

The first point of the trisection cuts 1/3 of the length from one point and the second point of the trisection cuts 2/3 of the length from the same point

The coordinates of P or Q = (3 - (3 - 1)/3, -4 - (-4 - 2)/3) = (7/3 , -2)

Therefore, given that the y-coordinate value of the derived point coincides with the y-coordinate value of the point P, (p, -2) and there is only one point with x = -2 on the line, we have that the coordinate of the point P is (p, -2) = (7/3 , -2)

∴ P = 7/3

Similarly we have the second point of the trisection, Q, given as follows;

We are already given the x-coordinate value of the point Q as the 5/3 in (5/3, q)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (3 - 2×(3 - 1)/3, -4 - 2×(-4 - 2)/3) = (5/3 , 0)

Point Q = (5/3, q) = (5/3 , 0)

∴ q = 0.

1. Check the tree diagram in the picture attached.

2. The blue segment represents "on time"
    The red segment represents "not on time"


3. blue - blue - red represents the case 1st on time, 2nd on time, 3rd not on time.

the combined probability is 90/100*90/100*10/100=9/10*9/10*1/10=99/1000=0.099

4. Remark with a tree diagram we can tell anything asked about the probability of an experiment.

Answer:

Temperature is the measure of hotness or coldness expressed in terms of any of several scales. An example  would be "The cup of beans are boiling hot and has a temperature of 100 °C, whereas the water in the tub is just comfortably warm, with a temperature of about 38 °C. Although the water in the tub has a much lower temperature, it has greater thermal energy".

Write the equation of a line that is perpendicular to y = 5 y=5y, equals, 5 and that passes through the point ( − 7 , − 5 ) (−7,
Jlenok [28]
The line of the equation perpendicular to y=5 and cuts through (-5,-7) will be given by
m(x-x1)=y-y1
where m=slope.
from y=0x+5, the slope of the perpendicular line m=0,
thus the equation will be:
0(x--5)=y--7
0=y+7
y=-7
The equation is y=-7
