Answer:

The coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

As m is the midpoint, so

m(x, y) = m (-7, -2.5)

The other point a is given by

a(x₁, y₁) = a(-9, -4)

To determine

We need to determine the coordinates of the point b

= ?

Using the midpoint formula

\left(x,\:y\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+x_1}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+y_1}{2}\right)

substituting (x, y) = (-7, -2.5), (x₁, y₁) = (-9, -4)

\left(-7,\:-2.5\right)=\left(\frac{x_2+\left(-9\right)}{2},\:\:\frac{y_2+\left(-4\right)}{2}\right)

Thus equvating,

Determining the x-coordinate of b

[x₂ + (-9)] / 2 = -7

x₂ + (-9) = -14

x₂ - 9 = -14

adding 9 to both sides

x₂ - 9 + 9 = -14 + 9

x₂ = -5

Determining the y-coordinate of b

[y₂ + (-4)] / 2 = -2.5

y₂ + (-4) = -2.5(2)

y₂ - 4 = -5

adding 4 to both sides

y₂ - 4 + 4 = -5 + 4

y₂ = -1

Therefore, the coordinates of the point b are:

b(x₂, y₂)  = (-5, -1)

An urn contains 6 red balls, 8 green balls, and 10 white balls. If balls are selected one by one (without replacing them after t
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

0.43478

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given:

The \  required  \ probability = P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = red) + P(1st ball = red) \times P(2nd ball = white)  + P(2nd ball = red) \times P(1st ball = white) + P(1st ball = white) \times P(2nd ball = white)

= \dfrac{6}{6+8+10}\times  \dfrac{5}{5+8+10} +  \dfrac{6}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{10}{5+8+10} +  \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{6}{5+8+10} \times  \dfrac{10}{6+8+10} \times  \dfrac{9}{5+8+9}

=(\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{5}{23})+ (\dfrac{6}{24}\times \dfrac{10}{23}) +( \dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{6}{23} ) + (\dfrac{10}{24}\times \dfrac{9}{23})

= 0.05434782609 + 0.1086956522  + 0.1086956522  + 0.1630434783

= 0.4347826088

≅ 0.43478
