Answer:

y = -x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is x + y = 1.

First, let's put this into standard form.

x + y = 1

y = -x + 1

Now we have an equation in standard form. Its slope is -1. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of -1.

Plug this value (-1) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (-7, 0). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

0 = -1(-7) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (-7)

0 = 7 + b

Now, subtract 7 from both sides to isolate b.

-7 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -x - 7

This equation is parallel to your given equation (y = -x + 1) and contains point (-7, 0)

Hope this helps!

Answer:

probability that he or she will answer at least 4 problems correctly = 0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

probability that he or she will answer at least 4 problems correctly is given as;

P (at least 4 correctly) = P (exactly 4 correctly) + P (all 5 correctly)

Since there are 10 problems. 4 is from the 7 problems chosen and 1 is from the 3 problems we can't figure out. Thus, P(exactly 4 correctly) = 7C4 x 3C1

Thus, P (at least 4 correctly) = [ (7C4) x (3C1) ] / (10C5)] + [(7C5)/(10C5)]

= [(35 x3)/252 ] + [21/252]

= [ 105/252 ] + [ 21/252 ]

= 126 / 252

= 0.5

Which function could be represented by the graph on the coordinate plane?

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The equation of a vertical parabola into vertex form is equal to

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} +k$

where (h,k) is the vertex of the parabola

The axis of symmetry is equal to

$x=h$

In this problem the parabola open upward

the coefficient a is positive

The coordinates of the vertex will be $(h,-k)$ (the y-coordinate is negative)

the equation will be of the form

$f(x)=a(x-h)^{2} -k$

It's C. When you're dividing g(x) by f(x), you get the equations in both B. and C., but C is more correct because you can't have x=-1/3 because the function is undefined at that number (you can't have the denominator equal 0)

ABCD is a trapezoid.<br> What is the area of trapezoid?

lana [24]

Let h represent the height of the trapezoid, the perpendicular distance between AB and DC. Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (1/2)(AB + DC)·h
We are given a relationship between AB and DC, so we can write
Area = (1/2)(AB + AB/4)·h = (5/8)AB·h

The given dimensions let us determine the area of ∆BCE to be
Area ∆BCE = (1/2)(5 cm)(12 cm) = 30 cm²

The total area of the trapezoid is also the sum of the areas ...
Area = Area ∆BCE + Area ∆ABE + Area ∆DCE
Since AE = 1/3(AD), the perpendicular distance from E to AB will be h/3. The areas of the two smaller triangles can be computed as
Area ∆ABE = (1/2)(AB)·h/3 = (1/6)AB·h
Area ∆DCE = (1/2)(DC)·(2/3)h = (1/2)(AB/4)·(2/3)h = (1/12)AB·h

Putting all of the above into the equation for the total area of the trapezoid, we have
Area = (5/8)AB·h = 30 cm² + (1/6)AB·h + (1/12)AB·h
(5/8 -1/6 -1/12)AB·h = 30 cm²
AB·h = (30 cm²)/(3/8) = 80 cm²

Then the area of the trapezoid is
Area = (5/8)AB·h = (5/8)·80 cm² = 50 cm²
