Line b passes through points (9, 1) and (1, 6). Line c passes through points (10, 7) and (2, 12). Are line b and line c parallel
1 answer:
<h2>Answer: Lines b & c are parallel.⇄</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
- When lines are perpendicular, the product of their slope is -1 (the slopes are negative reciprocal).
- When lines are parallel, they have the same slope.
Slope = ( y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
Slope of Line b = ( 6 - 1 ) ÷ ( 1 - 9 )
= 5 ÷ (- 8)
= - ⁵/₈
Slope of Line c = ( 12 - 7 ) ÷ ( 2 - 10 )
= - ⁵/₈
⇒ Line b ║ Line c

Answer:
57.8125% or approx. 57.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a 1/4, or 25%, or 0.25 chance that an egg has salmonella.
Thus, there is a 75%, or 0.75 chance that an egg DOESN'T contain salmonella.
Let's find the probability that all 3 of Larry's eggs are free from salmonella. Larry would have to hit that 75% chance 3 times in a row. The chance of that happening is:
0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 = = 0.421875
From this, we can deduce that if there is a 0.421875 (42.1875%) chance that all eggs are safe to eat, there must be a...
1 - 0.421875 = 0.578125
...0.578125 (57.8125%) chance that 1 or more of Larry's eggs do have salmonella.
Answer: approx. 57.8% or 57.8125%
