Use the given slope and the y-intercept of a line to write an equation in slope-intercept form.

Which line is parallel to the line<br> shown below?

Travka [436]

<h3>Answer: Choice D</h3>

4x - 3y = 15

====================================================

Explanation:

The two points (-1,-1) and (2,3) are marked on the line

Let's find the slope of the line through those two points.

$(x_1,y_1) = (-1,-1) \text{ and } (x_2,y_2) = (2,3)\\\\m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}\\\\m = \frac{3 - (-1)}{2 - (-1)}\\\\m = \frac{3 + 1}{2 + 1}\\\\m = \frac{4}{3}\\\\$

The slope is 4/3 meaning we go up 4 and to the right 3.

-------------

Parallel lines have equal slopes, but different y intercepts. We'll need to see which of the four answer choices have a slope of 4/3.

Solve the equation in choice A for y. The goal is to get it into y = mx+b form so we can determine the slope m.

$3x + 4y = -4\\\\4y = -3x-4\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{4}{4}\\\\y = -\frac{3}{4}x-1$

Equation A has a slope of -3/4 and not 4/3 like we want.

Therefore, this answer choice is crossed off the list.

Follow similar steps for choices B through D. I'll show the slopes of each so you can check your work.

slope of equation B is 3/4
slope of equation C is -4/3
slope of equation D is 4/3

We have a match with equation D. Therefore, the equation 4x-3y = 15 is parallel to the given line shown in the graph.

You can use graphing tools like Desmos or GeoGebra to confirm the answer.

Every time I use a piece of scrap paper, I crumple it up and try to shoot it inside the recycling bin across the room. I'm prett

Using the binomial distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

<h3>What is the binomial distribution formula?</h3>

The formula is:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

n is the number of trials.

p is the probability of a success on a single trial.

With 5 shoots, the probability of making at least one is $\frac{211}{243}$ , hence the probability of making none, P(X = 0), is $\frac{232}{243}$ , hence:

$(1 - p)^5 = \frac{232}{243}$

$\sqrt[5]{(1 - p)^5} = \sqrt[5]{\frac{232}{243}}$

1 - p = 0.9908

p = 0.0092

Then, with 6 shoots, the parameters are:

n = 6, p = 0.0092.

The probability that at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin is:

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2)$

In which:

[P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1)

Then:

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 0) = C_{6,0}.(0.0092)^{0}.(0.9908)^{6} = 0.9461$

$P(X = 1) = C_{6,1}.(0.0092)^{1}.(0.9908)^{5} = 0.0527$

Then:

P(X < 2) = P(X = 0) + P(X = 1) = 0.9461 + 0.0527 = 0.9988

$P(X \geq 2) = 1 - P(X < 2) = 1 - 0.9988 = 0.0012$

0.0012 = 0.12% probability at least two of them make it inside the recycling bin.

PLZ HELP its Triangle Properties and where using the 45º-45º-90º Triangle Theorem and the 30º-60º-90º Triangle Theorem.

den301095 [7]

Answer:

The answer to your questions is below

Step-by-step explanation:

4.-

In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the length of the legs are "x" and the length of the hypotenuse is x $\sqrt{2}$

Then, in this problem, the length of the leg is 7 then the length of the hypotenuse will be 7 $\sqrt{2}$

5.- In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2x, the length of the longer leg is x $\sqrt{3}$ and the length of the shorter leg is x.
