Answer:
A, B, and C
Step-by-step explanation:
A) We can see if this is a horizontal line if its slope is 0. Slope is change in y divided by change in x, so: slope = . Thus, this is a horizontal line and the statement is correct.
B) Any equation of the form x = k, where k is a constant, will always be a straight line. Let's see if it goes through (-8, 3) by plugging in the values of -8 in for x and 3 in for y in the equation.
Clearly, we don't have a y, so we just put in the -8 for the x: -8 = -8. Since this is a true statement, we know that x = -8 does go through (-8, 3). So, this is a true statement.
C) We can see if this is a vertical line if its slope is undefined (for example, if the denominator is 0, it's undefined). Slope = = undefined. So, this is a vertical line and the statement is true.
D) As a basic fact, any point on a horizontal line will have the same y coordinate. However, their x coordinates may vary. Thus, the statement is false.
So, the answers are A, B, and C.

Answer: Hello your question is incomplete attached below is the missing
n ( 1 + n )
Step-by-step explanation:
P( Bob hits target ) = 1/3
P( Eve hits target ) = 2/3
P( Carol hits target ) = 1
<u>Compute the P that Bob wins in a duel against Eve alone</u>
P(Bob hits the target in first shot ) = n = 1/3
P(Bob hits the target in second shot ) = n^2 = ( 1/3 * 1/3 ) = 1/9
hence the probability of Bob winning( i.e. P( Bob wins Event E1 ) = n + n^2 = n ( 1 + n )
