EXPLANATION
The table contains these two points (-4,-3) and (2,-4.5)
The slope of this line is given by;
The y-intercept can be obtained by finding the equation of the line in the form:
We plug in the slope and the point (-4,-3) to find c.
This implies that,
Hence the y-intercept is -4.
The given line is
This is already in the slope intercept form:
The slope is
The y-intercept is c=1
If he hits the target 95% of the time, then you could say that he has a probability of 0.95, or 95% of hitting the target. Let p = the probability of hitting the target or p = 0.95. So you are interested that he misses the target at least once - this could be thought of as not getting a perfect score. So to get a perfect score, it is 0.95 for each target -- 0.95^15 for 15 targets is 0.464. Thus to miss at least one target he needs to NOT have a perfect score -- 1 - 0.464 = 0.536, or 53.6% of happening. Enjoy
The scale factor can change how big or small a figure is, though it will still be similar. For example, a triangle with two sides measuring 3 & 3 (isosceles) are scaled in a factor of 6 (becoming larger).
3 x 6 = 18
The new triangle will have the sides measuring 18. Even though the triangles are not congruent, they are similar.
hope this helps
