Answer:

$\displaystyle y = -3x + 9$

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the rate of change of the line:

$\displaystyle \frac{-y_1 + y_2}{-x_1 + x_2} = m \\ \\ \frac{-6 + 3}{-1 + 2} = m \hookrightarrow \frac{-3}{1} = m \\ \\ \boxed{-3 = m}$

_______________________________________________

Now plug all the information into the Slope-Intercept Formula. It does not matter which ordered pair is chosen:

$\displaystyle 3 = -3[2] + b \hookrightarrow 3 = -6 + b; 9 = b \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{y = -3x + 9}} \\ \\ OR \\ \\ 6 = -3[1] + b \hookrightarrow 6 = -3 + b; 9 = b \\ \\ \boxed{\boxed{y = -3x + 9}}$

I am joyous to assist you at any time.

A parabola has its vertex at (2, 2), and the equation of its directrix is y = 2.5. The equation that represents the parabola is

Xelga [282]

Answer:

In vertex form the equation is $y=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)^2+2$

In standard form the equation is $y=-\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the directrix tells us that this is an x-squared parabola. Because the directrix is above the vertex, the parabola will open downward. The vertex form of this equation is:

$4p(y-k)=-(x-h)^2$

where p is the number of units between the directrix and the vertex. The number of units here is .5 or 1/2. Filling in the coordinates of the vertex and the p value of 1/2:

$4(.5)(y-2)=-(x-2)^2$

Simplifying we have:

$2(y-2)=-(x-2)^2$

Divide both sides by 2 to get:

$y-2=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)^2$

Add 2 to both sides to get the final vertex form:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)^2+2$

If you want that in standard form, you first need to expand the squared term to get:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}(x^2-4x+4)+2$

Order of operations tells us that we have to distribute in the -1/2 first to get:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x+2-2$

which simplifies to the standard form:

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x^2+2x$

A purse contains three $5 bills, four $10 bills, and two $20 bills. Two bills are selected without the first selection being rep

Karolina [17]

To find the probability of picking a five dollar bill and then another five dollar bill, you will find the chance of picking a five dollar bill the first time, and multiply by the probability of picking another one the second time.

There is a 3 out of 9 chance the first time because there are 3 - $5 dollar bills, and 9 total bills.

The second time there will be a 2 out of 8 chance, because if you picked a $5 dollar bill the first time, there should be 2 - $5 bills left and 8 total bills.

3/9 x 2/8 or 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12 chance.
