if A(2;2) and B(-3;4), determine the equation of AB, in the form y=mx+c​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a line:

The equation of a line has the following format:

[tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

In which m is the slope and c is the y-intercept(value of y when x = 0).

A(2;2) and B(-3;4)

When we have two points, the slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So

Change in y: 4 - 2 = 2

Change in x: -3 - 2 = -5

Slope: [tex]m = \frac{2}{-5} = -\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + c[/tex]

A(2;2)

When [tex]x = 2, y = 2[/tex]. We use this to find c.

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + c[/tex]

[tex]2 = -\frac{2}{5}(2) + c[/tex]

[tex]c = 2 + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{10}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

So

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{5}x + \frac{14}{5}[/tex]

How many solutions
Line A: x + y = 2
Line B: 2x + y = 4

Answers

Answer:

1 solution (2, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 2 → (1)

2x + y = 4 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate y

2x - x + y - y = 4 - 2 , that is

x + 0 = 2

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (1)

2 + y = 2 ( subtract 2 from both sides )

y = 0

one solution is (2, 0 )

A cup on the teacher's desk contains 12 pens. There are 3 pens with blue ink and 9 pens with black ink. One student at a time selects a pen at random to sign the attendance sheet and then puts the pen back in the cup.

What is the probability that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink?

A. 1/4
B. 1/27
C. 1/64
D. 1/220

Answers

We have 12 pens in total

P(first three pens are blue with replacement) = 3/12 * 3/12 * 3/12 =

(1/4) * (1/4) * (1/4) =

1/ 64

The required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink is 1/64. option C is correct.

Given that,
A cup on the teacher's desk contains 12 pens. There are 3 pens with blue ink and 9 pens with black ink. One student at a time selects a pen at random to sign the attendance sheet and then puts the pen back in the cup.

What is probability?

Probability can be defined as the ratio of favorable outcomes to the total number of events.

Here,
Total number of sample = 12
Favorable outcome = 3
Required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink = 3 / 12 × 3 / 12 × 3 / 12
                             = 1 / 64

Thus, the required probability  that the first three students all randomly select a pen with blue ink is 1/64. option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

∠2 + 139° = 180°

∠2 = 180° - 139°

∠2 = 41°

Answer:

[tex] \displaystyle \angle2 = \bigg[{41}^{ \circ} \bigg][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given a right angle triangle

we want to figure out the missing interior angle

recall that,

one of angle measure of a right angle triangle is 90° interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°

thus our equation is

[tex] \displaystyle {49}^{ \circ} + \angle2 + {90}^{ \circ} = {180}^{ \circ} [/tex]

simplify addition:

[tex] \displaystyle \angle2 + {139}^{ \circ} = {180}^{ \circ} [/tex]

cancel 139° from both sides:

[tex] \displaystyle \angle2 = {41}^{ \circ} [/tex]

hence,

the measure of the missing angle is 41°

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because the 3 angles of a triangle have to add up to 180 degrees. The given 2 angles already add up to 180 degrees leaving no room for the missing angle.

Answers

Answer:

A]  37 / 3 = 12 1/3 ; B] 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let small popcorn bag hold = p units popcorn. So, large popcorn bag hold 4 times ie 4p units popcorn.

Left popcorn = 3 1/3 ie 10 / 3 small bags , & 2 1/4 ie 9 / 4 large bags.  

So, total popcorn left = Sum( No. of popcorn in each bag x no of bags) =        [ 10 p / 3 ] +  [ (9 x 4) p / 4 ] = 10p / 3 + 9p  = (10p + 27p) / 3 = 37p / 3

A] Small bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per small bag popcorn  = ( 37p / 3 ) / (p)  = 37 / 3 = 12 1/3

B] Large bags for left popcorn = Total left popcorn / Per large bag popcorn   =  ( 37p / 3 ) / (4p) = 37 / 12 = 3 1/12

8.5 in

Step-by-step explanation:

You are solving for the hypotenuse right? So you would use this formula:

c = square root a^2+b^2

the c is the hypotenuse (long side of a right triangle) and a will be 4 and b will be 7.5. substitute the numbers in, solve, and you get 8.5 inches!

x = square root 4^2 + 7.5^2

x = square root 16 + 56.25

x = square root 72.25

x = 8.5 inches
