Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]y=-3x-8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

Midpoint: [tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex] where the endpoints are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)Perpendicular lines always have slopes that are negative reciprocals (ex. 2 and -1/2, 3/4 and -4/3, etc.)

1) Determine the midpoint of the line segment

When two lines bisect each other, they intersect at the middle of each line, or the midpoint.

[tex](\frac{x_1+x_2}{2} ,\frac{y_1+y_2}{2} )[/tex]

Plug in the endpoints (5, -3) and (-7, -7)

[tex](\frac{5+(-7)}{2} ,\frac{-3+(-7)}{2} )\\(\frac{-2}{2} ,\frac{-10}{2} )\\(-1,-5)[/tex]

Therefore, the midpoint of the line segment is (-1,-5).

2) Determine the slope of the line segment

Recall that the slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals. Doing this will help us determine the slope of the perpendicular bisector.

Slope = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] where the given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Plug in the endpoints (5, -3) and (-7, -7)

[tex]\frac{-7-(-3)}{-7-5}\\\frac{-7+3}{-7-5}\\\frac{-4}{-12}\\\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line segment is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]. The negative reciprocal of [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] is -3, so the slope of the perpendicular is -3. Plug this into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]

3) Determine the y-intercept of the perpendicular bisector (b)

[tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]

Recall that the midpoint of the line segment is is (-1,-5), and that the perpendicular bisector passes through this point. Plug this point into [tex]y=-3x+b[/tex] and solve for b:

[tex]-5=-3(-1)+b\\-5=3+b[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides

[tex]-5-3=3+b-3\\-8=b[/tex]

Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is -8. Plug this back into [tex]y=-3x+b[/tex]:

[tex]y=-3x-8[/tex]

I hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

7.1×10⁵ = 710,000

Answer:

The answer is B. 7.1 times 10^5.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert a number to scientific notation, place or move the decimal point of a number until the coefficient of the number is greater than 1 and less than 10. Record down the coefficient and count the number of steps the decimal point was moved. The number of steps moved is taken as the exponent.

In 710,000, the decimal is moved to the left 5 times. Thus, causing 710,000 to written as 7.1 times 10^5 in scientific notation.

Answers

I am assuming that finding the x and y value is the goal for this question since it is not clarified.

So x = y + 3 is a equation we can plug in for x to find the y value.

-2(y+3) + 9y = 8

-2y - 6 + 9y = 8

7y - 6 = 8

7y = 15

y = 15/7

Plug in for the y value since that is now determined to find out x value.

x = 15/7 + 3

x = 15/7 + 21/7

x = 36/7

Two cards are drawn without replacement from an ordinary​ deck, find the probability that the second is not a black card​, given that the first is a black card. What is the conditional​ probability?

Answers

Answer:

(a)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

(b)  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Probability is the likelihood of whether or not an event will occur. It is given by the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the number of expected outcomes. i.e

P = number of favourable outcomes / total number of possible outcomes

For drawing a first card which is black,

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 black cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 52 (since the total number of cards in a deck of card is 52)

∴ Probability of drawing the first black card = 26 / 52 = 1 / 13

Since the second card is not a black card, it is a red card.

number of favourable outcomes = 26 (since there are a total of 26 red cards in a deck of card)

total number of possible outcomes = 51 (since a black card has been previously picked from the deck)

∴ Probability of drawing a second black card = 26 / 51

The probability that the second is not a black card is 26 / 51

(ii) The conditional probability of a given event B is the probability that the event will occur knowing that a previous event A has already occurred,

It is given by;

P(B|A) = P(A and B) ÷ P(A)

In this case;

event B is drawing a second card which is not black

event A is drawing a first card which is black

This implies that;

P(A and B) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

P(A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

Substitute these values in the equation for conditional probability as follows;

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] ÷ [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{1}{13}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{13}{1}[/tex]

P(B|A) = [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

Therefore the conditional probability is  [tex]\frac{26}{51}[/tex]

An airplane flying into a headwind travels the -mile flying distance between Indianapolis, Indiana, and Phoenix, Arizona, in hours. On the return flight, the airplane travels this distance in hours and minutes. Find the airspeed of the plane and the speed of the wind, assuming that both remain constant.

Answers

Answer:

the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Step-by-step explanation:

The values are missing in the given information in the question.

To able to solve this question, we will make some assumptions.

Let's assume that:

The airplane heading into the wind travels 1800 miles in 3 hours.

While returning via the same distance, it travels 2 hours 30 minutes.

We are to determine the plane's airspeed as well as the wind speed.

First, let us say that the speed of the plane is p and the wind speed is q

during the time the plane is traveling for 1800 miles in 3 hrs.

Then, we can say

3p -3q = 1800 ----- (1)

However, in  2hours 30 minutes, we have 2.5 hours

So, when the plane is returning, we have the following equation:

2.5p + 2.5q = 1800 ---- (2)

So, to find p and q, we can use the elimination method.

Simply by multiplying equation (1) with 5 and equation (2) with 6

 (5)3p    -  (5)3q     = (5) 1800

 (6)2.5p  + (6)2.5q = (6) 1800            

  15p -  15q  = 9000

+

 15p + 15q   = 10800      

 30p -  0     = 19800      

30p = 19800

p = 19800/30

p = 660

Since p = 660, then from equation (1) we can obtain the value of q:

So; Using equation (1):

3p -3q = 1800

3(660) - 3q = 1800

1980 - 3q = 1800

-3q = 1800 - 1980

-3q = -180

q = 180/3

q = 60

Therefore, the airspeed of the plane = 660 miles/hr

the speed of the wind = 60 miles/hr

Answers

Answer:

[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]C =(2,7)[/tex]

 [tex]M=(-1,-1)[/tex]

Required

The coordinates of D

Represent D with:

[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]

Using midpoint formula, we have:

[tex]M(x,y) = \frac{1}{2}(x_1 + x_2, y_1 + y_2)[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](-1,-1) = \frac{1}{2}(2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 2

[tex](-2,-2) = (2 + x_2, 7 + y_2)[/tex]

Compare both sides

[tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex]

[tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex]

In [tex]2 + x_2 = -2[/tex], we have:

[tex]x_2 =-2-2[/tex]

[tex]x_2 =-4[/tex]

In [tex]7 + y_2 =-2[/tex], we have:

[tex]y_2 = -2 - 7[/tex]

[tex]y_2 = -9[/tex]

So, the coordinates of D is:

[tex]D = (x_2,y_2)[/tex]

[tex]D = (-4,-9)[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a month of the year is chosen at random, to determine what is the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M, the following calculation must be performed:

January - March - May - June - July = 5 months

(5/12) x 100 = X

0.4166 x 100 = X

41.66 = X

Therefore, the probability that the month starts with the letter J or the letter M is 41.66%.

Answer:

5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Months that start with the letter M are March and May

Months that start with J are January, June, July

So, in total the months that start with J and M are 5 in number.

Total number of months = 12

Therefore the probability = 5/12 or 0.416 (bar on 6)
