Points (5,2), (1,0) and (a,5) lie on the same straight line. Then the value of a is a) 15 b) 13 c)11 d)9​

Answers

Answer 1

Hello,

the line passing through (5,2) and (1,0) has for equation:

y-0=(x-1)*(-2)/(-4) or y=x/2-0.5

if y= 5 then 5=x/2-0.5 ==> 5.5=x/2 ==> x=11

Answer C

Answer 2

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the points lie on the same line then the slope between consecutive points will be the same.

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = [tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (5, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 0)

m = [tex]\frac{0-2}{1-5}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-2}{-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Calculate the slope again and equate to [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (a, 5)

m = [tex]\frac{5-0}{a-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , so

[tex]\frac{5}{a-1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

a - 1 = 10 ( add 1 to both sides )

a = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

53:36

265:180

The ratio of time Dhanu spent playing with model railway to the time riding bicycle is 53 : 35.

What is the ratio of the time spent playing with model railway to the time riding bicycle ?

Ratio expresses the relationship between two or more numbers. It shows the frequency of the number of times that one value is contained within other value(s).

Time spent playing with the model railway = 4 hours 25 minutes.

Converting the time to minutes = (4 x 60) + 25 = 265 minutes

Time in minutes spent riding a bicycle = 60 x 3 = 180

Ratio of the minutes - 265 : 180

53 : 35

is AC greater than, less than, or equal to BC? explain your reasoning

Answers

Answer:

AC is greater than BC

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we know that the angle of a straight line is 180°, so angle B as a whole is equal to 180 degrees. Therefore, angle YBC + angle ABC = 180 degrees. As angle YBC is a right angle, signified by the small square on the angle, it is 90 degrees. Therefore,

90 degrees + angle ABC = 180 degrees

subtract 90 degrees from both sides to isolate angle ABC

angle ABC = 90 degrees

Therefore, as angle ABC is equal to 90 degrees, and a right angle is 90 degrees, triangle ABC has a right angle, making it a right triangle.

In a right triangle, using the Pythagorean Theorem, the square of the side opposite the right angle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other side. Since side AC is opposite the right angle, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

As the length of a side has to be greater than 0, we can say that

AC² = AB² + BC²

AB² > 0

AC² > BC²

square root both sides

AC > BC

Therefore, AC is greater than BC

Write the equation for a parabola with a focus at (6,-4) and a directrix at y= -7

Answers

Given:

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

Directrix at y=-7.

To find:

The equation of the parabola.

Solution:

The general equation of a parabola is:

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k[/tex]                  ...(i)

Where, (h,k) is vertex, (h,k+p) is the focus and y=k-p is the directrix.

The focus of the parabola is at (6,-4).

[tex](h,k+p)=(6,-4)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]h=6[/tex]

[tex]k+p=-4[/tex]                            ...(ii)

Directrix at y=-7. So,

[tex]k-p=-7[/tex]                            ...(iii)

Adding (ii) and (iii), we get

[tex]2k=-11[/tex]

[tex]k=\dfrac{-11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]k=-5.5[/tex]

Putting [tex]k=-5.5[/tex] in (ii), we get

[tex]-5.5+p=-4[/tex]

[tex]p=-4+5.5[/tex]

[tex]p=1.5[/tex]

Putting [tex]h=6, k=-5.5,p=1.5[/tex] in (i), we get

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{4(1.5)}(x-6)^2+(-5.5)[/tex]

[tex]y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the parabola is [tex]y=\dfrac{1}{6}(x-6)^2-5.5[/tex].

Evan, James, and Burt are fishing in a lake that has 200 fish. They are going to be fishing for three hours. What is the probability that they each will catch 3 fish?

Answers

Answer:

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956

Step-by-step explanation:

The hyper geometric distribution is used to solve this as it has a population, a sample , number of successes  for both the population and sample.

Here

Population size= N =200

Sample size= n =9= (3*3)

Number of successes in population = k = 3 hours

Number of successes in sample = x= 3

Applying the hyper geometric distribution

P (x=3) = kCx *(N-k) C (n-x)/ N Cn

   = 3 C 3 * 197 C 6/ 200 C 9

    =0.000063956

The probability that they each will catch 3 fish is 0.000063956

Does anyone know how to solve these?

Answers

remember the slope= rise/run. so for the first graph, there are coordinates (0,5) and (2,3). so the rise = 3-5=-2 and the run=2-0=2 so the slope=-2/2=-1. and since the equation for a line is y=mx+ b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept, the answer is y=-x+5

then just do the same process with the other question to get y=(2/5)x-3

Answer:

1st graph: slope is -1 and equation is y=-x+5

2nd graph: slope is 2/5 and equation is y=2/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+b is slope-intercept form.

It's call that because this forn tells us the slope,m, and the y-intercept,b.

The first graph you have identified b as 5 since you said the y-intercept was (0,5).

Now we just find slope by finding rise/run.

(0,5) is marked and we see another point has been marked, I will start at (0,5) go down 2 and right 2. This means rise=-2 and run=2 which means the slope=-2/2 and that reduces to -1.

The equation for first graph is y=-1x+5 or y=-x+5.

So again you have no problem identifying the y-intercept which is b=-3.

Now just count the rise/run to the other point. Starting at y-intercept we have to go up 2 and right 5 to get to the other point so m=2/5.

What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y = 3x - 8 and passes
through the point (4,-5)?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=3x-17[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel equations always share a slope.

So since we know the slope and a point the equation needs to pass through we can plug in the values and replace -8 with [tex]b[/tex]

[tex]-5=3(4)+b[/tex]

simplify both sides

[tex]-5=12+b[/tex]

isolate the variable

[tex]-17=b[/tex]

plug [tex]b[/tex] back into the equation and you get

[tex]y=3x-17[/tex]

Answer:

y = 3 x + 11

 Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes.

The slope of the new line will have the same slope as the given line:

y = 3 x − 4

⇒ m = 3

One point on the line is given,  

( − 2  5 ) .

This is  ( x 1  y 1 )

The formula for slope is  

m = ( change in y values/ change in x-values ) =  y 2  −  y 1/ x 2 − x 1

If you have the slope and one point , substitute them into a formula which is based on the formula for slope given above.

y  −  y 1 =  m  ( x  −  x 1 )  

y  −  5  =  3 ( x  −  ( − 2 ) )

y  −  5  =  3 ( x + 2 )

Simplify to get the required equation of the line.

y  =  3 x  +  6  +  5

y  =  3 x  +  11
