A coordinate plane with a line passing through points (1, 2) and (4, 4)
The slope of the graphed line is . Which formulas represent the line that is graphed? Check all that apply.
y – 1 = (x – 2)
y – 2 = (x – 1)
y – 4 = (x – 4)
f(x) = x +
f(x) = x +
A straight line is represented by a linear equation given below.
The points are given as (1, 2) and (4, 4).
Start by calculating the slope (m)
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
So, we have
[tex]m=\frac{4-2}{4-1} \\m=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
What is the slope-intercept form of the line?The equation in slope-intercept form is then calculated as:
[tex]y=m(x-x_1)+y_1[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}(x-1)+2\\ \\y=\frac{2}{3}(x-4)+4\\[/tex]
Expand
[tex]y=\frac{2}{3}(x-1)+2\\ y=\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{2}{3}+2[/tex]
Take LCM
[tex]y=2/3x+4/3[/tex]
Multiply through by 3
3y=2x+4
So, the possible equations are:
.[tex]3y=2x+4\\y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{4}{3} \\y=\frac{2}{3}(x-1)+2\\y=\frac{2}{3}(x-4)+{4}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{x + 3} + \frac4{x + 2} = 2[/tex][tex]5 + \frac{4(x + 3)}{x + 2} = 2(x + 3)[/tex][tex]5 + \frac{4x + 12}{x + 2} = 2x + 6[/tex][tex]5(x + 2) +4x + 12 = (2x + 6)(x + 2)[/tex][tex]5x + 10 + 4x + 12 = 2x^2 + 6x + 4x + 12[/tex][tex]9x + 22 = 2x^2 + 10x + 12[/tex]Let's make one side equal to 0.
[tex]0 = 2x^2 + x - 10[/tex]Solve by factoring, and then the zero product property.
[tex]0 = 2x^2 + x - 10\\[/tex]Multiply 2 and -10. You get -20. Think of two number that multiply to -20, and add to 1. If we think about the standard form of a quadratic, [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex], think two numbers that equal "ac" and add up to "b".
[tex]0 = 2x^2 - 4x + 5x - 10[/tex][tex]0 = 2x(x - 2) + 5(x - 2)[/tex][tex]0 = (2x + 5)(x - 2)[/tex]Using the zero product property, set each factor to 0 and solve for x.
2x + 5 = 0The two answers are x = -2.5, and x = 2.
Answer:
x = -5/2, 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{5}{x+3}+\dfrac{4}{x+2} = 2}[/tex]
With restriction that x-values cannot be -3 and -2 else it will turn the expression as in undefined.
First, multiply both sides by (x+3)(x+2) to get rid of the denominator.
[tex]\displaystyle \large{\dfrac{5}{x+3}\cdot (x+2)(x+3)+\dfrac{4}{x+2} \cdot (x+2)(x+3) = 2 \cdot (x+2)(x+3)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{5(x+2)+4(x+3) = 2(x+2)(x+3)}[/tex]
Simplify/Expand in:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{5x+10+4x+12 = 2(x^2+5x+6)}\\\\\displaystyle \large{9x+22=2x^2+10x+12}[/tex]
Arrange the terms or expression in quadratic equation:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{0=2x^2+10x+12-9x-22}\\\\\displaystyle \large{2x^2+x-10=0}[/tex]
Factor the expression:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{(2x+5)(x-2)=0}[/tex]
Solve like linear equation as we get:
[tex]\displaystyle \large{x=-\dfrac{5}{2}, 2}[/tex]
Since both x-values are not exact -2 or -3 - therefore, these values are valid. Hence, x = -5/2, 2

3x² - 12x +9=0 using quadratic formula
Answer:
The quadratic equation 3x² - 12x + 9 = 0 has two real roots when solved:
x₁ = 1 and x₂ = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
✍ An equation of type ax² + bx + c = 0, can be solved, for example, using the quadratic formula:
[tex]\boldsymbol{x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a} }[/tex]
either
[tex]\boldsymbol{x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta} }{2a} }[/tex]
where
[tex]\bf{\Delta=b^{2}-4ac }[/tex]
Identify the coefficients
a = 3, b = -12 and c = 9
Calculate the discriminant value
Δ = b² - 4ac
Δ = (-12)² - 4.3.9 = 144 - 12.9
Δ = 144 - 108 = 36
Enter the values of a, b and the discriminant value in the quadratic formula
[tex]\boldsymbol{x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{\Delta } }{2a} }[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{x=\dfrac{-(-12\pm\sqrt{36} }{2\cdot3 } }[/tex]
[tex]\boldsymbol{x=\dfrac{(12\pm\sqrt{36} }{6 } \ ==== > \ (Solution \ general) }[/tex]
As we can see above, the discriminant (Δ) of this equation is positive (Δ> 0) which means that there are two real roots (two solutions), x₁ and x₂.
[tex]\boldsymbol{x_{1}=\dfrac{-12-\sqrt{36} }{6}=\dfrac{12-6}{6}=\dfrac{6}{6}=1 \ === > (First \ solution) }[/tex]
To find x₁, just choose the positive sign before the square root. Later,
[tex]\boldsymbol{x_{1}=\dfrac{12+\sqrt{36} }{6}=\dfrac{12+6}{6}=\dfrac{18}{6}=3 \ === > (Second \ solution) }[/tex]
What is the probability that you would land on a R and then a P?
Answer:
multiply the probability of the first event by the second.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the specific multiplication rule formula. Just multiply the probability of the first event by the second. For example, if the probability of event A is 2/9 and the probability of event B is 3/9 then the probability of both events happening at the same time is (2/9)*(3/9) = 6/81 = 2/27.
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{26} * \frac{1}{26} = \frac{1}{676} = .00148.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply the probability of P by the probability of Q.
In which the probability of P is equal to [tex]\frac{R}{Total NumberOf LettersInAlphabet} = \frac{1}{26}[/tex]
In which the probability of Q is equal to [tex]\frac{P}{Total NumberOf LettersInAlphabet} = \frac{1}{26}[/tex]
There's a 1 in 676 chance that you'd randomly pick R, put the tile back in, and then pick P in a sack of 26 letters of the latin alphabet.

The first sentence of the problem (alexandra) can be written as:
[tex]2x + 3y = 3.30[/tex]
The second sentence of the equation (briana) can be written as:
[tex]5x + 2y = 4.95[/tex]
We must now solve for either [tex]x[/tex] or [tex]y[/tex] in this system of equations.
I will solve for [tex]x[/tex] in this example.
First we need to multiply the first equation by [tex]2[/tex] and the second equation by [tex]3[/tex]. This is so both equations have [tex]6y[/tex] as a term.
Equation 1:
[tex]2(2x + 3y) = (3.30)2\\4x + 6y = 6.60[/tex]
Equation 2:
[tex]3(5x + 2y) = (4.95)3\\15x+6y=14.85[/tex]
Now that both equations have [tex]6y[/tex] as a term, we can subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2. This will remove y from the equation and allow us to solve for x.
[tex](15x+6y) - (4x+6y) = (14.85) - (6.60)\\11x = 8.25\\\boxed{x = 0.75}[/tex]
We now know the cost of a doughnut is $0.75. Now we can solve for the cost of a cookie through substitution.
[tex]2x + 3y = 3.30\\2(0.75) + 3y = 3.30\\1.50 + 3y = 3.30\\3y = 1.80\\\boxed{y = 0.6}[/tex]
Now we know the cost of a cookie is $0.60.

A man claims to have extrasensory perception (ESP). As a test, a fair coin is flipped 23 times, and the man is asked to predict the outcome in advance. He gets 20 out of 23 correct. What is the probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP
The probability that he would have done at least this well if he had no ESP is 0.99979
What is the probability of determining that he would have done well with no ESP?To determine the probability, we need to first find the probability of doing well with ESP.
The probability of having 20 correct answers out of 23 coin flips is:
[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}}[/tex]
Since we have 20 correct answers, we also need to find the probability of getting 3 answers wrong, which is:
[tex]\mathbf{=(\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]
There are [tex](^{23}_{20})[/tex] = 1771 ways to get 20 correct answers out of 23.
Therefore, the probability of doing well with ESP is:
[tex]\mathbf{= 1771 \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{20}} \times (\dfrac{1}{2})^{3}}[/tex]
= 0.00021
The probability that he would have at least done well if he had no ESP is:
= 1 - 0.00021
= 0.99979
