Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the process of elimination, we can immediately eliminate b) (y = 2x - 3).

Why? It has a slope of 2, and our answer wants a line with a slope of -1.

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept.

To find the line that goes through (2, -3), we substitute our 3 answer choices (A, C, and D) with 2 (for x-values) and -3 (for y-values).

(2, -3)

y = -x - 1

-3 = -2 - 1

-3 = -3

This statement is true

(2, -3)

y = -x - 3

-3 = -2 - 3

-3 = -5

This statement is false

(2, -3)

y = -x + 2

-3 = -2 + 2

-3 = 0

This statement is false

Therefore, the correct answer is a) y = -x - 1

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

soo since we already know the slope we can subsitute it to the slope form equation

y = mx + b

y = -x + b

now to find the y intercept we have to subsitute the given point

-3 = -(2) + b

-3 = -2 + b

b = -1

Convert Y = -7/2x-11 to Standard Form

monitta

Answer:

7x + 2y = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form looks like Ax + By = C.

Start with Y = -7/2x-11. Better to write that as Y = (-7/2)x - 11 to emphasize that the coefficient of x is the fraction -7/2.

Move the (-7/2)x term to the left:

(7/2)x + y = -11

Multiply all terms by 2 to eliminate the fractions:

7x + 2y = -22 (answer)

You roll a six-sided die. Find the probability of each of the following scenarios

romanna [79]

Answer:

a) $1/2$

b) $5/6$

c) $2/3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Rolling a number greater than 3 means you can roll a 4, 5, or 6, which contains rolling a 6. So, the probability is $(1+1+1)/6=3/6=\boxed{1/2}$

Rolling a number less than 5 means you can roll a 1, 2, 3, or 4, but because you could also roll an even number, so you could also roll a 6.

So, the probability is $(1+1+1+1+1)/6=\boxed{5/6}$

Rolling a 4 or an odd number means you can roll a 1, 3, 5, or 4. So, the probability is $(1+1+1+1)/6=4/6=\boxed{2/3}$
