Answer:

5/11

Step-by-step explanation:

probability = # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

favorable outcome = selecting a pair of formal shoes.

There are 5 pairs of formal shoes so # of favorable outcomes = 5

The total number of outcomes = sum of different pairs of shoes. There are  5 pairs of formal shoes, 2 pairs of traditional shoes, and 4 pairs of casual shoes, so total there are 5 + 2 + 4 = 11 pairs of shoes

so we have probability =  # of favorable outcomes / # of total outcomes

and # of favorable outcomes = 5 and total # of outcomes = 11 so probability of selecting a pair of formal shoes is 5/11

y= mx+b

(16, -7) = (x,y)

2(16) - 3y = 12

32 - 3y = 12

32 - 12 = 3y

20/3 = y

6.6 = y

2x-3(-7) = 12

2x+21 = 12

2x = 12 - 21

x = -9/2

Insert the values into y = mx + b

solve for m and then solve for b
