Answer with step by step explanation

To find the equation of the line from the given equation, you have to make y as the subject in the equation.

Let us find now.

x + 3y = -4

3y = -4 - x

3y = -x - 4

Divide the whole equation by 3.

y = -x/3 - 4/3

Therefore, the equation of the line is:

y = -x/3 - 4/3

And now we have to find the slope and the y - intercept of the line.

That is, we have to find the m & c of y = m x + c.

Here,

m ⇒ slope

c ⇒ y - intercept

So, to find it we have to find the values which were replaced with m & c.

Let us find now.

y = m x + c

y = -x/3 - 4/3

Now it is clear that, -1/3 & -4/3 are replaced with m & c respectively.

Therefore,

slope ⇒ -1/3

y - intercept ⇒ -4/3

The expected value of the hourly wage is the sum of the probabilities (percentage of time spent on each job) multiplied by the payoff (money earned) from each possible occurrence (job):

(0.6 × 11) + (0.25 × 19) + (0.15 × 16) = $13.75.
