slope = m

y intercept = b

equation: y = mx + b

Set the equation as such: 2y = -12x - 60

Isolate the y. Divide 2 from all terms

(2y)/2 = (-12x - 60)/2

y = -6x - 30

slope = -6

y-intercept = -30

hope this helps

Get into y=mx+b form
m=slope
b=y intercept
solve for y

12x+2y=-60
minus 12x both sides
2y=-12x-60
divide both sides by 2
y=-6x-30
slope is -6 and y intercept is -30

Is 4-6 the same as 4+(-6)? Explain your response.

Answer: Yes, 4-6 is the same as 4 + (-6).

Step-by-step explanation:

One reason why they are the same is because 4 - 6 equals -2 and 4 + (-6) also equals -2. You can turn 4 - 6 into 4 + (-6) by turning the subtraction sign to a plus sign and turn the positive 6 into a negative 6.

Two professors at a nearby university want to co-author a new textbook in either economics or statistics. They feel that if they

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

0.3 or 30%

Step-by-step explanation:

The professors will only seek a smaller publisher if they cannot place the statistics book with a major publisher. If the probability of getting a major publisher is 40% and the probability of getting a smaller publisher is 50%, then the probability that the statistics book would wind up being placed with a smaller publisher is given by:

$P=(1-P(major))*P(minor)\\P=(1-0.4)*0.5\\P=0.3$
