<h3>Answer: Graph a straight line through (0,-4) and (1,-8)</h3><h3>See diagram below</h3>

============================================================

Explanation:

Pick any number you want for x. I find x = 0 to be easiest. Plug this into the equation to get...

y = -4x-4

y = -4(0) - 4

y = 0-4

y = -4

This is the y intercept. The graph crosses the y axis at -4. So one point on this line is (0,-4) since x = 0 and y = -4 pair up together

---------------

Repeat for another x value, say x = 1

y = -4x-4

y = -4(1)-4

y = -4-4

y = -8

We have x = 1 and y = -8 pair up now. Therefore another point on this line is (1,-8)

We could repeat for other x values, but we have enough info to graph this straight line. We only need two points minimum to graph a straight line.

So from here all you need to do is plot (0,-4) and (1,-8). Then draw a straight line through the two points. The line extends infinitely out in both directions.

You could use any other two points you wanted. For me I just find it easiest to work with 0 and anything close to it.

-------

Note how starting at (0,-4) we have moved 4 units down and 1 unit to the right to arrive at (1,-8). The "4 units down, 1 unit to the right" comes exactly from the slope of -4 = -4/1

slope = rise/run = -4/1

rise = -4 means we move down 4

run = 1 means we move 1 to the right

What is the probability of tossing a penny and landing on heads 3 times in a row
Rasek [7]

Answer:

Suppose you have a fair coin: this means it has a 50% chance of landing heads up and a 50% chance of landing tails up. Suppose you flip it three times and these flips are independent. What is the probability that it lands heads up, then tails up, then heads up? So the answer is 1/8, or 12.5%.

Find 2 numbers a and b such that (a-b)^2 &lt; (a+b)(a-b)&lt; (a+b)^2 Find two numbes a and b such that this is not true
Svet_ta [14]

Suppose for the moment that the inequality holds for all a,b:

(a-b)^2

Expanding everything gives

a^2-2ab+b^2

\implies-ab

In particular, the inequality says that -ab for any choice of a,b. But if a and b>0, then -ab>0 while ab.

So one possible choice of a,b could be a=-1 and b=1. Then we get

(-1-1)^2=4

(-1+1)(-1-1)=2

(-1+1)^2=0

but clearly it's not true that 4.
