Answer:
-7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term
-2 - 5 = -7
Check by subtracting the second term from the third term
-9 - (-2) = -9+2 = -7
The common difference is -7
Using it's concept, it is found that the probability of a person being over 20 years old and preferring strawberry ice cream is of 12%.
<h3>What is a probability?</h3>
A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.</u>
In this problem, there are 8 + 10 + 6 + 8 + 6 + 12 = 50 people, and of those, 6 are over 20 years old and prefer strawberry ice cream, hence the probability is given by:
p = 6/50 = 0.12 = 12%.

I did the problem myself and my teacher always said thatif you don't get the exact answer then round to the closest one. The answer that i got was 31,808.6, the closest one to that would be letter C.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line with slope m and y-intercept b is y = m x + b.
This line goes through the point ( 0 ,0 ), so the y-intercept is zero.
We are given the slope as − 2 / 3.
The equation of the line is y= – 2 / 3 x + 0 = – 2 / 3 x
y = – 2 / 3 x

Answer: A) intersecting</h3>
-----------------------------------------------
Work Shown:
Solve the first equation for y
x+y = ab
y = -x+ab
y = -1x + ab
slope = -1, y intercept = ab
-----------
Solve for y in the second equation
bx - y = a
bx - y - a = 0
bx-a = y
y = bx - a
Slope = b, y intercept = -a
-----------
The first equation has a slope of -1. The second equation has a slope of b.
Since b cannot equal -1, this means the two equations have different slopes. It is impossible for these two lines to be parallel, because parallel lines have equal slopes. The different slope values tell us the lines cross at exactly one point.
