Marbles in a bag: 3 green, 4 yellow, 5 blue, 8 pink.

Event A - get a green or yellow marble
Event B - get a pink marble

Events A and B are independent because we draw a marble from a bag with 20 marbles in both cases.
$P(A)= \frac{3+4}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{7}{20} 
\\P(B)= \frac{8}{3+4+5+8}= \frac{8}{20} = \frac{2}{5}$

Probability of combined events is
$P(A) \times P(B)=\frac{7}{20} \times \frac{2}{5} =\frac{7}{50}$

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of -2/3 and passes through point (-3, -1)? y=-2/3x+1.

Answer:

y = -2/3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write the equation using the slope. It should look like this: y = -2/3x + b. Next, find the y intercept by plugging in the point. This is what it looks like: -1 = -2/3(-3) + b. Multiply -2/3 by -3 to get 2. This is what it should look like now: -1 = 2 + b. Subtract 3 from both sides to get -3 = b. Go back to your original equation and plug in -3 for b. This is your final equation:

y = -2/3x - 3

Hope this helped! :)
