Find the y-intercept (which is b) ; Perpendicular to y = 3x - 1 (which has the negative reciprocal of the slope) ; passes through (6, -16) which will help us find b :)

Our first step is to locate the slope, which is "m" in slope intercept form.

As you can see, we are given an equation that is already in slope intercept form, so simply locate "m"

y = 3x - 1 

Slope 1 = 3 (as it is in the "m" spot)
Slope 2 = -1/3 (as it is the negative reciprocal)

Now that we have our slope, plug in the slope (-1/3) and (6, -16) into our new slope intercept equation so that we can find the value of "b" which is our y-intercept.

y = mx + b

(-16) = -1/3(6) + b

Simplify.

-16 = -2 + b

Add 2 to both sides.

-16 + 2 = b

Simplify.

-14 = b → Therefore, our y-intercept is -14 → THAT IS OUR FINAL ANSWER - however, if you'd like to know the final equation including the y-intercept, here it is :)

Now that we have all of the needed information, simply plug everything in! :)

**Remember : m = -1/3 ; b = -14

y = mx + b

y = -1/3x - 14

Two dice are tossed together. What is the probability of getting an odd number on the second die and a total of five?
wolverine [178]

Probability = (number of ways to succeed) / (total possible outcomes) .

The total possible results of rolling two dice is

   (6 on the first cube) x (6 on the second one) = 36 possibilities.

How many are successful ?  I need you to clarify something first.
You said that the 'second die' shows an odd number.  When a pair
of dice is rolled, the problem usually doesn't distinguish between them. 
And in fact, you said that they're "tossed together" (like a spinach and
arugula salad ?) so I would understand that they would lose their identity
unless they were, say, painted different colors, and we wouldn't know
which one is the second one.

Oh well, I'll just work it both ways:

First way: 
Two identical dice are tossed.
The total is 5 and ONE cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen ?

1 ... 4
4 ... 1
3 ... 2
2 ... 3         

Four possibilities.  Probability = 4/36 = 1/9 = 11.1% .

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

Second way:
 
A black and a white cube are tossed together.
The total is 5 and the white cube shows an odd number.

How can that happen:

B ... W
4 .... 1
2 .... 3

Only two possibilities.  Probability = 2/36 = 1/18 = 5.6% .
