To find the equation of a line using two coordinate points, use the slope intercept formula, (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). Using this formula, plug in your values from the two coordinates (-5, -5) and (1, -3). This would look like this:
(-3-(-5))/(1-(-5))
When simplified, you should get 2/6 or 1/3 as your slope or m value. Now that you have your slope, now use your slope intercept equation y=mx+b and plug in your known values. Since you know the m value is 1/3 and you can use one of your set of points to plug into the x and y values, you can plug in these values and solve for b (the coordinate you use doesn't matter but I'm just using the (1,-3)). This would look like this:
-3=1/3(1)+b

When you simplify, you should get -3=1/3+b and when you subtract both sides by 1/3, you should get b=-10/3.

Now that you have your m and b values, you can conclude that your equation for the line would be y=1/3x-10/3

What is the probability that a coin will be flipped 4 times and the result will be HTHT?
zepelin [54]
I think the answer is 1/16 because there is only one way that HTHT can fall out of 16 possible outcomes. That's what I think. Hope this helps!

balu736 [363]

Answer:

The answer is 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use each option to calculate the problem, we get:

125(0.88)^1 = 110

125(0.88)^2 = 96.8

125(0.88)^3 = 85.2

125(0.88)^4 = 74.96

We can see that 74.96 is approximately 75, therefore 4 years is the answer.

40% of<br> a number is 8 more than the<br> number<br> Which is the number
salantis [7]
Do you mean 8 more smaller if so the answer to your question is
X+y=40
Y=8 + x
Substituting the second equation into the first:
X+(8+x)=40
2x+8=40
2x=32
Smaller number: x=16
Y=8+(16)
Large number: y=24
