4 out of 24 reduced to 1 out of 6 since there are 24 total buttons and 4 are blue. About 16.67%

To find a probability of an event occurring, we need to find how many outcomes are successful. Then divide that number over the total number of outcomes.

In this case, we have the cat knocking 1 button onto floor. We want that button to be blue. Because we have 4 blue buttons, we have 4 different scenarios/outcomes that are successful.

Total number of outcomes is the cat knocking any button onto the floor. Which is [/tex] 4+5+7+8=24[/tex].

When we divide the two: \frac{4}{24} = \frac{1}{6} = 0.17 is the probability of cat knocking a blue button onto the floor.

Suppose y varies directly with x, and y = -4 when x = 25. What is x when y = 10? SHOW ALL YOUR WORK HERE OR YOU WON'T GET CREDIT
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

x = -62.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

-4 = k(25)

k = -4/25

y = (-4/25)x

10 = (-4/25)x

x = 10 × 25/-4

x = -62.5

Write the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that has a slope of -2 and y-intercept of 2.
bixtya [17]

Answer:

y= -2x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Slope-intercept form:</u>

y= mx +c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Given that the slope is -2, m= -2.

Substitute m= -2 into the equation:

y= -2x +c

Given that the y-intercept is 2, c= 2.

Substitute c=2 into the equation:

y= -2x +2
