Kwon Kim Ca is correct. Let me explain this step by step-

Basically a standard cube has 6 sides each labeled with the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and 6. You asked for the probability of rolling a number greater than 4 on a standard cube. 1,2,3, and 4 is less than 4 or equal to 4 so that wouldn't work. 5 and 6 are the only numbers that are greater so add up the total amount of numbers :1,2,3,4,5,6! 6 numbers!

so 6 would be the denominator and 2 would be the numerator because there are 2 numbers greater than 6.

All in all,

2/6 is the answer and simplified?: 1/3.

Hope this helps!

The possibility is 2/6 because there are 2 numbers that are greater than 4 which are 5,6.

$\text{The slope formula:}\ m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\\\text{We have:}\\(-9;\ 6)\to x_1=-9;\ y_1=6\\(-6;\ -9)\to x_2=-6;\ y_2=-9\\\\\text{substitute:}\\\\m=\dfrac{-9-6}{-6-(-9)}=\dfrac{-15}{-6+9}=\dfrac{-15}{3}=-5$
