Answer:

The slope is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is (y1-y2)/(x1-x2)

or change in y / change in x.

First, you plug in your numbers. I will use (2, 7) as (x1, y1)

(1-7)/(5-2)

Next, simplify.

(-6)/(3)

-2

And that's your slope!

Answer:

$Probability = \frac{1}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent Boys with B and Girls with G

$P(B) = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(G) = \frac{1}{2}$

Required

Find the probability or having 1 boy 2 girls

Since the order is not important, the probability is calculated as follows;

$Probability = P(B) * P(G) * P(G)$

Substitute $\frac{1}{2}$ for P(B) and P(G)

$Probability = \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2} * \frac{1}{2}$

$Probability = \frac{1 * 1 * 1}{2 * 2 *2}$

$Probability = \frac{1}{8}$

Hence, the fractional probability is $\frac{1}{8}$
