Answer:

3y + 5x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1) = (5-0)/(-6-(-3))

= 5 / -3 = -5/3

Using the point-slope form , the line that passes through the origin and parallel to this line is

y - 0 = -5/3(x - 0)

y = -5/3 x

Multiply through by 3:-

3y = -5x

5x + 3y = 0

Answer:

One approach to this problem is to obtain the graph for the given equation.

We need to find every intersection those functions have with the axis 'x' and 'y'

starting with g(x)

g(x=0)=0-3, first point (0,-3) it iis the crossing point with 'x' axis

g(x)=0=x-3, second point (3,0) it iis the crossing point with 'y' axis

Lets do the same for f(x)

g(x=0)=0, this leads to the first point (0,0) it iis the crossing point with 'x' axis and also, with the 'y' axis

We dont need to find any other, since always y=x

By plotting we have the attached picture

Now you can see that g(x) differs from its parent function in that is shifted 3 units to the right, and also 3 units down.

Complete Question

In a genetic experiment on peas, one sample of offspring contained 436 green peas and 171 yellow peas. Based on those results, estimate the probability of getting an offspring pea that is green. Is the result reasonably close to the value of 3/4 that was expected? The probability of getting a green pea is approximately: Is the probability reasonably close to 3/4?

Answer:

The probability is $P(g) =0.72$
