Answer:

the slope is -1/2 and the y-intercept is -4

Step-by-step explanation:

The original formula is y=mx+b. m is the slope of the graph and b is the y-intercept. You just plug in the numbers to the original formula to get the formula for the graph. The slope is always the number that is right next to the x, or the number which is multiplied by the x. The y-intercept is always the number that is not by x.

Given that there are 3 events as

rolling 3 dice, are the events A: sum divisible by 3 and B: sum divisible 5

The sample space will have

(1,1,1)...(6,6,6)

Sum will start with 3 and end with 18

Sum divisible by 3 are 3,6,9..18

Sum divisible by 5 are 5,10,....15

The common element is 15

Hence these two events are not mutually exclusive.

The area of a rectangular garden can be expressed as A = 2x^2 -x -6. The width of the garden is 2x+3. Find an expression for the

zalisa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² -x - 6 = 2x² - 4x + 3x - 3*2

= 2x*(x - 2) + 3*(x - 2)

= (x-2)(2x + 3)

A = 2x² -x - 6

A = (x - 2)(2x + 3)

length*width = (x - 2)(2x + 3)

length * (2x +3) = (x - 2)(2x + 3)

$length=\frac{(x-2)(2x+3)}{(2x+3)}$

length = x - 2
