Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello : let  A(2,1)    B(5,-8)

the slope is :   (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)

(-8-1)/(5-2)  = -9/3=-3

an equation is : y=ax+b     a is a slope

y = -3x +b

 

the line through point  (2,1) :  1= -(3)(2)+b    

b = 7

the equation is : y =-3x+7

Answer:

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from the point (2, 1) to the point (5, -8), x (the run) increases by 3 and y (the rise) decreases by 9.  Thus, the slope of this line is

m = rise / run = -9/3, or m = -3.

Then the equation of the line (in point-slope form) is

y - 1 = -3(x - 2)

Alejandro surveyed his classmates to determine who has ever gone surfing and who has ever gone snowboarding. Let A be the event
victus00 [196]

Answer:

{A and B are independent events}, P(A|B)=P(A)=0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we need to know when does two events become independent:

For the two events to be independent,  P(A|B)=P(A) that is if condition on one does not effect the probability of other event.

Here, in our case the only option that satisfies the condition for the events to be independent is  P(A|B)=P(A)=0.16.. Rest are not in accordance with the definition of independent events.
