Hi there!

The general equation of a slope-intercept line is :

y = mx + b

Where "m" is the slope and "b" is the y-intercept.

Since your equation is already in the right form, you can easily see that your "m" is equal to -4, which is the slope of the line.

Your answer is: The slope of the line is -4.

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

Well a difference is the difference between them. difference means subtraction. So so a difference can be written as:
40.67 - (-41.29)

If you subtract a negative number you really add it. to make sense of this you could say 40.67 is 40.67 units away from zero in the positive direction. whereas -41.29 is 41.29 units away in the negative direction. since they go in opposite directions away from zero that means that thw length between them is extended and must then be added together. So
40.67 + 41.29 = 81.96

Answer:

5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of players = 3

number of times game is repeated = 4

P( any person wins a game ) = 1/3

P ( any person does not win a game ) = 1 - 1/3 = 2/3

P ( any person wins no game in 4 attempts ) = ( 2/3 )^4 = 16/81

Note : each player has equal chance of winning

Find the probability that there is at least one person who wins no games

lets represent the probability of each player not wining a game with alphabet A

A1 = player 1 wins no game

A2 = player 2 wins no game

A3 = players 3 wins no game

Applying the inclusion-exclusion formula

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = P(A1 ) + P(A2) + P(A3) - P( A1 ∩ A2 ) - P( A2 ∩ A3 ) - P( A1 ∩ A3 ) + P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 )

where

P( A1 ∩ A2 ) = P( A1 wins all games )

P ( A1 wins all games in 4 attempts ) = ( 1/3 )^4 = 1/81

P( A1 ∩ A2 ∩ A3 ) = P ( no players wins any game in 4 attempts ) = 0

Hence

P( A1 ∪ A2 U A3 ) = 16/81 + 16/81 + 16/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 1/81 - 0 = 5/9

Using a minimum of two sentences, describe how to write the function, f(x) = (x + 2)^2 - 3, in standard form.

Lostsunrise [7]

First, simplify the (x+2)(x+2) with FOIL:
f(x)=( $x^{2} +2x+2x+4$ )-3
Combine like terms
f(x)= $x^{2} +4x+1$
Then you have standard form.

Hope that helps.
