On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 4, negative 1) and (0, 1). Square a is around (negative 5, negative 2), squ
are b is around (negative 1, 1), square c is around (1, 2), and square d is around (4, 4). The linear equation y = one-half x + 1 is represented by the graphed line. A second linear equation is represented by the data in the table. A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled x with entries negative 2, 0, 2, 4. Column 2 is labeled y with entries 7, 6, 5, 4. In which square is the solution located?
The coordinate plane was developed centuries ago and refined by the French mathematician Rene Descartes. In his honor, the system is sometimes called the Cartesian coordinate system. The coordinate plane can be used to plot points and graph lines. This system allows us to describe algebraic relationships in a visual sense, and also helps us create and interpret algebraic concepts.
Theoretically the chance of flipping a coin is still 50%. However, the likelihood based on a data set such as this is 49.18%. You can get this by adding the numbers together and dividing by the total number of times flipped.
