Answer: m = -5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.

(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7

(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2

If we plug all the values in, we get:

m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))

m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel

m = (5)/(-8)

m = -5/8

dem82 [27]

Answer:

The probability is 0.0192 to four decimal places.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the probabilities that three events will occur at the same time.

Firstly, we identify the individual probabilities.

The probability of 6 showing In a throw of die is 1/6

The probability of a coin showing head in a flip of coin is 1/2

The probability of a face card being drawn in a deck of cards is 12/52( There are 12 face cards in a deck of cards)

Mathematically to get the probability of all these events happening, we simply multiply all together.

This will be ;

1/6 * 1/2 * 12/52 = 1/52 = 0.0192 ( to 4 decimal place)
