The probability of choosing a plain pencil from the first box is 5/8. The probability of choosing a color pencil from the second box is 3/12 which simplifies to 1/4. The probability of picking a plain pencil from the first box and picking a color pencil from the second box is 5/32 because 5/8 * 1/4 is 5/32

Final answer is 5/32 :)

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

(X1, Y1) = (-3,-2)

(X2,Y2)=(4,8)

SLOPE= (Y2-Y1) / (X2-X1)

= (8-(-2)) / (4-(-3))

=(8+2) / (4+3)

= 10/7
