(2,8) and (-2,10)
<u>y₂</u><u> </u><u>- y₁</u> used to find the slope<u>
</u>x₂ - x₁
<u>
</u>plug in the coordinates
<u>10-8</u> = <u>2</u> all equals -1/2
-2-2 = -4 m=-1/2
<u>
</u>plug one of the coordinates and the slope into y=mx+b, and solve
<u />8=-1/2(2)+b
8=-1+b
9=b
Final Answer: y = -1/2x + 9
11,339,800 is 11,340,000 rounded to the nearest whole number
<h3>
Answer: Independent</h3>
For two events A and B, if the occurrence of either event in no way affects the probability of the occurrence of the other event, then the two events are considered to be <u> independent </u> events.
=========================================================
Explanation:
Consider the idea of flipping a coin and rolling a dice. If these actions are separate (i.e. they don't bump into each other), then one object won't affect the other. Hence, one probability won't change the other. We consider these events to be independent.
In contrast, let's say we're pulling out cards from a deck. If we don't put the first card back, then the future probabilities of other cards will change. This is considered dependent.
