Let's pose this question a different way: what are the chances that one out of all possible events is going to happen? What are the chances that, if I roll a die, I will roll a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or a 6? What is the probability, if I flip a coin, that the outcome will either be heads or tails? When we take every possible outcome and add their probabilities together, the sum of the probabilities will be 100%, or 1.
Example:
Coin Toss:
Prob of Heads (.5) plus Prob of Tails (.5) = 1
Dice roll:
1/6 (odds of rolling any given number) times 6 (number of possibilities) = 1
16.5 is what I got for x you add them up and equal them to 180 because its a straight line
Answer: y = 3x-8
------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
Explanation:
The slope is 3, so m = 3
The given point is (3,1) meaning x = 3 and y = 1. The x coordinate is always listed first in an ordered pair. The general format is (x,y)
We'll use m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1 to find the y intercept
y = mx+b
y = m*x+b
1 = 3*3+b ... plug in m = 3, x = 3 and y = 1
1 = 9+b
1-9 = 9+b-9 ... subtract 9 from both sides
-8 = b
b = -8
----------------
So we're given m = 3 as the slope and we just found that b = -8 is the y intercept
So y = mx+b updates to y = 3x-8. This is the final answer.
----------------
Side Notes:
* The slope of 3 means rise/run = 3/1 indicating each time we go up 3, we move to the right 1
* The y intercept -8 is the location on the vertical y axis numberline where the graph crosses. The point (0,-8) is on this line.
Answer:
The roster method is defined as a way to show the elements of a set by listing the elements inside of brackets. An example of the roster method is to write the set of numbers from 1 to 10 as {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10}. An example of the roster method is to write the seasons as {summer, fall, winter and spring}.Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
y = 2x
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Rise over Run. The rise(up/down) is 2 and the run(sideways) is 1. The slope is going up, not down so the 2 is positive. So, it is positive 2/1, which you can write as 2.
