<h2>Addition</h2><h3>Concept</h3>

Add units together in order to reach a sum.

<h3>Utilization</h3>

In this problem, you are told to find the probability (or %) that someone owns either a dog, OR a cat. If they own both - then they do in fact own a dog or cat. So the formula is:

dog owners % + cat owners % + both owners %

Aka,

23 + 18 + 5 = 46

<h3>Answer</h3>

The answer is 46% of people own either a cat or a dog, because 23% + 18% + 5% is 46%.

Is point (2,1) on the the line represented by the equation x+2y=5
Sphinxa [80]
To check if this point lies on the line, plug in a 2 for x and a y for 1 and solve

x+2y=5
2+2(1)=5
4=5

Since this statement isn't true, then the point doesn't lie on the line

Hope this helps

Work out the equation of the line which has a gradient of -2 and passes through the point (1,7)
Ilya [14]

point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-7 = -2 (x-1)

if you want it in slope intercept form

y-7 = -2x +2

add 7 to each side

y = -2x +9
