What is the slope-intercept form equation of the line that passes through (1, 3) and (3, 7)? (1 point) y = −2x + 1 y = −2x − 1 y

Stolb23 [73]

Answer: y=2x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is $\frac{7-3}{3-1}=\frac{4}{2}=2$

Using the point (1,3) to substitute into point-slope form,

$y-3=2(x-1)\\\\y-3=2x-2\\\\\boxed{y-2x+1}$

If a coin has been altered so that the probability of heads coming up is 3/10, then the probability of tails coming up is also 3

soldier1979 [14.2K]

False. In a coin, there are 2 possible out comes i.e. a head and a tail. if p is the probability of one side coming up, then the probability of the other side comin up will be q = 1 - p.

Therefore, if the probability of head coming up is 3/10, the probability of tail coming up will be 1 - 3/10 = 7/10.

Answer:

y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that y varies inversely with x then the equation relating them is

y = $\frac{k}{x}$ ← k is the constant of variation
