Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the recessive gene is carried in the x chromosome and a father can only pass it to a daughter, the father doesn't have the disease nor carries it.

The mother carries the recessive gene because her father passed her his conditioned gene (only having one x chromosome), while her mother gave her a normal one so she can have normal vision.  

The chance of having a boy or a girl is 1/2 and the chance of this baby of having both recessive gene is null because in order to have a girl that is color blind both her x chromosomes must have the recessive gene, but the father can't pass it since he doesn't carries it. Therefore the combined probability is 1/2*(1-0) = 1/2.

Slope Intercept Form: y=3x+10

y: 10

Step-by-step explanation:

y-3x=10    Add 3x to both sides. The y has to be isolated.

So it is y=10+3x     So we have to reorder it so y=3x+10
