Answer:

k = 77/10

Step-by-step explanation:

The jar consist of blue, red and green marbles . The probability of each of them can be described as follows.

probability of blue marbles = 2/7

probability of red marbles = 3/k

probability of green marbles = 5/2k

The sum of the individual probability is equals to 1. Therefore,

2/7 + 3/k + 5/2k = 1

collect like terms

(6 + 5)/2k = 1 - 2/7

11/2k =(7 - 2) /7

11/2k = 5/7

cross multiply

10k = 77

divide both sides by 10

k = 77/10

1. Define y-intercept of a line?
BartSMP [9]

1. The y-intercept of a line is on a graph where a line crosses through the y axis.

2. b is the y- intercept and m is the slope. For example something using y=mx+b could be written like y=3x+2 if the y-intercept is 2 and the slope is 3.

3. The slope is what describes the direction and steepness of a line on a graph. Rise and run mean that when you find a slope you must first find the rise over run. You must go from one dot on a graph to the next by first going up or down to where that you are on the same number on the y axis that the next point is, next go on the x axis and go left or right until you have reached the next point. For example if you went up 3 and over 2, the rise would be 3 and the run would be 2. The slope in that situation would be 3/2.

Hope this helps you.
