we have point (-6, - 1)
Now we will put these points in each equation,
y = 4x +23
put x = -6 and y = -1
-1 = 4 (-6) +23
-1 = -24 + 23
-1 = -1
LHS = RHS, so this equation has (-6 , -1) as solution.
y = 6x
put x = -6 and y = -1
-1 = 6 (-6)
-1 not= -36
LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,
y = 3x - 5
put x = -6 and y = -1
-1 = 3 (-6) - 5
-1 = -18 - 5
-1 not= -23
LHS is not equal RHS, so (-6 , -1) is not a solution for that equation,
y= 1/6 x
put x = -6 and y = -1
-1 = -6/6
-1 = -1
LHS = RHS, so (-6 , -1) is a solution for that equation,
Intuitively, one would think the ball would land in the green spot 2 out of the 38 times, since there are 38 slots and 2 are green.
The probability that it lands in a green section is 2/38. Multiplying this by the number of times the experiment is performed, we get (2/38)(38) = 2.
I've had a problem similar to this before. He should start out with 0 flowers. He would have 2 flowers at the first one, so he would put one on the first grave then have one for the second. When he gets to the second, he puts down one flower and the last flower on the 3rd grave.
