Hi there!
To start, we can use the two points to find the slope using the formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Just sub in the points and solve!
-0.5-0.5/3-(-3)
-1/6
Sub that into the formula y-mx+b for m, and use one of the points for x and y - solve for b and you get your equation.
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
0.5=-1/6*-3+b
0.5=-0.5+b
0.5+0.5=b
b=1
Therefore your equation is y=-1/6x+1
Hope this helps!
Answer:
8% or 0.08
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability of missing the first pass = 40% = 0.40
Probability of missing the second pass = 20% = 0.20
We have to find the probability that he misses both the passes. Since the two passes are independent of each other, the probability that he misses two passes will be:
Probability of missing 1st pass x Probability of missing 2nd pass
i.e.
Probability of missing two passes in a row = 0.40 x 0.20 = 0.08 = 8%
Thus, there is 8% probability that he misses two passes in a row.
keeping in mind that perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes, hmmm what's the slope of the equation above anyway?

so we're really looking for the equation of a line whose slope is -3/2 and runs through (0,0).
The first step would be to add 7 to both sides.
3n-7=30
add 7
3n=37
divide by 3
n=12.33
Answer: (D) 9
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
This is an isosceles triangle. Since the legs are congruent, then the base angles are congruent.
9x + 3 = 84
<u> - 3 </u> <u> -3 </u>
9x = 81
<u>÷9 </u> <u>÷9 </u>
x = 9
