Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First you use to the formula m=y2-y1/x2-x1 and then you get -5/10 or -1/2. (m= slope)

Answer:

y = 6x

Explanation:

This question is asking you to write a linear equation in slope-intercept form, <u>y = mx + b,</u> where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The y-intercept (where the line crosses the y-axis) is visibly 0. As for the slope, you can take two points, I'll use (0,0) and (0.1,0.6) to calculate it.

Slope = y - y/x- x

Slope = (0.6 - 0)/(0.1 - 0) = 0.6/0.1 = 6

Plug in 0 for b and 6 for m and you have an equation.

y = 6x + 0

y = 6x

Numbered disks are placed in a box and one disk is selected at random. If there are 6 red disks numbered 1 through 6, and 2 yell

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of red disk=6

Total number of yellow disk=2

Total disk=6+2=8

Odd number=1,3,5,7=4

Odd number on red disk=1,3,5=3

Probability, $P(E)=\frac{favorable\;cases}{total\;number\;of\;cases}$

Using the formula

The probability of getting odd number disk= $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

The probability of getting odd numbered red disk= $\frac{3}{8}$

The probability of selecting a red disk,given that an odd numbered disk is selected= $\frac{\frac{3}{8}}{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{3}{8}\times 2=\frac{3}{4}$
