***NOTE: Please check that you wrote the numbers in the question/answer choices correctly. The answer to this problem doesn't match the answer choice. Thank you!

Remember that the slope intercept formula is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope

b is the y-intercept

First let's find the slope (m)

The formula to find slope using two points is

\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

In this case...

y_{2} =-2\\y_{1} =4\\x_{2} =3\\x_{1} =0

^^^Plug these numbers into the formula for slope...

\frac{-2-4}{3 - (0)}

\frac{-6}{3}

-2

^^^This is your slope

Here is what we have so far for the slope intercept formula:

y = -2x + b

Now we must find b

To do that you must plug in a point the line goes through in the x and y of the equation, then solve for b

For this explanation we will use the point (0,4) although you could also do it with point (3, -2) and you should get the same answer  

4 = -2(0) + b

4 = 0 + b

4 = b

NOTE: For this particular problem you wouldn't technically need to go through the steps above to find b. In this case one of the points given, (0, 4) is already the y-intercept of the line (b)

y = -2x + 4

Hope this helped!

FIND THE INDICATED PROBABILITY FOR THE FOLLOWING:
luda_lava [24]

The value of the probability P(A) is 0.40

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters about the probability are

P(A or B) = 0.6

P(B) = 0.3

P(A and B) = 0.1

To calculate the probability P(A), we use the following formula

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

Substitute the known values in the above equation

0.1 = 0.3 + P(A) - 0.6

Collect the like terms

P(A)= 0.1 - 0.3 + 0.6

Evaluate the expression

P(A)= 0.4

Hence, the value of the probability P(A) is 0.40

I need help with an algebra assignment right away!
Georgia [21]

So remember that slope-intercept form is y = mx+b (m = slope, b = y-intercept) and standard form is ax+by = c. (a and b are coefficients and c is the constant)

Starting with the first question: 9x + 2y = 6

Firstly, subtract 9x on both sides: 2y = -9x + 6

Next, divide both sides by 2, and your equation will be y = -4.5x + 3

Now with the next equation: y - 3 = 4(x + 1)

Firstly, foil 4(x + 1): y - 3 = 4x + 4

Next, subtract y on both sides: -3 = 4x - y + 4

Next, subtract 4 on both sides, and your answer will be: -7 = 4x - y

Next equation: y + 7 = -2(x - 3)

Firstly, foil -2(x - 3): y + 7 = -2x + 6

Next, subtract 7 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: y = -2x - 1

Next: y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part a)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, add 5 on both sides, and your equation is: y = 3x - 1

Next, y - 5 = 3(x - 2) (part b)

Firstly, foil 3(x - 2): y - 5 = 3x - 6

Next, subtract y on both sides of the equations: -5 = 3x - y - 6

Next, add 6 on both sides of the equation, and your answer will be: 1 = 3x - y
