Answer:

Jamal added 9 purple sox

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to increase the probability

Initially the probability is;

18/(6 + 18 + 12) = 18/36 = 1/2 or 0.5 or 50%

So now, the probability is 60% which is 60/100 or 0.6

If we added x socks, then we number of purple socks become (18 + x)

The total number of x will be (36 + x)

so the probability now will be;

18+x/36 + x = 0.6

18 + x = 0.6(x + 36)

18 + x = 0.6x + 21.6

x-0.6x = 21.6-18

0.4x = 3.6

x = 3.6/0.4

x = 9

Stella graphs the equation y=1/3x – 2
faltersainse [42]

we have

y=\frac{1}{3}x-2

<u>Statements</u>

<u>case A)</u> The graph is a straight line.

The statement is True

Because, this is a linear equation (see the attached figure)

<u>case B)</u> The line passes through the origin.

The statement is False

Because the point (0,0) is not a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

0=\frac{1}{3}*0-2

0=-2 ------> is not true

the point (0,0) is not a solution

therefore

The line does not pass through the origin

<u>case C)</u> The line passes through the point  (0,-2)

The statement is True

Because the point (0,-2) is a solution of the equation

Verify

Substitute the value of x and y in the equation

-2=\frac{1}{3}*0-2

-2=-2 ------> is true

the point (0,-2) is a solution

therefore

The line passes through the point (0,-2)

<u>case D) </u>The slope of the line is 3

The statement is False

Because, the slope of the line is m=\frac{1}{3}

<u>case E)</u> The y-intercept of the line is 2

The statement is False

we know that

The y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

so

For x=0

find the value of y

y=\frac{1}{3}*0-2=-2

the y-intercept is equal to -2

What is the slope of the line passing through the points (−3, −5) and (−1, −6)
inessss [21]

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m= (-6--5)/(-1--3)

m = (-6+5)/(-1+3)

m=-1/2
