Answer probability of one girl is 1 in 2 or 1/2 so multiply probability 5 times.

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/32

Answer:

$\huge{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{y = - 2x + 6}}}}$

☥ $\tt{Question} :$

Write the equation of a line in slope - intercept form that has a slope of -2 and passes through the point ( - 1 , 8 ).

☥ $\tt{Step - \: by \: - \: step \: explanation}$

☪ $\underline{ \underline{ \text{Given : }}}$

Slope ( m ) = -2
Given point = ( - 1 , 8 )

☪ $\underline {\underline{ \text{To \: find}}} :$

Equation of a line in slope - intercept form ( i.e y = mx + c )

Let the point ( -1 , 8 ) be ( x₁ , y₁ )

☪ $\underline{ \underline{ \text{Solution}}} :$

$\underline{ \sf{y - y1 = m(x - x1)}}$

plug the known values :

↦ $\text{y - 8 = - 2 \{ x - ( - 1) \} }$

↦ $\text{y - 8 = - 2(x + 1)}$

Distribute -2 through the parentheses :

↦ $\text{y - 8 = - 2x - 2}$

Transpose 8 to right hand side and change it's sign

↦ $\text{y = - 2x - 2 + 8}$

↦ $\boxed{ \text{y = - 2x + 6}}$

And we're done !

Hope I helped!

If this helps: 10 x .5 would be the same as 50% of 10. Also: 40 x .12 would be the same as 12% of 40.

Solve. 3/9A = 81 a = 9 a=81 3/9 a = 27 a = 243

Harrizon [31]

To solve for A, multiply each side by 9A to get rid of the fraction, so then 3 = 81(9A) --> 3 = 729A --> 3/729 = 1/243
