Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation y=mx+b, 'm' is the slope of the line and 'b' is the y-intercept.  

First, you should find the slope of the line.  To do this, use the equation M=y2-y1/x2-x1.  Using the two given points (3,6) and (8,4), you can solve for M.  

M=4-6/8-3

M=-2/5 (-0.4 in decimal form)

Now, your equation is y=-0.4x+b

Next you must solve for b to find the y-intercept.  You can do this by subbing one of the given points in for x and y.  

Using the point (3,6):

y=-0.4x+b

6=-0.4(3)+b

6=-1.2+b

Isolate b:

6+1.2=b

b=7.2

And now you have the equation of the line!

y=-0.4x+7.2 (IN FRACTION FORM: y=-2/5x+36/5)

A bag contains 5 white, 3 black, and 2 green balls. Balls are picked at random.
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

look down there

Step-by-step explanation:

First ball:

Probability of drawing a white ball is 5/8

Probability of drawing a black ball is 3/8

Second ball:

This depends on the first ball drawn, lets say you drew a white ball initially, 4 white balls are left out of 7 balls in total. The probability of a white ball in the second pick is 4/7.

Total probability of drawing two white balls is 5/8*4/7 (since they are independent events).

If you picked a black ball initially, picking another black ball would have a probability of 2/7, on similar grounds , total prob for 2 blacks would be 3/8*2/7.

The probability that you pick 2 balls of same color is (5/14 + 3/28) = 13/28. (Since they are mutually exclusive events)

A survey was given to 339 people asking whether people like dogs and/or cats.
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of it as a Venn diagram.  One circle is the people who like dogs, and one circle is the people who like cats.  The overlap is people who like both dogs and cats.

190 people in the survey said they like dogs.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

141 people in the survey said they like cats.  That includes the people who like both dogs and cats.

If we simply add the two numbers together, we'll be counting the overlap twice.  So to find the total number of people who like dogs or cats, we have to subtract one overlap.

dogs or cats = 190 + 141 − x

Therefore:

190 + 141 − x + 88 = 339

419 − x = 339

x = 80

80 people said they liked both cats and dogs.

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 16 cm and one of its legs measures 11 cm.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

11.6cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

11^2+b^2=16^2

121+b^2=256

b^2=135

b=11.6

What is the total amount and the amount of interest earned on $6,500 at 6% for 25 years?
Deffense [45]
Here's the equation for one year:
0.06(6500) + 6500
But because it is 25 years:
25(0.06(6500)) + 6500
1.5(6500) + 6500
We can make it simpler:
2.5(6500)
The total amount is $16350
