Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add all paper clip sizes together:
They want the probability of either a small or medium being chosen, so you add both paper clips sizes together.
Now put the number of small and medium paper clips together over the total number of paper clips to find the probability.
Can divide 350 and 500 by 50, which simplifies it down to 7/10.

Answer <u>(assuming it can be in slope-intercept form)</u>:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) First, find the slope of the line by using the slope formula, . Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:
So, the slope is .
2) Now, use the point-slope formula to write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Substitute real values for the
,
, and
in the formula.
Since represents the slope, substitute
in its place. Since
and
represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, choose any one of the given points (either one is fine, it will equal the same thing at the end) and substitute its x and y values into the formula as well. (I chose (0, -7), as seen below.) Then, isolate y to put the equation in slope-intercept form and find the following answer:
