3 0

Answer:

y = -3x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Going from the point (0,3) to the point (1,0), we see that the rise (change in y) is -3 and the run (change in x) is 1. Thus, the slope of the new line is

m = rise/run = -3/1 = -3.

Using the coordinates of the given point (-1, 0), we'll find the equation of this line in point-slope form:

y - 0 = m(x + 1), or y = -3(x + 1), or (in slope-intercept form) y = -3x - 3

Suppose that 62 percent of the graduates from your high school go on to four-year colleges, 15 percent go on to two-year college

Answer:

b) .474

Step-by-step explanation:

If 62% go to a four-year college, that means that those who don't represent 38% of the high-school graduates.

You pick up someone who is NOT going to a four-year college (so, he's among the 38%)... what's the chance he's in the 18% of the whole high-school graduates population that found a job?

To calculate that probability, we have to divide 18% by 38%.

P = 18% / 38% = 0.4736, so 0.474

Since we are sure he doesn't go to a four-year college, there's 47.4% of chances he finds a job.
