<span>As you look at the graph from left to right (increasing x), if the line is going up(increasing y), slope is positive.
.
If it's going down (decreasing y), slope is negative.

This is a rather famous probability problem.
The easiest way to solve this is to calculate the probability that you WON'T roll a "double 6" (or a twelve) each time you roll the dice. There are 36 ways in which dice rols can appear and only one is a twelve. So, for one roll, the probability that you will NOT get a twelve is (35/36)^n where 35/36 is about .97222222 and n would equal 1 for the first trial. So for your first roll the odds that you WON'T get a 12 is .97222222.
For the second roll we calculate (35/36) to the second power or (35/36)^2 which equals about .945216.
When we get to the 24th roll we calculate (.97222222)^24 which equals 0.508596.
For the 25th roll, we calculate (.97222222)^25 which equals 0.494468. For the first time we have reached a probability which is lower than 50 per cent. That is to say, after 25 rolls, we have reached a point in which the probability is less than 50 per cent that we will NOT roll a twelve.
To phrase this more clearly, after 25 rolls we reach a point where the probability is greater then 50 per cent that you will roll a 12 at least once.
Please go to this page 1728.com/puzzle3.htm and look at puzzle 48. (The last puzzle on the page). An intersting story associated with this probability problem is that in 1952, a gambler named Fat the Butch bet someone $1,000 that he could roll a 12 after 21 throws. (He miscalculated the odds [as we know you need 25 throws] and after several HOURS, he lost $49,000!!!)
Please go that page and it has a link to the Fat the Butch story.
Linear
Step-by-step explanation:
because a linear changes at a constant rate and an exponential changes by a common ratio
Given that <span>point L is between M and N on MN. Then
MN = ML + LN
31 = h - 15 + 2h - 8 = 3h - 23
3h = 31 + 23 = 54
h = 54/3 = 18
Therefore, LN = 2(18) - 8 = 36 - 8 = 28.
