<h3>Answer is  3:2</h3>

Explanation

The probability of getting the correct answer is 2/5. This means there are 2 events of getting it right out of 5 events total. Since there are 2 events of getting it right, there are 5-2 = 3 events of getting it wrong.

The odds against getting the right answer is 3:2. We list the number of ways to get it wrong first, a colon, then the number of ways of getting it right.

Can someone help me please

Answer:

  slope = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, we have shown rise and run as 3 units each. The segments could be drawn 1 unit long. In any event, the ratio is the slope:

  slope = rise/run = 3/3

  slope = 1

_____

It is most convenient to draw the rise and run segments from/to places where the line crosses grid intersections. Often, but not always, the y-intercept will be such a point. Then you can look for the nearest grid crossing for figuring rise and run.

Here, the y-intercept is (0, 1), and the closest grid crossing to the right is (1, 2). The rise is 2-1 = 1, and the run is 1-0 = 1. The ratio is 1/1 = 1, same as above. The ratio of rise to run will be the same everywhere for a straight line.
