1) The outcomes for rolling two dice, the sample space, is as follows:
(1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1, 5), (1, 6)
(2, 1), (2, 2), (2, 3), (2, 4), (2, 5), (2, 6)
(3, 1), (3, 2), (3, 3), (3, 4), (3, 5), (3, 6)
(4, 1), (4, 2), (4, 3), (4, 4), (4, 5), (4, 6)
(5, 1), (5, 2), (5, 3), (5, 4), (5, 5), (5, 6)
(6, 1), (6, 2), (6, 3), (6, 4), (6, 5), (6, 6)
There are 36 outcomes in the sample space.
2) The ways to roll an odd sum when rolling two dice are:
(1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (3, 6), (4, 1), (4, 3), (4, 5), (5, 2), (5, 4), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 3), (6, 5). There are 18 outcomes in this event.
3) The probability of rolling an odd sum is 18/36 = 1/2 = 0.5
Answer:
1/2 is the slope of the line
Step-by-step explanation:
To find slope, use the following equation
slope (m) = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
First, set each coordinate. Let:
(x₁ , y₁) = (8 , -6)
(x₂ , y₂) = (4 , -8)
Plug in the corresponding numbers for the corresponding variables.
m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)
m = (-8 - (-6))/(4 - 8)
Simplify. Note that two negative signs would result in a positive sign.
m = (-8 + 6)/(4 - 8)
Combine like terms.
m = -2/-4
Simplify. Divide common factors from both the numerator and denominator.
m = (-2/-4)/(-2/-2) = 1/2
1/2 is the slope of the line

When we multiply or divide the same base with exponents we add or subtract, so for that to work the 0th power has to equal 1
