Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 3 Answer A is closest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1). Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier. The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.
Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.
The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):
y = (1/2)x - 3
Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility. 1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.

No solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Absolute value can not output a negative result
Answer:
1 / 8
Step-by-step explanation:
So there are 8 marbles in all.
The probability of getting a purple is 1 / 2
The probability of getting a green is 1 / 4
1 / 2 * 1 / 4 = 1 / 8
There is a 1 / 8 chance.
