Answer:

y = -3x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Choosing two points from the given table:

Let (x1, y1) = (-3, 16)

(x2, y2) = (-1, 10)

Plug these given values into the slope formula:

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

= (10 - 16) / (-1 - (-3))

= -6 / (-1 + 3)

= -6/2

= -3

Therefore, the slope is -3.

Next, choose one of the points and plug into the <u>point-slope form</u>:

Let's use (-1, 10) as (x1, y1):

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 10 = -3(x - (-1))

y - 10 = -3(x + 1)

y - 10 = -3x - 3

Add 10 on both sides to isolate y:

y - 10 + 10 = -3x - 3 + 10

y = -3x + 7

Answer:

in the theory of chances, it states that no matter what the average, chance can change it no matter what. Like someone getting good chances in a video game 2 times in a row. its rare, but compared to how many people play the game and how often, it was bound to happen at some point. the chances could be tiny, but it could still happen. just like if 100 monkeys were on typewriters typing 60 wpm, one would eventually type Abraham Lincoln. low chance, but if all these monkeys are doing it enough, it would happen eventually. so, it is entirely possible that 2/3 of his next predictions will be correct.
