<h3>Answer:  2/5</h3>

==========================================================

Explanation:

A = list of primes between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

A = {2,3,5,7,11,13}

B = list of integers between 2 and 16, inclusive for both endpoints

B = {2,3,4,...,14,15,16}

The dots indicate the pattern continues, which means we don't have to write out every value.

There are n(A) = 6 items in set A and n(B) = 16-2+1 = 15 items in set B. I'm using the formula that a set like {p,p+1,p+2,...,q-2,q-1,q} has q-p+1 elements in it. This only works for integers and they must be consecutive. Also q > p.

Once we know how many items are in each set, we divide the two counts

P(finding a prime between 2 and 16) = n(A)/n(B) = 6/15 = 2/5

What is the slope of the line that passes through the points (7.-12) and (-9,36)?​
REY [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

m = slope where

m = rise / run

rise = y2 - y1  

run = x2 - x1

where  

the given point P1 = (7, -12)

and is in the form of (x1,y1)  

and

the given point P2 = (-9,36)  

is  in   the   form  of   (x2,y2)

then

m =  ( y2 - y1 ) / ( x2 - x1 )

m = ( 36 - (-12) ) / ( -9 -7 )

m = ( 36 + 12 ) /  ( - 16 )

m =  48 /  - 16

m = - 3

the slope is negative 3

slope = - 3
