Answer:

y = 2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

to do this problem, we will use the following formula to find the slope of the line

(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)

(1,5) (2,7)

(7 - 5) / (2 - 1)

2 / 1

2 = m

next, we will substitute the slope and one of the points into the slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) and solve for b to find the y-intercept

y = mx + b

7 = (5)(2) + b

7 = 10 + b

-3 = b

finally, we put it all together into one equation

y = 2x - 3

Which of the following numbers could not possibly be a probability? Justify your answer. 0.123 negative 0.577 0 What must be tr

dusya [7]

Answer:

First question: -0.577 cannot be a probability.

Second question: The number must be between 0 and 1, inclusive (D)

Third question: -0.577 cannot be a probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is a real number that is in the interval [0, 1]. Therefore, any number outside this range cannot be considered a probability. Under this premise:

First question: -0.577 cannot be a probability.

Second question: The number must be between 0 and 1, inclusive (D)

Third question: -0.577 cannot be a probability.
