Answer:

y=-3x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Start with the given equation, and to find the slope, convert it to slope-intercept form by solving for y.

3x+y=-5

In this case, all you need to do is subtract 3x from both sides.

y=-3x-5

Here, the slope is -3. The slope of a parallel line will also be -3.

Now, we have 3 known variables. We have the slope and the x and y of a known point. Use those 3 knowns to solve for the 1 unknown, the y-intercept.

y=mx+b\\-5=(-3)(-1)+b\\-5=3+b\\-8=b\\b=-8

Finally, with the slope and the y-intercept, you can write the equation of the line:

y=-3x-8

devlian [24]

Answer:  0.82

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that :

For any event A , the probability of not getting A is given by :-

P(not A)= 1- P(A)

Given : The probability that a student chosen at random from your class is a psychology major is P( psychology major) =0.18.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major will be :

P(not psychology major)= 1 - P(psychology major)

= 1-0.18=0.82

Hence, the probability that a student chosen at random from your class is not a psychology major= 0.82
