Answer: 2 units.

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph the points given, it gives you this shape in the image below.  The hypotenuse (longest side of triangle) is found by doing the following:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the legs (the other sides of the triangle) and c is the hypotenuse.

5^2 + 2^2 = 29.

√ 29 ≈ 5.38, and that is the length of the hypotenuse.

The shortest side is the bottom side, which is 2 units.  Therefore, that is your answer.

Let me know if this is right! :)

If you roll a dice 600 times, on how many occasions would you expect to land on a 6
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

A dice has 6 sides and, theoretically, each side has the same probability of being rolled. So, if a dice was rolled a number of times, it would land on each side the same number of times. This means that 6 would be rolled 1/6 of the time. Since 1/6 of 600 is 100, that is how many times 6 would be rolled.

Which ordered pair is the best estimate for the
k0ka [10]
Given the pair of simultaneous equation:
y=-2/5x-2
y=5x+1
To evaluate the solution of the system of equation from the graph, we obtain the point at which the two linear equations have intersected. taking the values of x and y from the point of intersection that will be the solution of the system of linear equations. 
In our case the straight lines have intersected at the point (-0.5, -1.75). This implies that:
x=-0.5
y=-1.75
hence the answer is a] (-0.5, -1.75)
