explain the difference between independent and dependent events AND how I can tell the difference in a word problem.

The answer to your question is:

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

A (8, 9)

B (-2, 4)

1. What is the slope of the line? Show your work

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

m = (4 - 9) / (-2 - 8)

m = -5 / - 10

m = 1/2

2. Write the equation of the line in point-slope form. Show your work

(y - y1) = m(x -x1)

(y - 9) = 1/2(x - 8)

3. Write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form.

(y - 9) = 1/2(x - 8)

y - 9 = 1/2x - 4

y = 1/2x - 4 + 9

y = 1/2x + 5
