In Math class, there was a bucket of markers on the counter with seven blue, five green, and twelve orange markers. Each student will get one, and there are twenty-four students. What is the best answer for the probability that Liz will NOT get an orange marker? A 7/24 B 1/2 C 12/19 D 36/24

B because seven blue markers and five green markers add together to make a total of 12 markers that are not orange. The total number of markers that the math class has is 24. So... 12/24 can be simplified to make 1/2 or 1:2

y = 3x - 10

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm assuming that you are supposed to write the equation of a line that is parallel to the one given, going through the point given.  I'm going with that.  This is a line in slope-intercept form:  y = mx + b.  

If 2 lines are parallel to one another, the m values are exactly the same.  So what we need to do is find the y-intercept value, b, since that is what is different in parallel lines.  We will use the m value of 3, the x value from our point of 2, and the y value from our point of -4 to solve for b:

-4 = 3(2) + b and

-4 = 6 + b so

b = -10.  Now we fit that back into the equation using the same m value as in the line it is parallel to:

y = 3x - 10
