Find the equation of a line that passes the points (5, -9) and (0, -3)

y = -6/5x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Point Slope Form:  (y - y1) = m(x - x1)

Step 1:  Find Slope

m =

m =

m =

m =

m =

Step 2:  Plug into Point Slope Form

(y - (-3)) = -6/5(x - 0)

y + 3 - 3 = -6/5x - 3

y = -6/5x - 3

 y = -6/5x - 3

Y=-6/5x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets convert these two points into slope-intercept form.

We can find the slope with the equation y2-y1/x2-x1=slope.

Insert the values into the equation.

-9-(-3)/5-0=slope

Simplify both sides.

-6/5=slope

The slope is -6/5. To complete equation, we need to find the y intercept.

The y intercept is -3. We know this because x is equal to 0 in this point.

Write it as an equation.

y=(-6/5)x+(-3)

Simplify.

The equation would be y=-6/5x-3

Hope this helps!

jacob, non hispanic white male. 30 years old.

probability that jacob lives to be 30 years old. 

since the given probabilities are probabilities of dying, i think we simply subtract it from 1 to get the probability of living. we will use the probability of non hispanic white male.

                                          probability of living to be 30 y.o.

29 - 30 : 1 - 0.001477 = 0.998523

30 - 31 : 1 - 0.001503 = 0.998497
