If you roll two fair six-sided dice, what is the probability that the sum is 999 or higher?

step-by-step explanation:

if we roll   two fair six-sided dice, then the outcomes to get the sum atleast 9 are: (6,3), (3,6), (6,4), (4,6), (6,5), (5,6), (5,5), (6,6)

thus, the number of outcomes for the sum to be greater than or equal to 9 = 8

the total possible outcomes = 36

then the probability that the sum is 9 or higher is given by : -

hence, the   probability that the sum is 9 or higher is

step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = - 4

step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in standard form is

ax + by = c ( a is a positive integer and b, c are integers )

express the line first of all in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (7, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, - 8)

m = = -

y = - x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation

using (4, - 8 ), then

- 8 = - + c ⇒ c = -

y = - x - ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 3 to eliminate the fractions

3y = - 5x - 4 ( add 5x to both sides )

5x + 3y = - 4 ← in standard form
