Two events A and B are​ if the occurrence of one does not affect the probability of the occurrence of the other.

Independent

Step-by-step explanation:

From the word independent, which means being able ot stand alone, that is the absence or presence of one has no impact on the outcome of each phenomenon. Two events A and B are said to be independent, if the occurence of one has no bearing on the probability or chance that B will occur. This means that each event occurs without reliance on the occurence of the other. This is different from mutually exclusive event whereby event A has direct bearing in the probability of the occurence of event B.

a) y = -3x +2

b) y = 1/2x -6

these 2 can be combined into one equation.

-3x +2 = .5x -6

8 = 3.5x

x = 8 / 3.5 = 2.2857142857

y = -3 * (8 / 3.5) +2

y = (-24 / 3.5) + 2

y = -4.8571428571
