Write the slope-intercept form of the equation for the line.

let's use those two endpoints in the line of (-5 , 2) and (5 , -1)

y=-(3/10)x+(1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A(-5,2),B(5,-1)

step 1

Find the slope m

m=(-1-2)/(5+5)

m=-3/10

step 2

Find the equation of the line into slope point form

we have

m=-3/10

point A(-5,2)

y-2=(-3/10)(x+5) > equation of the line into slope point form

Convert to slope intercept form > isolate the variable y

y=-(3/10)x-(15/10)+2

y=-(3/10)x+(5/10)

simplify

y=-(3/10)x+(1/2)

step-by-step explanation:

i found the life tables for the year 2012. 

life table of males at age 30. probability of dying between ages x and x+1

total population:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001030

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001061

males:  

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001420

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001448

white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001005

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001037

white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001372

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001399

non hispanic white population

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001083

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001116

non hispanic white males

29–30 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001477

30–31 . . . . . . . . . . . . 0.001503

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

the answer is 3/2 and for decimal: 1.5
