First we find the slope between the two given points.
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-5 - 2)/(7 - 6) = -7/1 = -7
Now we use the slope-intercept equation of a line.
y = mx + b
We use one point as x and y, and we solve for b.
2 = -7(6) + b
2 = -42 + b
b = 44
The equation is
y = -7x + 44
Answer: f(x) = -7x + 44
C adding a number to itself
There are 2! = 2 ways to arrange the names of two basketball players in a hat.
Since, the are going to throw alphabetically, there is 1 way for the names to be arranged alphabetically.
Therefore, <span>the probability that they shoot free throws in alphabetical order is
