12.4 is the answer for both
The answer is that y is equal to zero
The number of ways to arrange the 5 writings in a row is 5! = 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 120 ways.
There is only 1 way to arrange the writings from oldest to newest.
Therefore, the probability is 1/120.
Here we use the equation

Taking points (0,4), (1,2)
Substituting the point (0,4) , we will get

Substituting (1,2) we will get

So we have

Therefore , required equation is

Answer: -4
Step-by-step explanation: If you add all the numbers marked, -7 + -4 + -3 + 2 + 7 you will get -4.
