|\Omega|=C(16,2)=\dfrac{16!}{2!14!}=\dfrac{15\cdot16}{2}=120\\|A|=C(6,2)+C(10,2)=\dfrac{6!}{2!4!}+\dfrac{10!}{2!8!}=\dfrac{5\cdot6}{2}+\dfrac{9\cdot10}{2}=15+45=60\\\\P(A)=\dfrac{60}{120}=\dfrac{1}{2}=50\%

How do you rewrite equations in slope intercept form ?
PIT_PIT [208]
Slope intercept form is y = mx+b, so you can see that you set the equation equal to y. So if the equation is 2y+3x=6, then you solve for y to put it in slope intercept form.
2y + 3x = 6
2y = -3x + 6
y = (-3/2)x + 3

Keep in mind that the term with the x has to be before the constant, so it can't be y = 3 -(3/2)x

And by the way m is the slope and b is y-intercept, so in <span>y = (-3/2)x + 3, -3/2 is slope and (0,3) is y-intercept</span>
