Answer:

2/3x - y = -13/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find slope m

m = (3 - 5)/(-2 - 1)

m = -2/-3

m = 2/3

y = 2/3x + b

Step 2: Find b

5 = 2/3(1) + b

5 = 2/3 + b

b = 13/3

Step 3: Write equation in slope-intercept form

y = 2/3x + 13/3

Step 4: Move 2/3x over

-2/3x + y = 13/3

Step 5: Factor out -1

-1(2/3x - y) = 13/3

Step 6: Divide both sides by -1

2/3x - y = -13/3

An advertiser drops 10,000 leaflets on a city which has 2000 blocks. Assume that each leaflet has an equal chance of landing on

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.00673

Step-by-step explanation:

As each of the 10000 leaflets has equal chance on landing into 1 of the 2000 blocks, this means each leaflet has a probability of 1/2000 to land on the 1st block, 1/2000 to land on the 2nd lock, 1/2000 to land on the 3rd block, and so on.

The probability that a particular block will receive no leaflet is chance of each leaflets to land on the other 1999 blocks, which has a chance of 1999/2000. For all 10000 leaflets to happen like this independently, then the total probability is

$\left(\frac{1999}{2000}\right)^{10000} = 0.00673$
