Answer:

A cage holds 6 black cats and 9 white cats, if two cats escape what is the probability of both cats being white?

Step-by-step explanation:

This involves two events, each with their own probability. Because both the first AND the second have to happen for this problem, you will MULTIPLY the wo individual probabilities.

Total cats = 15, White cats = 9

Probability first escaped cat is white = 9/15

One white cat has now escaped, so we now have Total cats = 14, White cats = 8

Probability second escaped cat is white = 8/14

Now MULTIPLY because this is an AND probability problem. (9/15)(8/14) = 72/210 = 12/35

Look at the graph shown:
Lorico [155]
Pick two points. For example, (0,3) and (2,4)

First, find the slope:
\text{Slope } = \frac{ y_2 - y_1 } { x_2 - x_1 } =    \frac{ 4 -  3}{ 2 - 0}=\boxed{\bf{  \frac{ 1}{ 2}}}

The slope is 1/2.

Now we have this much of the equation:

y = 1/2x + b

Plug in the point (0,3) to find the value of b

3 = (1/2)(0) + b
b = 3

Your final equation is y = 1/2x + 3.
