You have 2 buckets. one full of white marbles and the other full of black marbles. how do you allocate the marbles into buckets

in a way that maximizes your probability of picking 2 white ones when you pick 1 marble from each bucket?

The only way I can think of is to split the buckets in half with half of the black mables and half of the white marbles in each bucket

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 2x+3y=-8 and passes through the point (2,-2)?

Leya [2.2K]

Equation of line passing through (2, -2) and parallel to 2x+3y = -8 is $y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}$

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Need to write equation of line parallel to 2x+3y=-8 and passes through the point (2, -2)

Generic slope intercept form of a line is given by y = mx + c

where "m" = slope of the line and "c" is the y - intercept

Let’s first find slope intercept form of 2x+3y=-8 to get slope of line

$\begin{array}{l}{2 x+3 y=-8} \\\\ {=>y=\frac{-2 x-8}{3}} \\\\ {\Rightarrow y=-\frac{2}{3} x-\frac{8}{3}}\end{array}$

On comparing above slope intercept form of given equation with generic slope intercept form y = mx + c,

$\text {for line } 2 x+3 y=-8, \text { slope } m=-\frac{2}{3}$

We know that slopes of parallel lines are always equal

So the slope of line passing through (2, -2) is also $m=-\frac{2}{3}$

Equation of line passing through $(x_1 , y_1)$ and having slope of m is given by

$\left(y-y_{1}\right)=\mathrm{m}\left(x-x_{1}\right)$

$\text { In our case } x_{1}=2 \text { and } y_{1}=-2$

Substituting the values in equation of line we get

$(y-(-2))=-\frac{2}{3}(x-2)$

$\begin{array}{l}{\Rightarrow y+2=\frac{-2 x+4}{3}} \\\\ {=>3(y+2)=-2 x+4} \\\\ {=>3 y+6=-2 x+4} \\\\ {3 y=-2 x-2}\end{array}$

$y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}$

Hence equation of line passing through (2 , -2) and parallel to 2x + 3y = -8 is given as $y=\frac{-2 x}{3}+\frac{-2}{3}$
