Answer:

y = -2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is given by the point that is on the y-axis. (1)

This means that the answer contains a +1

Then you must find if the slope is positive or negative

In this case the slope is negative because the line goes "downhill" from left to right

Since the slope is negative it means that there will be a negative sign in the beginning of the equation

Next, to find the slope you need to find the rise over run

Since it is a negative slope the rise will be negative and the run will be positive.

To find the slope find two clear points on the graph such as (0,1) and (2,0)

To find the slope, use the slope formula

This would look like: (0-2)/(1-0)

Your slope will be -2x

Piece it all together and you get a final answer of y= -2x+1

Eight rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other ro

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

9.11*10^-4 %

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, you simply need to find the possible outcomes that allows no rooks to be in danger, and the possible amount of ways to place the rooks.

For the first outcome, you start by putting 1 rook in the first columns, you have 8 possible rows to do this. The next rook in the next column will only have 7 possible rows, as you have to exclude the one where the previous rook is located. The next rook, 6 possibilities, the next 5, and so on. So we conclude that the total amount of ways so that none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks is 8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 8! = 40320

In order to find the total amount of ways to place the rooks, you can just use a combinatoric:

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}64\\8\end{array}\right]= \frac{64!}{8!(64-8)!} = 4.43*10^9$
