Answer:
y = -4x +2
Step-by-step explanation:
As x-values increase by 1, y-values decrease by 4. The slope of the line is ...
... m = (change in y)/(change in x) = -4/1 = -4
We can use the first (x, y) pair as a point to use in the point-slope form of the equation of a line. That form can be written, for slope m and point (h, k) ...
... y = m(x -h) +k
using m = -4 and (h, k) = (1, -2), we can fill in the numbers to get ...
... y = -4(x -1) -2
... y = -4x +4 -2 . . . . eliminate parentheses
... y = -4x +2 . . . . . . slope-intercept form

<em>Alternate approach</em>
After you recognize that a change in x of 1 gives a change in y of -4, you can work backward one step to find the table value for y corresponding to x=0. That will be -2+4 = +2. Now, you know both the slope (-4) and the y-intercept (+2), so you can write the equation directly from this knowledge:
... y = -4x +2

Completed question:
In the game of tic-tac-toe, if all moves are performed randomly the probability that the game will end in a draw is 0.127. Suppose six random games of tic-tac-toe are played. What is the probability that at least one of them will end in a draw?
Answer:
0.557
Step-by-step explanation:
For each game, the probability of not end in a draw is 1 - 0.127 = 0.873. Thus, because each game is independent of each other, the probability of all of them not end in a draw is the multiplication of the probability of each one:
0.873x0.873x0.873x...x0.873 = 0.873⁶ = 0.443
Thus, the probability that at least one of them end in a draw is the total probability (1) less the probability that none of them en in a draw:
1 - 0.443
0.557
