Write an equation in point slope form for a line that includes the origin and (9,-3)

1 answer:

3 0

So we are given two points that the line crosses, the origin and (9, -3), we can calculate the slope m of the line with these data, dividing the y segment by the x segment:
m = (-3 - 0)/(9 - 0) = -3/9
m = -1/3
then we can use the point slope line equation to find the line equation, lets use the point origin (0,0) to do so:
y - y1 = m(x - x1), where x1, y1 are the coordinates of a point that the line crosses:
y - 0 = (-1/3)(x - 0)
y = <span>(-1/3)x
so this is the equation of the line, slope -1/3 and y intercept 0</span>

Let the probability of success on a Bernoulli trial be 0.26. a. In five Bernoulli trials, what is the probability that there wil

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

0.3898 = 38.98% probability that there will be 4 failures

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence of Bernoulli trials forms the binomial probability distribution.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
