Steps:
1. Do the point slope form
Y-Y1=m(x-x1)
Y-5=2(x + 6)
Y-5=2x +12
2. Now you add 5 to the number 12
3. Your answer is
Y=2x +17
The correct answer is 8/7

Answer:
216/343 or 0.6297 (4dp)
Step-by-step explanation:
Anytime the probability of an event occurs more than once in a particular order (one time after another in the same instance), then the probability is multiplied together. If the probability of him making the shot is 1/7, then the probability of him missing it is 6/7. This is because this is the only other possible outcomes and all outcome probabilities must add to 1 (1-1/7 - 6/7).
So, if he misses it three times in a row then the probability is:
6/7 (probability miss this first time) x 6/7 (probability miss second time) x 6/7 (probability miss 3rd time).
6/7 x 6/7 x 6/7 = 216/343
or 0.6297 (4dp)
Hope this helped!
