Step-by-step explanation:

Replacement means the probability of each trial is the same (the trials are independent).

For example, let's say you have a standard deck of 52 cards, and you want to find the probability of drawing a queen card twice.

There are 4 queens, so the probability on the first draw is 4/52.

You then replace the queen, so there are still 4 queens in the deck. So the probability on the second draw is still 4/52.

The total probability is the product: 4/52 × 4/52 = 1/169

If you didn't replace the queen after the first draw, there would have been 3 queens in the deck, and the probability on the second draw would have been 3/52.

From the figure the given line passes through the points (0, 0) and (-4, 8).

Recall that the equation of a straight line is given by
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Thus, The equation of the given figure is given by
$\frac{y-0}{x-0} = \frac{8-0}{-4-0}= \frac{8}{-4} \\ \\ -4y=8x \\ \\ y=-2x$
