Use the hypergeometric distribution.
M=number of Men=5
F=number of women=4
m=number of men elected=2
f=number ow women elected=2.

Assuming equal chance to get elected, then
P(2M,2F)=C(M,m)*C(F,f)/C(M+F,m+f)
=C(5,2)*C(4,2)/C(9,4)
=10*6/126
=10/21

Reference: Hypergeometric distribution.

Complete the equation of the line whose y-intercept is (0.-1) and slope is 4.
meriva
Well just by looking at the information provided, you can tell that the equation would look like y = 4x -1. The y-intercept is -1 because the x value is 0. But if you want to see how to solve it algebraically, here’s an explanation... You need to substitute the y-intercept into the equation in order to solve for b, which would then complete the equation. Take the equation y=mx+b. Substitute in the slope and xy values, (-1) = 4(0) + b. Now the equation should look like this: -1 = b. So now that you have the value of b, the complete equation should be y=4x-1
