Slope is –2 & (5, 3) is on the line.<br> Y-Intercept:<br> Equation of the line (no spaces):

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The y intercept is (0,13)

The equation of the line is y = -2x+13

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope intercept form of a line is

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = -2x+b

Substituting the point

3 = -2(5) +b

3 = -10 +b

Add 10 to each side

13 =b

The y intercept is (0,13)

The equation of the line is y = -2x+13

What is 500000 and 60000000 as a decimal

Juliette [100K]

The only way to make a decimal out of either of those numbers is to write a decimal point with some zeros after it.

500,000 = 500,000.000

60,000,000 = 60,000,000.00000

In a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3. Assume outcomes are independent and that you will play the game fo

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

0.6517

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that in a certain game of chance, your chances of winning are 0.3.

We know that each game is independent of the other and hence probability of winning any game = 0.3 (constant)

Also there are only two outcomes

Let X be the number of games you win when you play 4 times

Then X is binomial with p = 0.3 and n =4

Required probability

= Probability that you win at most once

= $P(X\leq 1)\\=P(X=0)+P(X=1)$

We have as per binomial theorem

P(X=r) = $nCr p^r (1-p)^{n-r}$

Using the above the required prob

= 0.6517
