1 answer:

5 0

Slope intercepf is y=mx+b wherem=slope and b= y intercept
slope is found by doing
(y1-y2)/(x1-x2)
points are (6,-1) and (-3,2)
(x,y)
x1=6
y1=-1
x2=-3
y2=2
subsitute
(-1-2)/(6-(-2))=-3/(6+2)=-3/8
slope=-3/8
subsitute
y=-3/8x+b
subsitute and solve for b
(-3,2)
x=-3
y=2
2=-3/8(-3)+b
2=9/8+b
2=16/8
subtract 9/8 from both sides
16/8-9/8=b
7/8=b
y=-3/9x+7/8 is the equation

Due to a packaging error, 4 cans labeled diet soda were accidentally filled with regular soda and placed in a 12 pack carton of

Sophie [7]

Answer:

Probability that both cans were regular soda = $\frac{1}{11}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability = $\frac{Desired outcome}{Total possible outcomes}$

We are given 12 total number of cans; 4 cans have been accidentally filled with diet soda.

Probability that first can is a regular soda:

Outcome that first can is a regular soda will give us the number of regular soda available which are 4

Using formula of probability

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 12

Desired outcome: 4 (cans of regular soda)

P(1st can) = $\frac{4}{12}$ = $\frac{1}{3}$

Probability that 2nd can is a regular soda:

<em>As we have already taken a can of regular soda from the pack, the total soda in the pack now 11 and the regular soda left are 3.</em>

Total possible outcomes are, n(total) = 11

Desired outcome: 3 (cans of regular soda as one has already been taken)

P(2nd can) = $\frac{3}{11}$

Probability that both cans are regular soda:

P(both) = P(1st can) × P(2nd can)

= $\frac{1}{3} * \frac{3}{11}$

= $\frac{1}{11}$
