(-4,1) and (-8,7) write an equation in slope-intercept form

1 answer:

Answer:

y = -2x - 9

Step-by-step explanation:

so we have our two points, (-4,-1) and (-8,7) What we need to do to find our slope is y2 - y1 over x2 - x1. Once plugging in the numbers and subtracting it should give you 8/-4. 8 divided by -4 is -2. m = -2. Now to find our "b" we plug in our slope, and plug in one of the two points into the format of y = mx + b.

-1 = -2(-4) + b

multiply -2 and -4

-1 = 8 + b

we subtract 8 from itself and -1

-9 = b

Our equation is y = -2x - 9

Answer:

1.3559644*10^-^5

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given we extract the following data

Total Number of Trials (N) = 191

Required Value (x) = 181 (notice it is not 180 since at that value we have enough passengers)

Odds of success (p) = 0.85

Using the binomial formula for calculating probability, i.e.

$P(x; N, p) = nCx * p^x *(1-p)^{N-x}$

Inputting the values

$P(181; 191, 0.85) = 191C181 *0.85^{181} *(1-0.85)^{191-181} \\ P(181; 191, 0.85) = 1.3559644*10^-^5$
