Answer:

y = 1/3x -2

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation for slope intercept form is y= mx + b.

m is the slope and b is where the line crosses the y-axis which is called the y-intercept.

to find the y-intercept plug in a coordinate on the line (6,0)

0 = 1/3(6) + b

then solve for b by first multiplying 1/3 by 6

0 = 2 + b

subtract 2 from both sides

-2 = b

and then you can plug b into the equation

y = 1/3x - 2

Assume there are 365 days in a year.

The chance of student 1's birthday being individual is 365/365 or 100%.
Then the chance of student 2's birthday being different is 364/365.
Then it's narrowed down to 363/365 for student 3 and so on until you get all 10 students.
If you multiply all these values together, the probability would come out at around 0.88305182223 or 0.88.

To get all the same birthday you'd have to the chance of one birthday, 1/365 and multiply this by itself 10 times. This will produce a very tiny number. In standard form this would be 2.3827x10'-26 or in normal terms: 0.23827109210000000000000000, so very small.

Heron’s formula: Area = Triangle PQR has sides measuring 9 feet and 10 feet and a perimeter of 24 feet. What is the area of tria

VladimirAG [237]

Hello,

Let's assume a,b,c the 3 sides of the triangle.

a=9
b=10
c=24-a-b=5

$p= \dfrac{a+b+c}{2} =12\\

S= \sqrt{p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c)} = \sqrt{12*3*2*7} = \sqrt{504} =22,4499...\approx{22}$
