In a cookie jar there are 9 sugar cookies and 12 snickerdoodle cookies. The cookie are randomly mixed together in the jar. What
1 answer:
Answer:
The probability of pulling two of the same types of cookies in a row without replacement is .
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a total of 21 * 20 = 420 different outcomes (After you take one cookie out, you aren't replacing it, so there will be 20 cookies in the jar on the second grab). There are a total of 9 * 8 = 72 different combinations of two sugar cookies, and 12 * 11 = 132 different combinations of two snickerdoodle cookies, so the total probability of pulling two of the same types of cookies in a row without replacement is .

Assuming you want the equation in slope intercept form, you first need to use slope formula to find the slope.
Plug in the coordinates that you have, (3,-1) and (4,7), for the x and y values respectively.
Which reduces to 8/1=8.
The slope of your equation is 8.
Slope intercept form is: y=mx+b. m is your slope and b is your y-intercept, x and y stay unchanged.
Plug the slope in:
y=8x+b.
Now, you can plug one of the sets of coordinates into the x and y of the equation to find b. I'm using (3,-1).
-1=8(3)+b
-1=24+b
Subtract 24 from both sides.
-25=b
Now plug this into the equation!
y=8x-25 is your final equation.
I hope this helps :)
