Let's play with the word: ANTANANARIVO.

(a). What is it? If you do not know, Google it.
(b). In how many distinct ways can the letters of this word be rearranged. You must set up the numerical expression and then evaluate it.
(c). What is the probability that such a random rearrangement starts with all four A's as the first four letters? You must setup the numerical expression and then simplify it.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )

step-by-step explanation:

use context clues to figure out the meaning of the bolded word:
