Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

What are parallel lines?

Lines that are parallel never touch. They can extend infinitely and they will still never touch. In order for this to happen the slope of the two lines must be the same. So if we want to find the slope of every line that is parallel to the line on the graph, we simply find the slope of the line of the graph.

Finding the slope

We can find the slope using the following formula:

Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Where the x and y values are derived from any given points on the line (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

Here the given points are (-5,-1) and (0,-2)

So we have (x1,y1) = (-5,-1) meaning x1 = -5 and y1 = -1

We also have (x2,y2) = (0,-2) meaning x2 = 0 and y2 = -2

Now we plug these values into the formula

Recall formula : Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

==> Plug in x1 = -5 , y1 = -1 , x2 = 0 and y2 = -2

Slope=\frac{-2-(-1)}{0-5}

==> simplify numerator and denominator

slope = \frac{1}{-5}

So the slope of the line is -1/5

This means the slope of any parallel line to that line would also have a slope of -1/5

What is the 101st term in the sequence 997, 989, 981, ...?
melamori03 [73]

Answer: first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the common difference d of the arithmetic sequence:

d=a_n-a_{(n-1)}\\d=989-997\\d=-8

Then the formula for the 101st term is the shown below:

a_n=a_1+(n-1)d

Where:

a_1=997\\d=-8\\n=101

Substitute values into the formula. Therefore, you obtain:

a_n=997+(101-1)(-8)=197

balandron [24]

Answer:

The sample size is n = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The margin of error is  E =4.266

    The standard deviation is  \sigma = 2.539

From the question we are told the confidence level is  99% , hence the level of significance is    

      \alpha = (100 - 99 ) \%

=>   \alpha = 0.01

Generally from the normal distribution table the critical value  of  \frac{\alpha }{2} is  

   Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } =  2.58

Generally the sample size is mathematically represented as  

   n = [\frac{Z_{\frac{\alpha }{2} } *  \sigma }{E} ] ^2

=>  n = [\frac{2.58  *  2.539  }{4.266} ] ^2

=>  n = 2
