Answer:

$-\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope/Gradient = $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$

P = (-8 , 3) (x1, y1)

Q = (-6 , 2) (x2, y2)

Slope = $\frac{3-2}{-8-(-6)}$ = $\frac{1}{-8+6}$ = $\frac{1}{-2}$ = $-\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the slope is (change in y)/(change in x) or Rise/Run.

The change in y for the two points is: 3 --> 2 which is -1

The change in x for the two points is: -8 --> -6 which is +2

If we input these numbers in the slope equation, we end up with -1/2.

Since we cannot simplify -1/2 further, that is our final answer.

Darryl received a special offer from the local grocery store on gourmet pickle buckets.The size of a pickle bucket is 640 ounces

Elodia [21]

We are given

For Downtown Deli:

The size of a pickle bucket is 640 ounces

so, total ounces =640

the price is only $32

so, total price =32

now, we can find price for each ounces

Price for each ounce = (total price)/(total ounces)

Price for each ounce is

$=\frac{32}{640}$

$=0.05$ $ / ounce

and we are given

The purchasing Brand D pickles at $0.20 per ounce

So, local grocery rate is cheaper

so, Darryl should accept special offer from the local grocery store on gourmet pickle buckets........Answer

Amanda [17]

P(8 or 12) = 1/6
P(not 8 or 12 = 5/6
Let the expected points fro one roll be X.
$E(X)=9\times\frac{1}{6}-2\times\frac{5}{6}=-\frac{1}{6}\ points$
The answer is -(1/6) points.

a survey of 46 college athletes found that 24 played volleyball, while 22 played basketball. if we pick 2 athletes at random wit

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

88/345 which is 0.2551

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are picking 2 athletes randomly and without replacement.

Probability of 1 volleyball player = 24/46 = 12/23

Probability of basketball player (this is after 1 volleyball player has already been picked). We have 45 players left. = 22/45

probability of picking one volleyball player and one basketball player

p(volleyball player and basketball player)

(12/23) x (22/45)

= 88/345
