We conclude that the slope of the linear equation that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, -1) is -2.

<h3>How to get the slope of the line that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, - 1)?</h3>

A linear equation has the general form:

y = a*x + b

Where a is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept.

There is a simple equation to get the slope of a point if we know two points. For a line that passes through ( a, b) and (c, d), the equation for the slope is:

a = (d - b)/(c - a)

In this case we know that our line passes through (9, 1) and (10, -1), then using the above equation, we can see that the slope is:

a = (-1 - 1)/(10 - 9) = -2

We conclude that the slope of the linear equation that passes through the points (9, 1) and (10, -1) is -2.

Which explanation can be used to derive the formula for the circumference of a circle?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer: The answer is the first explanation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given five different options and we are to select which explanation is correct to derive the formula for a circumference of a circle.

Let 'C' be the circumference and 'd' be the diameter of a circle. Now, we will write the ratio of the circumference to the diameter as

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}.$

Also, we know that

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{\textup{d}}=\pi.$

And diameter of a circle is twice the radius, so

$d=2r.$

Therefore,

$\dfrac{\textup{C}}{2\textup{r}}=\pi\\\\\Rightarrow \textup{C}=2\pi \textup{r}.$

This is the formula for the circumference of a circle. Since this explanation matches exactly with the first option, so the correct option is

(a). Find the relationship between the circumference and the diameter by dividing the length of the circumference and length of the diameter. Use this quotient to set up an equation to showing the ratio of the circumference over the diameter equals to π . Then rearrange the equation to solve for the circumference. Substitute 2 times the radius for the diameter.

Of the 58 employees in a firm, 8 are considered support staff, and 7 of the employees have more than five years of experience. A

polet [3.4K]

Using statistical concepts, it is found that the number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.

<h3>What is the union of events J and K?</h3>

It means that at least one of event J or event K is true, hence, it is composed by employees that are either considered support staff(less than 5 years of experience) or employees that have more than five years of experience, combining a total of 7 + 8 = 15 employees.

<h3>What is the complement?</h3>

The total number of outcomes of the union of J and K, plus the complement, add to the total number of 58, hence:

15 + x = 58

x = 43.

The number of outcomes that are possible for the complement of the union of Events J and K is of 43.
