The slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

<h3>What is a slope?</h3>

Slope or the gradient is the number or the ratio which determines the direction or the steepness of the line. The slope is also defined as the ratio of the rise to the run.

Given that the line that passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2).

The slope of the line is calculated by the formula,

Slope = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

Slope = ( 6 - 2) / ( -3 + 5)

Slope = 4 / 2

Slope = 2

Therefore, the slope of the line passes through the points (-5,6) and (-3,2) is 2.

The best type of chart for quickly deriving the mode of a sample data is called the Stem-and-Leaf Plot.

In statistics, the Stem-and-Leaf Plot is an easy-to-make easy-to-read kind of graph that is derived from the table holding the sample data.

The Box-and-Whisker Plot on the other hand is best for visually depicting the five-number summary of any set of data, which are:

Minimum
First Quartile
Median (Second Quartile)
Third Quartile; and
Maximum.

It is to be noted that referenced plots are not indicated hence, the general answer.

Example 5

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

1/2*6(12+x)=12*x

1/2*(72+6)=12x

36+3x=12x

36=9x

4=x

Step-by-step explanation:

Check that x=4

1/2*6(4+12)=12*4

1/2*(24+72)=48

1/2(96)=48

48=48

So x=4 is the correct answer

Solve 2x2 8x - 12 = 0 by completing the square. show step-by-step solution

malfutka [58]

Group x terms
(2x^2+8x)-12=0
undistribute 2
2(x^2+4x)-12=0
take 1/2 of 4 and square it, add negative and positive of it insde (2^2=4)
2(x^2+4x+4-4)-12=0
factor perfect square
2((x+2)^2-4)-12=0
distribute
2(x+2)^2-8-12=0
2(x+2)^2-20=0
add 20 to both sides
2(x+2)^2=20
divide both sides by 2
(x+2)^2=10
sqrt both sides, remember to take positive and negative root
x+2=+/-√10
minus 2 both sides

x=-2+√10 and -2-√10

Graph the function f(x)=-4/3x+4

babymother [125]

Answer: Option D is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: An exponential function is in the form of where a is the initial value and b≠ 0 , b >1 .

Given: The function f(x) = y = ......[1]

The domain is all real numbers and the range is y > 0.

y-intercept defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

Substitute the value of x= 0 in [1] to solve for y;

y = = 4

y-intercept = (0, 4)

End behavior:

when b =3 >1

then;

as ,

therefore, the only graph which represents the function y = is Option D
