Find the slope of the line that passes through (-2, 8) and (-10, 14)

Hello!

To find the slope we divide the difference of the y-values by the difference of the x-values as shown below.

\frac{14-8}{-10+2} = -\frac{6}{8} = -\frac{3}{4}

The slope of our line is -3/4.

I hope this helps!

The slope is \frac{3}{-4} or -0.75.

m=\frac{y _{2}-y _{1} }{ x_{2}- x_{1} }
m=\frac{14-8}{-10-(-2)}
m=\frac{6}{-8}
Simplify \frac{6}{-8} into \frac{3}{-4}, by dividing two into the numerator and denominator.
m=-0.75

After being rejected for employment, Kim Kelly learns that the Bellevue Credit Company has hired only five women among the last
Georgia [21]

Answer:

The probability that 5 or fewer women are hired, assuming no gender discrimination, is 0.0317; we can use this result to support her charge of gender discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are assuming that the women and the men are equally qualified, then the probability for each employee that is hired the probability for it to be a women should be 1/2. Note that the fact that more men that women are hired in a sample might not be disctrimination: for example, if 2 men are hired out of 2 employees, that can happen with probability 1/4, so it is quite common. In order to support her charge for gender discrimination, we need at least a probability less that 0.05 that 5 (or less) women are hired out of 19 employees.

Since each configuration is equally probable, we will count the total amount of possible cases that 5 or less women are hired, and dividide it by the total amount of cases, 2¹⁹.

  • 0 women hired: one possible case: every employee is male
  • 1 women hired: 19 possible cases
  • 2 women hired: {19 \choose 2} = 171 possible cases
  • 3 women hired: {19 \choose 3}  = 969 possible cases
  • 4 women hired: {19 \choose 4} = 3876 possible cases
  • 5 women hired: {19 \choose 5} = 11628 possible cases

Thus, there are a total of 11628+3876+969+171 = 16644 possible cases out of 2¹⁹ ones. All of them with seemingly equal probability. As a consequence, the probability of 5 or less women to be hired out of 19 employees, assuming that the probability to hire 1 is 1/2, is

16644/2¹⁹ = 0.0317 < 0.05

The probability that 5 or fewer women are hired, assuming no gender discrimination, is 0.0317. Since the probability is so low, we can conclude that for the employer, a woman equally qualified as a man is less likely to be hired, therefore, we can support her charge of gender discrimination.

A particular bacterium population is found to double the in 20 minutes. If a laboratory culture
insens350 [35]

The bacteria present at t=37 minutes is found to be 8.40, with no change in growth rate.

<h3>What does population growth exponentially mean?</h3>

When a population's per capita growth rate remains constant, regardless of population size, exponential growth occurs, causing the population to grow exponentially as the population increases.

Given:

P = 340

It has been discovered that a specific bacterial population doubles in 20 minutes.

k = 2/20 = 0.1

t = 37 minutes

We know that,

P = P₀e^{kt}

340   = P₀(e^{0.1*37})

340 =P₀(40.44)

P₀ = 8.40

As a result, the bacteria that will be present in t=37 minutes is found to be 8.40 with no change in growth rate.

What is the additive inverse of 7/2 ?<br> A) −2/7<br> B) −7/2<br> C) 2/7<br> D) 7/2
snow_lady [41]
The additive inverse of 7/2 would be -7/2 (option B) Since its. opposite !

A)is the additive inverse of C) ; C) is the additive inverse of A) (not your answer)

B. is the additive inverse for this problem (7/2) so thats how we found that this is your answer (answer)

D is the same thing for the problem (7/2) (not your answer)

7/2 isnt the additive inverse for 7/2 because they are the SAME not the opposite.

+ = - (Positive = negative)

- = + (negative = positive)
