Whats the slope of (-3,-2) and (5,4)

Hello,

Slope is rise/run, or y/x, and if you are given two pairs of points, this is the equation needed: (y2-y1) over (x2-x1).

Let me plug in the numbers: (4-(-2) over 5-(-3). And that is 6/8, which then is simplified to 3/4. So the slope of those two given points is 3/4. We do not divide or simplify it into a decimal because slope is a fraction, so we leave 3/4 as it is.

Hope this helps, and that my explanation is not too confusing!

Hi there! To find the slope, we have to do y2 - y1/ x2 - x1. This means subtracting the first y-coordinate from the second y-coordinate and the first x-coordinate from the second x-coordinate. It would be set up like this: 4 - (-2) / 5 - (-3). When you do this, you get 6/8 or 3/4 in simplest form. There. The slope of the line is 3/4.

A sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to

Archy [21]

Answer:

0.2916, 0.1488, 0.0319

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sign on the pumps at a gas station encourages customers to have their oil checked, and claims that one out of 10 cars needs to have oil added.

Since each trial is independent there is a constant probability for any random car to need oil is 0.10

Let X be the number of cars that need oil

A) Here X is BIN(4,0.1)

$P(X=1) = 4C1(0.1)(0.9)^3 \\= 0.2916$

B) Here X is Bin (8, 0.1)

$P(x=2) = 8C2 (0.1)^2 (0.9)^6\\\\=0.1488$

C) Here X is Bin (20,5)

$P(x=5) = 20C5 (0.1)^5 (0.9)^{15} \\=0.0319$

Ratio of 2:3 white flour to whole wheat flour to total of 10 cups flour

LenaWriter [7]

White flour makes up 2 / (2+3) of the total 10 cups: 2/5 of the total 10 cups.

2/5 times 10 is 4 cups.

You'll need 4 cups white flour and 6 cups whole wheat flour, making a total of 10 cups of flour.
