Answer: B. Ordinal

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement : A sports writer predicts the teams that will finish in the top three places in the eastern, central, and western divisions. It means he will  predicts the teams that will finish in an order ( from first to third ) . It means the sports writer likely to use ordinal scale.

Hence, B is the right answer.

  • An ordinal scale is a level of measurement scale which is used to arrange a data into an order.

The equation of the line passing through the points (−10, 0) and (−8, 20) can be expressed as y = mx + b. Give the value of b.
weeeeeb [17]

Given are the two points (-10,0) and (-8,20), and equation of the line as y=mx+b.

We can plug the given values in the equation as follows :-

0 = -10m + b .........equation(1)

20 = -8m + b .........equation(2)

Subtracting equation(1) from equation(2)

20 - 0 = (-8m + b) - (-10m + b)

20 = -8m + b + 10m - b

20 = 10m - 8m

20 = 2m

m = 10

Plugging m=10 in the equation(1)

0 = -10(10) + b

0 = -100 + b

b = 100

So final answer is b = 100.

Find the distance between the points (5, -3) and (0, 2).
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Distance between points  (5, -3) and (0, 2) is √50 or 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find distance between two points (5,-3) and (0,2)

The distance formula used is:

d= \sqrt {\left( { x_2-x_1 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_2-y_1} \right)^2 }

here

x₁= 5, y₁=-3, x₂=0 and y₂=2

Putting values in the formula:

d= \sqrt {\left( {x_2-x_1} \right)^2 + \left( {y_2-y_1} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {\left( {0-5} \right)^2 + \left( {2-(-3)} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {\left( {-5} \right)^2 + \left( {2+3} \right)^2 }\\d= \sqrt {25+25}\\d= \sqrt {50}\\d= 7.07

So, distance between points  (5, -3) and (0, 2) is √50 or 7.07

what is the general form for a number written in scientific notation? what are its practical applications?
patriot [66]
The general form for a number written in scientific notation would be a x 10^n. <span> where a must be between 1 and 10, and n must be an integer. This type of form is useful when dealing with very large numbers or very small numbers. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Geometry Help! 30 POINTS! + BRAINLIEST
Triss [41]
SRT = 20   => STR = 20.
Since STR and STU are supplementary angles, STU = 180 - STR = 180 - 20 = 160, means x = 40.

For the triangle shown below, complete the following table.
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle

With reference angle A

perpendicular (P) = 3

hypotenuse (h) = 5

So  sin A = p/h = 3/5

and

With reference angle C

perpendicular (p)=  4

hypotenuse (h) = 5

Sin C = p/h = 4/5

hope it helps :)
