The slope of any line on the x-y plane is expressed as the rise divided by the run - the "rise" here is the change in the y coordinate, and the "run" is the change in the x coordinate. Given -4 and 8 as your y coordinates in this problem, and 3 and -1 as your x coordinates, how can you find the change - or difference - in each? Once you have those, you'll just need to put the

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the ratio of the vertical distance and horizontal distance between two points on a line.

Note that zero is tangible if the line is horizontal, and undefined if it is vertical.

Slope = ∆y / ∆x

Coordinates given: (-1,8) and (3,-4)?

Slope = -4 - 8 / 3 - (-1)

Slope = -12 / 4

= - 3

Lelu [443]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

It must be the same as the angle opposite of it.

You can see that 134 and 134 are the same, so the other two corners need to be the same and be 46 and 46.

You intend to estimate a population proportion with a confidence interval. The data suggests that the normal distribution is a r
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The critical value that corresponds to a confidence level of 99% is, 2.58.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider a random variable <em>X</em> that follows a Binomial distribution with parameters, sample size <em>n </em>and probability of success <em>p</em>.

It is provided that the distribution of proportion of random variable <em>X, </em>\hat p, can be approximated by the Normal distribution.

The mean of the distribution of proportion is, \mu_{\hat p}=\hat p

The standard deviation of the distribution of proportion is, \sigma_{\hat p}=\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n}}.

Then the confidence interval for the population proportion <em>p</em> is:

CI=\hat p\pm z_{\alpha /2}\sqrt{\frac{\hat p(1-\hat p)}{n} }

The confidence level is 99%.

The significance level is:

\alpha =1-\frac{Confidence\ level}{100}=1-\frac{99}{100}=1-0.99=0.01

Compute the critical value as follows:

z_{\alpha /2}=z_{0.01/2}=z_{0.005}

That is:

P(Z>z)=0.005\\P(Z

Use the <em>z</em>-table for the <em>z-</em>value.

For <em>z</em> = 2.58 the P (Z < z) = 0.995.

And for <em>z</em> = -2.58 the P (Z > z) = 0.005.

Thus, the critical value is, 2.58.

What is the value of -3⁶ +(-4+7)(2)?<br>​
svp [43]

-3^6 = -729

-729 +(-4+7)(2)

-729 +(3)(2)

-729 + 6

-723

<em>hope it helps :)</em>

(ps: the result of -3^6 is not +729, the expression that would give this result is (-3)^6
