Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula

m = y2 - y1 x2 - x1 . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used?

The correct question is
<span>Jack and Jill are trying to find the slope of a line segment connecting two points, (x1, y1) and (x2, y2). Jack uses the formula m = (y2 - y1)/( x2 - x1) . Jill mistakenly uses a different formula, but still gets the right answer. Which formula COULD she have used? A) (x2 - x1)/( y2 - y1) B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2) C) (x1 - x2)/( y2 - y1) D) (y2 - y1)/( x1 - x2)

we know that

the correct formula to calculate the slope is
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
then 
</span><span>if both numerator and denominator multiply it by -1
</span>
m=-(y2-y1)/-(x2-x1)---------> m=[-y2+y1]/[-x2+x1]
m=[y1-y2]/[x1-x2]

therefore

the answer is the option 
B) (y1 - y2)/( x1 - x2)

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Option 1 - X = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution to this equation, x - 15 = - 6

Solving the following,

Step 1: x - 15 = -6

Replace all the numerical values in one side and x digits on the other side

Step 2: x = -6+15

Step 3: x = 9

Therefore, the value of x is 9.

A population has a known standard deviation of 1.27 and a sample space contains 85 values find the margin of error needed to cre
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

The margin of error needed to create a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population is of 0.3547

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our \alpha level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

\alpha = \frac{1-0.99}{2} = 0.005

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of 1-\alpha.

So it is z with a pvalue of 1-0.005 = 0.995, so z = 2.575

Now, find the margin of error M as such

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

In which \sigma is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

\sigma = 1.27, n = 85

So

M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}

M = 2.575*\frac{1.27}{\sqrt{85}}

M = 0.3547

The margin of error needed to create a 99% confidence interval estimate of the mean of the population is of 0.3547
