The equation for the slope of a line is:

y2-y1/x2-x1

So:

-4-1/1-2 = -5/-1 =5

The slope of the line is 5.

Answer:

\Huge \boxed{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope formula:

\displaystyle \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

\displaystyle \frac{(-4)-1}{1-2}=\frac{-5}{-1}=5

\Large\textnormal{Therefore, the slope is 5, and the correct answer is 5.}

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation: Use the two points that are given to you and substitute them into the slope formula to find the answer.

m=<u><em>y2-y1/x2-x1</em></u>

m=9-5/3-1

m=4/2

Simplify the answer.

m=4/2

m=2/1

Final answer is 2.

The slope is positive meaning it is ascending (going up).

The difference between one-fifth of a number and 4 is -75
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Think of this as (1/5)x - 4 = -75, where x is the number that we are trying to figure out. To figure this out, we want to get x by itself, so we can go:

(1/5)x=-71
x=-71*5
x=-355

So your number is -355

PLEASE<br> Need Help<br> Show Work
BartSMP [9]

This set notation really seems the hard way to exclude a single value. Anyway...

The domain doesn't include where the denominator is zero, 4x + 7 = 0,

x = -7/4

The range doesn't include the asymptotic value, which is

y=2x/4x = 1/2

So we need domain x ≠ -7/4 and range y ≠ 1/2

Answer: First choice

The histogram are positively skewed which means their most of data falls to right side. The mean of positively skewed histogram is greater than its median.
