ALTITUDE
the altitude is the height of the traignel

if we graph the points, we get some lopsided triangle
so we know the altitude is peerpendicular to the base
so find the line that is perpendicular to the line tha passes through A and C

so first fid the line that passes through (-4,-2) and (18,-8)
slope=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
slope=(-8-(-2))/(18-(-4))=(-8+2)/(18+4)=-6/22
perpendicular lines have slopes the multipy to -1
-6/22 times what=-1
times both sides by -22/6
wat=22/6
that is the slope of the line that is the altitude

we have to use point slope form
the equation of a line that passes through (x1,y1) and has sloe of m is
y-y1=m(x-x1)
so passes through B (4,4) and has slope of 22/6
y-4=22/6(x-4)
y-4=22/6x-44/3
y=(22/6)x-32/3
that is the altitude






MEDIAN
the media is the line joining the midpoint of one side to the vertex of the other
so we need to find the line that passes through the midpoint of AB and through the point C
midpoint of (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is
((x1+x2)/2,(y1+y2)/2)
so
midopint of (-4,-2) and (4,4) is
((-4+4)/2,(-2+4)/2)=(0/2,2/2)=(0,1)

so we just find the line that passes through (0,1) and (18,-8)
slope iis (-8-1)/(18-0)=-9/18=-1/2
a point is (0,1) and sloe si -1/2
y-1=-1/2(x-0)
y-1=1/2x
y=(1/2)x+1








ALTITUDE
y=(-6/22)x

MEDIAN:
y=(1/2)x+1

4. A statistician working for the National Basketball Association supplies the television announcers with interesting statistics
Sonbull [250]

Answer: 0.038

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Total games : n= 375

Number of games won by  the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter. = 300

The proportion (p) of the team that was winning the game at the end of the third quarter: p=\dfrac{300}{375}=0.8

Critical z-value for 90% confidence: z* = 1.645

Margin of error =z^*\sqrt{\dfrac{(1-p)p}{n}}

The margin of error in a 90% confidence interval estimate of p =1.645\sqrt{\dfrac{0.2\times0.8}{300}}\\= 1.645\times\sqrt{0.00053333}\\\\=1.645\times0.0231\\\\=0.0379995\approx$$0.038

Hence, the required margin of error = 0.038

A rectangle is 13 centimeters wide and 18 centimeters long. how long is its diagonal
Naddika [18.5K]
You have to use the Pythagorean theorem a squared plus b squared is c squared so 13 squared plus 18 squared equals c squared. 13x13=169 18x18=324 169+324=493 so c squared is 493 to get c you square root 493 which equals 22.2 so the diagonal, c, is 22.2 centimeters long

A bag contains white marbles and yellow marbles, 54 in total. The number of white marbles is 6 less than 3 times the number of y
NNADVOKAT [17]
Let x be white marbles, y be yellow marbles
x+y=54…(1)
x=3y - 6 …(2)

put (2) into (1)
(3y - 6) + y = 54
4y = 60
y=15

put y=15 into (1)

x + 15=54
x=39

so y=15 x=39
