We can find the slope of this line by using the slope formula:

$\frac{y.2 - y.1}{x.2 - x.1} = m$

We'll use the points (-6, 0) and (0, -3)

(-3 - 0) / (0 + 6) = -3/6 = -0.5

The slope of the line is A, -1/2

An archaeologist at a dig sets up a coordinate system using string. Two similar artifacts are found one at position (1, 4) and t

myrzilka [38]

Given:

Positions of two artifacts are at points (1, 4) and (5, 2).

To find:

The distance between these two artifacts.

Solution:

Distance formula: The distance between two points is

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

Using distance formula, the distance between two points (1, 4) and (5, 2) is

$d=\sqrt{(5-1)^2+(2-4)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{(4)^2+(-2)^2}$

$d=\sqrt{16+4}$

$d=\sqrt{20}$

$d=4.4721359$

Round to the nearest tenth of a unit.

$d\approx 4.5$

Therefore, the distance between two artifacts is 4.5 units.

The desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement is 5.5. To test whether the true average percentage is 5.5

Ket [755]

Answer:

since p value < x(0.05) so we reject the null hypothesis

step 5 ( conclusion)

reject the null hypothesis and there is sufficient evidence to support the claim that the true average percentage differs from 5.5.
