Answer:

$\frac {1}{4}$ is slope for line D

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the slope of the line D

Flip the sign on Line C

-4 was previous

4 is new

Convert to reciprocal

4 was previous

1/4 is new

Answer: $\frac {1}{4}$ is slope for line D

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the steepness of a line.

The slope of a perpendicular line is always the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line it is perpendicular with.

Since line C has a slope of -4, the negative reciprocal of that is 1/4.

Reciprocals are two numbers that multiply together to get 1.

For example, -1/4*-4/1=1

Therefore the negative recipricol is 1/4

Let the sample be 11, 3, 4, 3, 5, 7, 8, 12. What is the range of the sample?

grin007 [14]

Solution

- The Range of a dataset is simply the difference between the largest number and the smallest number in the dataset.

- In the dataset given, the largest number is 12 while the smallest number is 3.

- Thus, the Range of the dataset is

$12-3=9$

Range = 9

If a/\2+1/a/\2=11, then a+1/a=?

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

$\pm \sqrt{13}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = {a}^{2} + \frac{1}{ {a}^{2} } + 2 \times a \times \frac{1}{a} \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = 11 + 2 \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg)^{2} = 13 \\ \\ \bigg(a + \frac{1}{a} \bigg) = \pm \sqrt{13}$

Jackson played a video game for 1/6 for hour. Hailey played a video game for 1/3 hour. Who played the video game for a greater a

viva [34]

Answer:

hailey played the game longer (1/3 hour).

Step-by-step explanation:

You are deciding which is greater: 1/6 or 1/3.in this case, a smaller denominator (such as 3) produces a greater value.1/3 has a smaller denom. than does 1/6, so 1/3 is greater than 1/6.hailey played the game longer (1/3 hour).
