Answer:

Slope tells you about the steepness of a line. It can is the ration of vertical change to horizontal change and you can solve this by using the slope formula:

a. So in your case, starting from the bottom, the slope is:

If you want to use coordinates, you can think of the first point (bottom of the stairs} would be at the point of origin (0,0). The next point would be at the top of the first stair 13 inches wide (horizontal or x) and 8 inches high (vertical or y)

So the coordinates of the two points would be:

(0,0) and (13, 8)

Using the formula we would have:

b. Looking at the answer above, you can see that the slope with increase if the vertical change is greater, so if you increase the height of the stairs, the stair would be steeper. The opposite is true if you would increase the width.

However, if you proportionally increase the width and the height, then the slope will remain the same.

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

(a) The value of x is 0.30.

(b) The probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

Step-by-step explanation:

Denote the events as follows:

R = reported case of rabies is a raccoon

F = reported case of rabies is a fox

B = reported case of rabies is a bat

O = reported case of rabies is a some other animal.

The data provided is:

P (R) = 0.55

P (F) = 0.11

P (B) = 0.04

P (O) = x.

(a)

A property of a probability distribution is that the sum of all individual properties is 1.

That is, $\sum P(X)=1$

Compute the value of x as follows:

$\sum P(X)=1\\P(R)+P(F)+P(B)+P(O)=1\\0.55+0.11+0.04+x=1\\0.70+x=1\\x=1-0.70\\x=0.30$

Thus, the value of x is 0.30.

(b)

The probability of the complement of an event is the probability of its not happening.

$P(A^{c})=1-P(A)$

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon as follows:

$P(R^{c})=1-P(R)\\=1-0.55\\=0.45$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is not a raccoon is 0.45.

(c)

Compute the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox as follows:

$P(B\cup F)=P(B)+P(F)\\=0.11+0.04\\=0.15$

Thus, the probability that a reported case of rabies is either a bat or a fox is 0.15.

Answer:

n = 2b + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

4 years older = +4

2 times his brother = 2b

8.25 × 10–4 in standard form.

Elanso [62]

The 10^-4 means that the decimal point is 4 places to the left of where it is in 8.25 (if the exponent was positive the decimal point would be to the right). If you move the decimal point 4 places to the left you get an answer of 0.000825 which is 8.25 * 10^-4 in standard form.

Answer:

C' (-4 , 2)

slope of new line = line "L" = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

C (x₀,y₀): (0,2) dilation center (h,k): (2,2) scale factor (sf): 3

C' (x,y)

x = 2 + 3*(0-2) = -4 x = h + sf*(x₀ - h)

y = 2 + 3*(2-2) = 2 y = k + sf*(y₀ - k)
