A and b are both accurate
For a:

which is true
For b:

which is also true
First, find the mean. You'll need it to compute the variance.

The variance of the sample is then computed with the formula

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, so
Answer: see below
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Write each equation in y = mx + b format where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Left side: -4 ≤ x < -1
If you continue the line through the y-axis it will pass through (0, 4) --> b = 4
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (4) --> y = -x + 4
Right side: -1 < x < 4
The line passes through (0,0) --> b = 0.
The rise over run is -1 over 1 --> m = -1
y = (-1)x + (0) --> y = -x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We were given the slope formula;

This line is vertical if the denominator is zero.
That is when 
This implies that;

Justification;
When
, then, the line passes through;
and 
The slope now become

The equation of the line is

This implies that;




... This is the equation of a vertical line.
The answer is 9, to find it just do inverse and in this case that is 12-3 and u should always get the answer
