What is the slope of a trend line that passes through the points (5, 80) and (7, 65)?
2 answers:
The slope of a trend line that passes through the points (5, 80) and (7, 65) is -7.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the line is passing through two points (x1, y1) and (X2, y2). The slope (m) can be calculated using following formula.
In this case,
x1 = 5
x2 = 7
y1 = 80
y2 = 65
By putting the values in formula, we get
or
m = -7.5
Therefore, the slope of a trend line that passes through the points (5, 80) and (7, 65) is -7.5.

I think you need brackets to clarify what you mean. I think it should be written as
10b/(2b + 8)
If that is the case the reciprocal is
(2b + 8)/10b You just turn everything up side down. There are technical ways of doing this, but the easiest way is just to do what I just did.
Put the numerator in the denominator,
Put the denominator in the numerator.
You could simplify this a bit.
2b/10b + 8/10b
which reduces further.
1/5 + 4/5b
Just to make sure you understand where that b is, I will do this in
Latex.
Alternate answer
If you do mean what your wrote then the reciprocal is 2b / 10b + 8 which is 1/5 + 8 = 8 + 0.2 = 8.2
The 8 has nothing to do with the reciprocal under these conditions.
The answer
I have given you all the choices I can think of without going into decimals. If you have choices, please list them under the comments.
