Answer:

-7/4.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is  the difference in the y coordinates  / corresponding difference in the x coordinates.

here it is (16 - 9) / (-3-1)

= 7 / -4

= -7/4.

For this case we have that by definition, the slope of a line is given by:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}}

Where:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) and(x_ {2}, y_ {2})are two points through which the line passes.

We have as data that:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}) :( 1,9)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 3,16)

Substituting we have:

m = \frac {16-9} {- 3-1} = \frac {7} {- 4} = - \frac {7} {4}

Thus, the slope of the line is- \frac {7} {4}

Answer:

m = - \frac {7} {4}

maria [59]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

Step-by-step explanation:

The null hypothesis (H0) tries to show that no significant variation exists between variables or that a single variable is no different than its mean. While an alternative Hypothesis (Ha) attempt to prove that a new theory is true rather than the old one. That a variable is significantly different from the mean.

For the case above, let μ represent the average test scores for the teaching methods:

The null hypothesis is that all the different teaching methods have the same average test scores.

H0: μ1 = μ2 = μ3 = μ4 = μ5

The alternative hypothesis is that at least one of the teaching methods have a different mean.

Ha: at least one mean is different. (μ1 ≠ μi)

The value of a professional basketball player's autograph rose 30% in the last year. It is now worth $273.00. What was it worth
serg [7]
$210
because if it rose 30%, it's now 130% of what is used to be
or (what it used to be) ×1.3
so do the reverse and divide the new cost by 1.3
so 273÷1.3 which is 210
