Answer: m=-1.714

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, the slope of the line is described as "Rate of change".

You need to use the following formula to calcualte the slope of the line;

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this case you know that the line passes through these two points: (8, -10) and (-6, 14).

Then, you can say that:

y_2=-10\\y_1=14\\\\x_2=8\\x_1=-6

Knowing these values, you can substitute them into the formula for calculate the slope of a line:

 m=\frac{-10-14}{8-(-6)}

Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the slope of this line. You get that this is:

m=\frac{-24}{8+6}\\\\m=\frac{-24}{14}\\\\m=-\frac{12}{7}\\\\m=-1.714

To avoid detection at customs, a traveler places 6 narcotic tablets in a bottle containing 9 vitamin tablets that are similar in
Olenka [21]
The probability is 0.3, or 30%.

These are not independent events; one pill being chosen will affect the probability after that, as the pill will not be replaced before selecting the next one.

The probability of getting exactly 1 narcotic pill is given by:
(6/15)(9/14)(8/13) = 432/2730.  It does not matter what order the narcotic pill is in, the overall product will be the same.

The probability of getting exactly 2 narcotic pills is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(9/13) = 270/2730.  Again, the order these are found in does not matter, as it is multiplication and will not change the product.

The probability of all 3 pills being narcotics is given by:
(6/15)(5/14)(4/13) = 120/2730.

Adding these three possibilities together, we have 822/2730 = 0.30.

Answer:

28 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of the years of Lance , Ted, Rosalinda = 39 + 22 +45 = 106 year

Sum of the years of Lance , Ted, Rosalinda & Erik = 33.5*4 = 134.0 year

Age of Erik = 134 - 106 = 28 years

Which table shows no correlation?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Instead of adding 6 three times, you can multiply 6 by 3 and get 18, the same answer.

Similarly,

6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 6 × 7 = 42
