Deductive reasoning is what is proven and what you already know for sure. Example: there are 2 ants. There is 1 ant next to the 2. There are 3 ants total. (Rules of addition)

So you don't have to solve any problems to use deductive reasoning, unlike inductive reasoning, which is not proven
Example of inductive reasoning: there are lots of girls in my class. So there are probably lots of girls in the other classes too. You don't know that for sure.

Find the gradient of the line segement between the points (0,-6) and (2,-16)
yulyashka [42]

answer = 5

Slope, sometimes referred to as gradient in mathematics, is a number that measures the steepness and direction of a line, or a section of a line connecting two points, and is usually denoted by m. Generally, a line's steepness is measured by the absolute value of its slope, m. The larger the value is, the steeper the line. Given m, it is possible to determine the direction of the line that m describes based on its sign and value:

A line is increasing, and goes upwards from left to right when m > 0

A line is decreasing, and goes downwards from left to right when m < 0

A line has a constant slope, and is horizontal when m = 0

A vertical line has an undefined slope, since it would result in a fraction with 0 as the denominator. Refer to the equation provided below.

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m =

y2 - y1

x2 - x1

A bag contains 8 blue marbles, 6 green marbles, 12 yellow marbles, and 10 orange marbles. A marble is drawn at random from the b
VladimirAG [237]
Total Marbles = 8 + 6 + 12 + 10 = 36

Probability the marble is blue = 8/36

Inverse this to get the probability of the marble not being blue

Probability of the marble not being blue = 28/36 = 7/9
