Answer:

The new slope is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of any two points can be found by:

$slope=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Finding slope of (3,7) (4,9)

$slope=\frac{9-7}{4-3}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

Finding slope of (4,9) (5,11)

$slope=\frac{11-9}{5-4}\\slope=\frac{2}{1}\\slope=2$

So, the slope of the line is 2

Now if slope is divided by 2, new slope will be:

$slope = \frac{2}{2}\\slope=1$

So, The new slope is 1

If a card is picked at random from a standard 52-card deck, what is the probability of getting a spade or a 8

g100num [7]

Answer:

1/4, 25%, or 0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Therefore, as each suit contains 13 cards, and the deck is split up into 4 suits, that leaves us with a 13/52 chance to pick a spade.

That fraction is equivalent to 1/4, so that leaves us with a probability of picking a spade at:

1/4, 25%, or 0.25

find the perimeter and diagonal of a square whose area is equal to the area of a rectangle whose length is 9m and breadth is 4m

aalyn [17]

$Area\ of\ a\ rectangle:A_{\fbox{ }}=9m\times4m=36m^2\\\\a-side\ of\ a\ square\\\\Area\ of\ a\ square:A_{\fbox{}}=a^2\\\\A_{\fbox{ }}=A_{\fbox{}}\Rightarrow a^2=36m^2\Rightarrow a=\sqrt{36m^2}\Rightarrow a=6m\\\\Perimeter\ of\ the\ square:P=4a\Rightarrow P=4\times6m=\boxed{24m}\\\\Diagonal\ of\ the\ square:d=a\sqrt2\Rightarrow d=\boxed{6\sqrt2\ m}$

On Monday, a museum had 150 visitors. On Tuesday, its had 260 visitors.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

%change=100(final-initial)/initial

%change=100(260-150)/150

%change=220/3%. (roughly 73.33%)

260(1+220/300)

260(520/300)

451 (rounded to nearest whole person)
