You can find the slope either by just looking at the line or using the slope formula.
#1: The slope formula is:
Find two points and plug it into the formula
I will use (0, 2) and (1, -1)
(0, 2) = (x₁, y₁)
(1, -1) = (x₂, y₂)
[two negatives cancel each other out and become positive]
m = -3
#2: To find the slope without having to do the work, you use this:
Rise is the number of units you go up(+) or down(-) from each point
Run is the number of units you go to the right from each point
If we start at a defined/obvious point, like (0, 2), find the next point and see how many units it goes up or down and to the right. The next point is (1, -1), so from each point, you go down 3 units and to the right 1 unit. So your slope is -3/1 or -3. You can make sure the slope is right by looking at another point.
Answer: a. It is commonly referred to as the arithmetic average.
b. It is algebraically defined (that is, there is an equation you can use to calculate its value).
c. It is easily influenced by extreme scores.
Step-by-step explanation:
The mean is also referred to as the "average" and it is gotten by adding every number and the dividing the value gotten by the number of the numbers used for the calculation.
It should be noted that the mean is algebraically defined and can be easily influenced by extreme scores.
You didn't provide more information regarding triangle but from given options, it seems that triangle has ratio from shortest side to longest side would be 5 : 12 : 13
So 13 would be hypotenuse since it is longest.
Now A cannot be right angle because tangent is not defined at 90°.
Also tan(A) would be ratio of opponent side to adjacent side (think SOH CAH TOA)
So either opposite side would be 5 or 12, and adjacent side would be 12 or 5 respectively.
So the answer is either 5 / 12 or 12 / 5 but only option provided is 12/5 so that would be your answer.
Final answer: 12 / 5
