Which proportion can be used to show that the slope of JL is equal to the slope of MP
Ilya [14]

Answer:

See below and attached

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>As per the graph we have:</u>

  • Coordinates of JL are J(-7, 4), L(-4, 0)
  • Coordinates of MP are M(-10, 8), P(-1, -4)

<u>Slope formula is:</u>

  • m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

<u>Slope of JL:</u>

  • (0 - 4)/(-4-(-7)) = - 4 / 3

<u>Slope of MP:</u>

  • (-4 -8)/(-1- (-10)) = -12 / 9 = - 4/3

In the data set below, what is the interquartile range?<br> 7<br> 1<br> 5<br> 5<br> 9<br> Submit
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile.

First find the median.

The median is the middle value of the data set arranged in ascending order

1  5  5  7  9 ← data in ascending order

       ↑ median

The lower quartile is the middle value of the data to the left of the median. If there is not an exact middle then it the average of the values on either side of the middle.

1  5

 ↑ lower quartile = \frac{1+5}{2} = 3

The upper quartile is the middle value of the data to the right of the median.

7  9

 ↑ upper quartile = \frac{7+9}{2} = 8

Thus

interquartile range = 8 - 3 = 5
