Answer:

n= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the equation of line which passes through (6,3) and (8,4).

Then we have to pass this line through the point (n , -2).

we know, equation of line passing through (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

\frac{x-x1}{x1-x2}=\frac{y-y1}{y1-y2}

So, the equation of line passing through (6,3) and (8,4) is

\frac{x-6}{6-8}=\frac{y-3}{3-4}

or, \frac{x-6}{-2} =\frac{y-3}{-1}

multiplying both sides by  -2

x-6=2(y-3)

or, x-6=2y-6

or, x-2y=6-6

or, x-2y=0


Now, we have to pass this line through  (n,-2)

So, using the point in the line, that is using  x=n  , y=-2

we get

n-2(-2)=0

or, n+4=0

or, n=-4

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the line passes through

(6,3), (8,4), and (n,-2).

We have to find the value of n.

Let us name the points as A, B and C in that order

Slope of AB = slope of BC since all 3 points lie in the same line

To find slope of AB:

Slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) = (4-3)/(8-6) = 1/2

To find slope of BC:

Using the same formula slope = (-2-4)/(n-8) = -6/(n-8)

The two slopes are equal.

Hence 1/2 = -6/(n-8)

n-8 = -12

n = -4

Which of the following transformations maps A to A’ in the figure below
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The answer is rotation 270° about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

If (x , y) is a point in xy-coordinates

If the point rotate about the origin ⇒ (The positive direction is anti-clockwise)

1- 90°

  Its image is (-y , x)

2- 180°

   Its image is (-x , -y)

3- 270°

   Its image is (y , -x)

If we assume A is (1 , 7)

1- ⇒ (-7 , 1) ⇒ rotation 90° about the origin

2- ⇒ (-1 , -7) ⇒ rotation 180° about the origin

3- ⇒ (7 , -1) ⇒ rotation 270° about the origin

∵ x-coordinate of point A small and +ve and y-coordinate large and +ve

∵ x-coordinate of point A' large and +ve and y-coordinate small and -ve

∴ The answer is rotation 270° about the origin

∴ The answer is rotation 270° about the origin

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a. use a computer program to select the locations have a rewards program and those that don't.

Step-by-step explanation:

Randomization refers to an important statistical procedure used to eliminate bias in a study. With randomization, all subjects in the study possess equal chances of being selected. In the study scenario described above, randomly choosing half of their total location to partake in the reward program would involve the use of a technique which isn't liable of introducing bias into the study either deliberately or systematically. The use of store managers or other human in the selection process won't be totally convincing at preventing bias. Hence, a computer program will do.
