Something is wrong here, the slope is off...

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(1-3)/(12--4)

m=-2/16

m=-1/8

So the point slope form should be:

y-1=(-1/8)(x-12)

The standard form of the line is ax+by=c so we need to rearrange it to reflect the this form...multiply both sides by -8 to get:

8-8y=x-12  subtract 8 from both sides

-8y=x-20  subtract x from both sides

-x-8y=-20  by convention, the coefficient of x should be positive, multiply both sides by -1

x+8y=20

....

Just to show that the equation given you is incorrect..

y-1=(x-12)/4  using the point (-4,3)

3-1=(-4-12)/4

2=-16/4

2=-4  which is obviously incorrect...(they had the wrong slope for the two points given)

Can anybody help me please I'm stuck with this question.

Answer: 18 units

Step-by-step explanation:since its is a horizontal line x2 - x1

7 -1 = 6

line 2:

since this is a vertical line y2 - y1

7 - 3 = 4

line 3:

since this is a horizontal line x2 - x1

7 - 4 = 3

line 4:

for this we need to use the distance formula which allows us to find the distance making a third point to form a right angle triangle

point 1: (1,3)

point 2: (4,7)

point 3 (new point) : (4,3)

now we can apply the pythogorean thereum (C squared = B squared + A squared) with the following lines.

line 1: (1,3) - (4,7)

line 2: (1,3) - (4,3)

line 3: (4,3) - (4,7)

line 1 squared = line2 squared + line 3 squared

calculate length of line 2 and 3

line 1 squared = (4 - 1) squared + (7 - 3) squared

line 1 squared = 3 squared + 4 squared

line 1 squared = 9 + 16

line 1 squared = 25

root both sides

line 1 = 5

add all the liens together

6 + 4 + 3 + 5 = 18

Andrews [41]
138 is the outlier since it is more than 1.5 * IQR past the third quartile of the data set.

With this upper outlier, the mean will be significantly higher. Without it, it will lower back down, so B is your answer
