Point 1: (-3, 7)

Point 2: (-17, 3)

To find the slope, we need to use the slope formula which is as follows: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). We will plug in each x and y coordinate from our points above, respectively.

m = (3 - 7) / (-17 - - 3)

m = (-4) / (-14)

m = 2/7

The slope of the line that goes through (-3, 7) and (-17, 3) is 2/7.

Hope this helps!! :)

The domain is ? The range is ?

DIA [1.3K]

This is a quadratic equation, which is also a polynomial. Polynomials all have the domain (-infinity, +infinity).

As for the range: You can see from the graph that the smallest y-value is -2. Thus, the range is [-2, infinity).

What conditions must hold for a probability distribution to be acceptable?

VashaNatasha [74]

A distribution of probabilities is a numerical means of describing all unique combinations and the probabilities for a provided random variable, and the further discussion can be defined as follows:

The distributions mean (average), basic difference, skewness, as well as courtesies, are among such factors.
A formula, table, or chart can show a probability distribution for discrete probability distribution X that providing $\bold{p(x) = P(X=x)}$ for all x.
For just a discrete random variable, the probability assigns annual probabilities with only a countless multitude of unique x values.
Each result is likely to be between 0 and 1, including.
