$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 8}}\quad ,&{{ 8}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 12}}\quad ,&{{ 6}})
\end{array}
\\\quad \\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{6-8}{12-8}$

Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
m= 6-8/12-8
slope (m) = -1/2

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 122$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 122$

The test statistics is $t = - 1.761$

The p-value is $p = P(Z < t ) = 0.039119$

$p \ge 0.01$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The population mean is $\mu = 122$

The sample size is n= 38

The sample mean is $\= x = 116 \ feet$

The standard deviation is $\sigma = 21$

Generally the null hypothesis is $H_o : \mu = 122$

the alternative hypothesis is $H_a : \mu \ne 122$

Generally the test statistics is mathematically evaluated as

$t = \frac { \= x - \mu }{\frac{ \sigma }{ \sqrt{n} } }$

substituting values

$t = \frac { 116 - 122 }{\frac{ 21 }{ \sqrt{ 38} } }$

$t = - 1.761$

The p-value is mathematically represented as

$p = P(Z < t )$

From the z- table

$p = P(Z < t ) = 0.039119$

$p \ge 0.01$

Tell whether each scale reduces enlarges or preserves the size of an actual object

mr_godi [17]

Given:

1 m : 25 cm

8 in : 1 ft

12 in : 1 ft

First, we convert each variable given on the right:

1 m : 0.25 m (this means that 1 meter is made to represent 25 cm)

8 in : 12 feet (this means that 8 in is made to represent 1 feet)

12 in : 12 in (this means that 12 in is made to represent 1 feet)

After converting the variables, we can now know if the ratios are enlargement, reduction or preservation. Therefore:

1 m : 25 cm = Enlarge

8 in : 12 feet = Reduce
12 in = 1 ft = Preserve

What is DE ? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box. ____ units

Fantom [35]

6.3 Looking at the triangle, you can see that point D bisects line segment AB and that point E bisects line segment BC. In fact, you can easily determine that triangles ABC and DBE are similar triangles with DBE having sides that are half the length of the respective sides in ABC. And since line segment DE corresponds to line segment AC which is 12.6 units long, line segment DE is 12.6/2 = 6.3 units long.
