Well,

Slope-intercept form is given as follows:
y = mx + b

In this equation, "m" is the slope, and "b" is the y-intercept.

y = 12x + 7

We can clearly see that the 12 in the equation is the "m" in the general slope-intercept form.

Therefore, the slope of the equation is 12.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that a function has its critical points where the derivative equal zero. Therefore we need to compute the derivative of this function and find the points where the derivative is zero. Using the chain rule and the product rule we get that

$f'(x)= -e^{-4x}(11+4x)$

And then we get that if $11+4x = 0$ then $x = -11/4$ . So it has a critical point at $x = -11/4$ .

Now, if the second derivative evaluated at that point is less than 0 then the point is a maximum and if is greater than zero the point is a minimum.

Since

$f''(x) = 8e^{-4x} (5+2x)\\f''(-11/4) = -239496.56$

x= -11/4 is a maximum.

The median is not affected by the existence of an outlier true or false

REY [17]

True.

The median is the middle number when all numbers are placed in order, and so an outlier will not affect the median.

It well however affect the range and mean
