Answer:
<em>A. The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 1/2 the slope formed by ΔCDE</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Find the diagram attached.
Slope is the change in y coordinates tom that of x coordinate of a line.
Slope = Δy/Δx
Slope = y2-y1/x2-x1
For ΔABC,
A(-3, 6) and C = (-1, 3)
Slope = 3-6/-1-(-3)
Slope = -3/-1+3
Slope = -3/2
Slope of line AC is -3/2
For ΔCDE,
C = (-1, 3) and E = (3, -3)
Slope = -3-3/3-1
Slope = -6/2
Slope = -3
Slope of line CE is -3
From the calculation above, it can be seen that Slope of ΔABC = 1/2(slope of ΔCDE)
-3/2 = 1/2 (-3)
-3/2 = -3/2
<em>Hence the correct option is A. The slope formed by ΔABC has a value that is 1/2 the slope formed by ΔCDE</em>

Step-by-step explanation:
Given claim : From the time shoots are planted 90 days on average are required to obtain the first berry.
. The sample mean is 92.3 days. The corporation wants to know if the mean number of days is different from the 90 days claimed.
As we know that the null hypotheses shows there is no statistical difference between the groups but the alternative hypothesis is opposite to it, it shows there is difference.
Thus , the correct hypotheses will be :-
Answer:
<h2>x = 12</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
First of all multiply through by 5 to eliminate the fraction
That's
Next using the addition property add 4 to both sides of the equation
We have
<u>Divide both sides by 2</u>
We have the final answer as
<h3>x = 12</h3>Hope this helps you
