The formula of a slope:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

We have the points (-6, -1) and (-6, 4).

Substitute:

$m=\dfrac{4-(-1)}{-6-(-6)}=\dfrac{4+1}{-6+6}=\dfrac{5}{6}\ !!!$

Dividing by 0 is not possible, therefore the slope is undefined.

It's a vertical line x = -6.

Answer:

a, b, c --- all not representative

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed by the engineer is "are residents of the city in favor of ...".

The only representative sample is one from a pool that includes all residents of the city—not just those who (a) use the road, (b) live along the road, or (c) own homes.

Additional comment

The engineer may want to refine the question. As posed, it would include children, homeless, and/or institutionalized residents of the city as well as drivers and tax-payers. In inclusive cultural traditions, "residents of the city" may also include animals, plants, water, air, and other holders of spiritual energy.

For a resistor in a direct current circuit that does not vary its resistance, the power that a resistor must dissipate is direct

Mrrafil [7]

THe problem is basically telling us: $P=kV^2$

where P is the power disappated and V^2 is our voltage squared.

$\frac{1}{16}=k*14^2\implies\\ \frac{1}{16*196}=k \implies \\ \frac{1}{3136}=k$

So, for the second example to find the power we simply have to plug k and our voltage back in, so: $P=\frac{14^2*3^2}{14^2*6} \implies \\ P=\frac{9}{6}= \frac{3}{2}$
