Answer:

slope = \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the slope m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (5, 4)

m = \frac{4-2}{5-1} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}

Answer:

\frac{1}{2} , or the first option

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to find the slope of a line is \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}. It doesn't matter which set of coordinates is (x₁,y₁), as long as you make sure you put them in the right places.

(x₁,y₁) = (1,2)

(x₂,y₂) = (5,4)

\frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}   Plug in your numbers

\frac{4 - 2}{5 - 1}   Simplify

\frac{2}{4}   Simplify

\frac{1}{2}

1. Over the six months what was the average market price per share?
lozanna [386]
A) The average market price is (12 + 8 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 8) / 6 = $10.83

b) The total amount spent was: 12*8 + 8*12 + 10*10 + 13*7 + 14*7 + 8*12 = $577. The total number of shares was: 8 + 12 + 10 + 7 + 7 + 12 = 56. Therefore the average price per share was $577 / 56 shares = $10.30/share.
c) Since the cost per share in June was $12, and her average cost was $10.30, dollar-cost averaging worked in her favor since her average cost was lower.

How can the average rate of change be found using a discrete graph?
nekit [7.7K]
In general, the average rate of change of f (x) on the interval a, b is given by f(b) – f(a) / b – a. The average rate of alteration of a function, f (x) on an interval is well-defined to be the variance of the function values at the endpoints of the interim divided by the difference in the x values at the endpoints of the interval. this is also known as the difference quotient that tells how on average, the y values of a function are changing in connection to variations in the x values. A positive or negative rate of change is applicable which match up to an increase or decrease in the y value among the two data points. It is called zero rate of change when a quantity does not change over time.

Given that <br><img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=2%20%7B%7D%5E%7Bx%7D%20%20%3D%200.125" id="TexFormula1" title="2 {}^{x} = 0.12
Luda [366]
Take the natural log of both sides

ln(2^x)=ln(.125)
Xln(2)=ln(.125)
X=ln(.125)/ln(2)
X=-3

ALTERNATIVE ROUTE:
You know that 0.125 is equal to 1/8
And 1/2^3 is also equal to 1/8
So since you need the reciprocal to match it the exponent is a negative
