Answer:

$\frac{11}{2}$ or 5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the slope of a line using two points on a graph, you must use

$y_2-y_1/x_2-x_1$

Pluging in the points (-4,7) and (-6, -4) to the formula you will get:

$\frac{-4-7}{-6+4} =\frac{-11}{-2} =5.5$

The equation for the line would be $\frac{11}{2}$ x+29

Arrange the systems of equations that have a single solution in Increasing order of the x-values in their solutions.

NemiM [27]

Complete question is;

Arrange the systems of equations that have a single solution in Increasing order of the x-values in their solutions.

1) 2x + y = 10

x - 3y = -2

2) x + 2y = 5

2x + y = 4

3) x + 3y = 5

6x - y = 11

4) 2x + y = 10

-6x - 3y = -2

Answer:

Arranging the systems in increasing value of x gives;

System 2, system 3, system 1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 2x + y = 10 - - - (eq 1)

x - 3y = -2 - - - (eq 2)

Multiply eq 1 by 3 to get;

6x + 3y = 30

Add it to eq 2 to get;

7x = 28

x = 28/7

x = 4

2) x + 2y = 5 - - - (eq 1)

2x + y = 4 - - - (eq 2)

Multiply eq 2 by 2 to get;

4x + 2y = 8

Subtract eq 1 from it to get;

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

3) x + 3y = 5 - - - (eq 1)

6x - y = 11 - - - (eq 2)

Multiply eq 2 by 3 to get;

18x - 3y = 33

Add to eq(1) to get;

19x = 38

x = 38/19

x = 2

4) 2x + y = 10 - - - (eq 1)

-6x - 3y = -2 - - - (eq 2)

Make y the subject in eq 1 to get;

y = 10 - 2x

Put in eq (2);

-6x - 3(10 - 2x) = -2

-6x - 30 + 6x = -2

0 = 0

Thus,no solution exists.

Arranging the systems in increasing value of x gives;

System 2, system 3, system 1

M is the incenter of triangle ABC. Find the lengths of MD and DC. (Look at pic)

Deffense [45]

Answer:

Part 1) $MD=9\ units$

Part 2) $DC=12\ units$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the length of MD

we know that

The incenter is the intersection of the angle bisectors of the three vertices of the triangle. Is the point forming the origin of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

In this problem

$MD=ME=MF$ ------> is the radius of a circle inscribed inside the triangle

we have that

$MF=9\ units$

therefore

$ME=9\ units$

$MD=9\ units$

Step 2

Find the length of DC

we know that

In the right triangle MDC

Applying the Pythagoras theorem

$MC^{2} =MD^{2}+DC^{2}$

we have

$MD=9\ units$

$MC=15\ units$

substitute

$15^{2} =9^{2}+DC^{2}$

$DC^{2}=225-81$

$DC=\sqrt{144}\ units$

$DC=12\ units$

A researcher determines that students are active about 60 + 12 (M + SD) minutes per day. Assuming these data are normally distri

rjkz [21]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Step-by-step explanation:

If X $\sim$ N (µ, σ²), then $Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$ , is a standard normal variate with mean, E (Z) = 0 and Var (Z) = 1. That is, Z $\sim$ N (0, 1).

The distribution of these z-variate is known as the standard normal distribution.

The mean and standard deviation of the active minutes of students is:

μ = 60 minutes

σ = 12 minutes

Compute the z-score for the student being active 48 minutes as follows:

$Z=\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}=\frac{48-60}{12}=\frac{-12}{12}=-1.0$

Thus, the z-score for the student being active 48 minutes is -1.0.

The correct option is (b).
