<span>What is the slope of the line that is parallel to the y-axis and passes through the point (–1, 5)?

check the picture below.

the y-axis is a vertical line, thus any line parallel to it, will also be a vertical line, so, let's pick another point, hmmmmm say -1, 3, thus

</span> $\bf \begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&&(~ -1 &,& 5~) 
% (c,d)
&&(~ -1 &,& 3~)
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = m\implies 
\cfrac{\stackrel{rise}{ y_2- y_1}}{\stackrel{run}{ x_2- x_1}}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1-(-1)}\implies \cfrac{3-5}{-1+1}\implies \stackrel{und efined}{\cfrac{-2}{0}}$ <span>

The table below shows the number of cups of coffee people drink a day

Effectus [21]

The mean of a distribution is the sum of the data elements divided by the count of the dataset.

<em>The mean of the distribution is 4</em>

The complete table is given as

$\left[\begin{array}{cc}People & Frequency &0 - 2 & 5 & 3 - 5 & 25 & 6 - 8 & 5\end{array}\right]$

The complete question requires that, we calculate the mean of the dataset

First, we calculate the class midpoint

This is the average of the class interval

<u />

<u>For interval 0 - 2, </u>

$x_1 = \frac{0 + 2}{2} = 1$

<u>For interval 3 - 5,</u>

$x_2 = \frac{3 + 5}{2} = 4$

<u>For interval 6 - 8</u>

$x_3 = \frac{6 + 8}{2} = 7$

So, the table becomes

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}People & x & Frequency &0 - 2 &1 & 5 & 3 - 5 & 4& 25 & 6 - 8& 7 & 5\end{array}\right]$

The mean is then calculated as:

$\bar x = \frac{\sum fx}{\sum f }$

This gives

$\bar x = \frac{5 \times 1 + 25 \times 4 + 5 \times 7}{5 + 25 + 5}$

$\bar x = \frac{140}{35}$

$\bar x = 4$

Hence, the mean of the distribution is 4

Which ratios approximate pi ()?

kramer

9514 1404 393

Answer:

A: 66/21

E: 22/7

Step-by-step explanation:

The offered choices reduce to 3 1/7 or to 3. The best approximations of those given are the ones that reduce to 3 1/7.

A: 66/21 = 22/7 = 3 1/7

B: 60/20 = 3

C: 21/7 = 3

D: 45/15 = 3

E: 22/7 = 3 1/7

___

<em>Comment on pi approximations</em>

The ratio 22/7 differs from π by about 0.04%. A better approximation is 355/113, which differs from π by about 0.000008%. The approximation 3.14 differs from π by about 0.05%.
