What is the slope if the line that passes through the pair of points (-5.5, 6.1) (-2.5, 3.1)

Mathematics

The slope is the change in y-values divided by the change in x-values:

y1 - y2 / x1 - x2

6.1 - 3.1 / -5.5 - (-2.5)
3 / -5.5 + 2.5
3 / -3
-1

Answer:
-1

Hope this helps.

PLEASE HELP! I have a deadline tonight ,I have to get this done! thank you!!<br> Two questions (:
Viktor [21]
Both of your answers are correct. In the first equation, if you were to substitute 3 for x, because you have to do exponents first, you have 3^2, which is 9, and 9*6 =54. If you were to substitute -3 for x again you would have to do the exponents first which would be -3^2 which is 9, and 9*6 = 54. 

For the second question, if I substitute 0.75 for t, I get -9 + 18 + 7. This is equal to 16, and therefore the answer would be D. Hope this helps! :D. Let me know if you have questions about my explanation, and feel free to post more questions.

Determine whether the samples are independent or dependent.
dybincka [34]

Answer: Option(D) is the correct option

Explanation:

Natural pairings defines coupling of data sets or sample is possible to take place in a particular condition naturally.These samples depend on each other for matching.

According to the question ,cholesterol level of 90 men is being assessed  prior and after treatment takes place.Thus,same 90 men are going through drug testing in natural pair form and showing sample dependency before and afterwards of treatment.Thus, further analysis is based upon natural paired data.

Other options are incorrect because sample in the question are not independent due to the link between them and they do persist natural pairing with each other.Thus, the correct option is option(D).

If x = 7, find the value of<br> a) x2<br> b) (x + 3)*2
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

a) 49

b) 100 (I'm assuming that the 2 was supposed to be a square)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value in for x (the value being 7):

7² = 49

(7 + 3)² = (10)² = 100

Factor the following problems SHOW YOUR WORK<br> 1. x^2+16x+24<br> 2. x^2-10a+25
nalin [4]
<span>x^2+16x+24:  Think:  What are the integer factors of 24?  I'd list 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24.  Next:   Look for a pair of factors from that list that: 

(1)ADD up to 16 AND (2) whose product is 24.  Unfortunately there seems to be no such pair from the above list.

So:  Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of </span>x^2+16x+24:

        -16 plus or minus sqrt[ 256-4(1)(24) ]
x = --------------------------------------------------
                                  2
          -16 plus or minus sqrt(160)       -16 plus or minus 4 sqrt(10)
    = --------------------------------------- = ----------------------------------------
                                   2                                               2
           2(-8 plus or minus 2 sqrt(10) )
     = ------------------------------------------- = -8 plus or minus 2sqrt(10)
                                2

If c is a root, (x-c) is a factor.  Thus, if -8 plus 2sqrt(10) is a root,

(x+8-2sqrt(10) is a factor.  Can you find the other factor?


x^2-10a+25 is much easier to factor.  The sqrt of 25 is 5, so try x= -5 as a root.  Dividing x-5 into <span>x^2-10a+25, we get x-5.  Therefore, the factors are

(x-5) and (x-5).</span>
