Answer:

-9/11

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is given by

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

   = (9-0)/(-3-8)

  = 9/-11

  = -9/11

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to remember what a slope is. This math concept is attached to lines or linear functions which graph is a line. So, a concept that defines lines is its inclination, which is called in math as Slope. So, basically, the slope refers to the amount of inclination of an specific line or linear function, which can be calculated with this equation: m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{2}  }

In this case, x_{1} y_{1} refers to the coordinates of the first point: (8,0)

And, x_{2} y_{2} refers to the coordinates of the second point (-3,9)

So, applying all to the equation to find the slope:

m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1} }{x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{9-0}{-3-8} = \frac{9}{-11}

Hence, the slope is m = -\frac{9}{11}

A stone is thrown vertically upward from a platform that is 20 feet high at a rate of 160 ft/sec. Using the quadratic function h
Illusion [34]

Answer:

5 seconds

1220 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Know when the stone reaches the maximum height

We know the maximum or minimum height of a parabola is at the vertex so we need to find the vertex

Step 2: Calculate the vertex

The t coordinate of the vertex can be calculated with \frac{-b}{2a}

b = 160

a = 16

t=\frac{-(160)}{2(-16)}\\t=\frac{-160}{-32}\\t=5

Step 3: We know the t coordinate we can find the height at that time

h_{(t)} =-16(5)^{2} +160(5)+20\\h_{(t)}=16(25)+ (800)+20\\h_{(t)}=400+ 800+20\\h_{(t)}=1220

Therefore the stone reaches its maximum height of 1220 ft in 5 secs

A study looked at n=238 adolescents, all free of severe illness.23 Subjects wore a wrist actigraph, which allowed the researcher
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since n < 30, we will find the t-score and compare that to the t-score of a significance level of 1%.    

Since they are asking if the difference is significant, we will have a two tailed test, with degree of freedom being 22, so our critical values are

t < -2.704 and t > 2.704

Our t-value for this situation is

t = ([µ + 5.8] - µ)/(1.4/√23)

It's µ + 5.8 because the problem told us that their levels are 5.8 mm higher than the average, so it's the average, plus 5.8

Simplify the equation...

t = 5.8/(1.4/√23)

t = 19.868

19.868 > 2.704, the evidence supports that there is significant difference between the sample and the population

4x-6y=14 slope and y intercept?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

m = 0.667

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate and show the solution for the x-intercept and y-intercept of 4x - 6y = 14.

Calculate the graph plot coordinates for 4x - 6y = 14

Solve 4x - 6y = 14 for x and also for y.

Calculate and show the solution for the slope of 4x - 6y = 14

Find x-intercept

The x-intercept is where the graph crosses the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y1=0 and then solve for x.

4x - 6y = 14

4x - 6(0) = 14

x1 = 3.5    y1 = 0

Find y-intercept

The y-intercept is where the graph crosses the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x2=0 and then solve for y.

4x - 6y = 14

4(0) - 6y = 14

y2 = -2.333    x2 = 0

Get Graph Plot Coordinates

Getting two graph points will allow you to make a straight line on a graph. The plot coordinate format is (x1,y1) and (x2,y2).

Thus, we use the x-intercept and y-intercept results above to get the graph plots for 4x - 6y = 14 as follows:

(x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

(3.5,0) and (0,-2.333)

Find slope

The slope of the line (m) is the steepness of the line. It is the change in the y coordinate divided by the corresponding change in the x coordinate. Simply plug in the coordinates from above and solve for m to get the slope for 4x - 6y = 14

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-2.333 - 0)/(0 - 3.5)

m = 0.667

hope this is correct! c:
