1.Find the slope of the line through (-6, 11) and (15, 20).
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf m= \frac{3}{7} }}

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find the slope of a line. The slope tells us the steepness and direction of a line. It is found by dividing the change in y by the change in x.

m= \frac{ \Delta y }{\Delta x}

m= \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

In this formula, (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂) are the points the line passes through. We are given the points (-6, 11) and (15,20). If we match a value with its corresponding variable, we see that:

  • x₁ = -6
  • y₁ = 11
  • x₂ = 15
  • y₂ = 20

Substitute the values into the formula.

m= \frac{20-11}{15 - -6 }

Solve the numerator.

m= \frac{9}{15--6}

Solve the denominator. 2 back to back negative signs become a positive sign.

m= \frac{9}{15+6}

m= \frac{9}{21}

Simplify the fraction. 3 divides evenly into the numerator and denominator.

m= \frac{9/3}{21/3}

m= \frac{3}{7}

The slope of the line is <u>3/7.</u>

What is the inverse of the function f(x) = x + 2?
wolverine [178]
Turn f(x) into y so the equation is y=x+2. Now switch their places so it is x=y+2. Now solve for y. The answer is y=x-2.

ioda

Answer: inductive argument.

Step-by-step explanation:

Deductive argument is a logical argument in which a conclusion is made upon the given premises which are assumed to be true.

inductive argument works on the basis of a series of observation and then bring it to frame a certain conclusion.

Here, Flanagans are considering the observation they made by previous children (i.e. they are athletically gifted) and applying the same on the new one by saying "youngest child is bound to be athletically gifted as well.".

So it is of-course an inductive argument.
