Answer:

m = - 2/3 or

m = - 0.66667.

I don't know which form is simpler.

Step-by-step explanation:

All you want is the slope.

The slope formula is

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

y2 =  7

y1 = 3

x2 = - 2

x1 = 4

My choice of which one is 1 and which one is 2 is totally arbitrary. You could have made y2 = 3 and y1 = 7 and x2 = 4 and x1 = -2

m = (7 - 3) / (-2 - 4)

m = 4 / - 6

m = -2/3 or

m = - 0.6667

An isocost line will be shifted further away from the origin:_______.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

D. All the above are correct

Step-by-step explanation:

An isocost line will be shifted further away from the origin if the total cost increases, if the price of both inputs increases or there is an advance in technology.

An isocost line can be defined as the graphical representation of various combinations of two inputs factors (labor,L and capital, K) which the firm can afford or purchase with a given amount of money.

An isocost line can be expressed mathematically as:

C = w L + r K

Where,

C = cost of production

w = price of labor or wages

L = units of labor

r = price of capital or interest rate

K =units of capital

Isocost is used to determine what combination of factor inputs the firm will choose for production process.

What is the interquartile range of the following set of numbers? 114, 90, 83, 101, 97, 142, 117, 87, 72
Likurg_2 [28]
Hello!

First we have to find the median

We have to order the numbers from least to greatest

72, 83, 87, 90, 97, 101, 114, 117, 142

The median is 97

Next we have to find quartile 1

you look for the median for the numbers under 97

It is 83 and 87

You get the average

83 + 87 = 170

170 / 2 = 85

quartile 1 is 85

Next we find quartile 3

Look for the median for the numbers above 97

The numbers are 114 and 117

Get the average

114 + 117 = 231

231/2 = 115.5

Now you find the range between the quartiles

You do quartile 3 - quartile 1

115.5 - 85 = 30.5

The answer is 30.5

Hope this helps!
