Answer:

B(-1/2)

Step-by-step explanation:

So remember, the slope is y2-y1/x2/x1. Note that y2 means the second y adn x2 means the second x.

So lets plug in our numbers for the top of our fraction, y2-y1. This is 0- - 2.

You should get postive 2, since -- equals a + so it would be 0+2 equaling 2.

This is your y value of your slope.

Next lets find the x value of the slope.

Lets plug in our numbers for the bottem raction this time, which is x2-x1. This is 1-5.

You should get negative 4, since 1-5 equals -4.

This is the x value of the slope.

Knowing your y and x value of the slope, we can tell that the slope will be:

2/-4

This can be simplyfied to -1/2. Since 2 goes into 2, 1 time(for y). Then 2 goes into -4, -2 times(for x). So now its 1/-2.

The negative sign can just be moved to the front since it is the only negative and does not change:

Answer:

<u>-1/2</u>

The stem-and-leaf plot shows the ages of customers who were interviewed in a survey by a store.
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is a steam and leaf plot.

This shows the age of customers who were interviewed in a survey by a store.

From the plot we can say that 10th digit is represented by the stem

For greater than 32, obviously 1,2 stem valus will not work.

For stem 3, we can leave 30 and 31 start with 2 in leaf and 3 n stem

We have 32, onwards 7 persons

Similarly for 4, we have 6, for 5 we have 5, for 6 we have 4 and for 7 we have 1

Total number of customers who have ages more than 32 years = 21
