Gradient:

Find two points on the line and with those two points, calculate the difference in height(y coordinates) divided by the difference in width(x coordinates). If you get a positive value, then your line will be uphill.

Y-intercept:

Use y=mx+b
Find the slope first using the slope formula which is y2-y1 OVER x2-x1. Once you have that, take a point from the line and substitute the x and y coordinates along with the slope into y=mx+b.

So if your slope was 2/1 and your point was (4,8), it would be:

8=2(4)+b
8=6+b
*subtract 6 from both sides*
b=2

Monica took a survey of her classmates' hair and eye color. The results are in the table below.

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

let R represent red hair

let G represent green eyes

from Baye's theorem:

$P( \frac{R}{G} ) = \frac{P(RnG)}{P(G)}$

P(RnG) = 5

$P(G) = { \sum}(green \: hair) \\ = (3 + 5 + 5) \\ = 13$

Therefore:

$P( \frac{R}{G} ) = \frac{5}{13} \\ = 0.385$

The conditional relative frequency = 0.385

the krazy kite company is planning to produce kites.the company has rented space for its manufacturing operation at $6,000 per m

Leviafan [203]

37k (cost of the materials for each kite) plus 28k (the labor for each kite) plus 6,000=x (the total cost). With this equation you can plug in any number of kites so...

37k+28k+6,000=x Combine like terms...

65k+6,000=x Plug in k...

65(170)+6,000=x Multiply...

11,050+6,000=x Add...

x=17,050

Write the standard form of the line that contains a slope of -1/2 and y-intercept of 1. Include your work in your final answer.

NemiM [27]

The slope intercept form would be y= -1/2x + 1 and to get it into standard form all you have to do is move the -1/2 x to the other side, making it 1/2x + y = 1

If string str1 = "forest" and string str2 = "school", then what is the value of str1.compareto(str2);?

REY [17]

This is an java command program. String 1 is stands for str1= '' forest '' accepted within quote marks. String 2 is stands for str1= '' school'' accepted within quote marks the command compareto will cause the output will display as shown below : str1.compareto(str2); when run this command we will get the output like this ; forest school ================================================== the model program is like this; { String str1 = " forest " ; String str2 = "school "; System.out.println(); System.out.println("String 1: " + str1); System.out.println("String 2: " + str2);
