Answer:

1/2 or 0.5 (same value, different form)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok...since I can't actually graph it, we can make a table out of it....

x y

7 -1

9 0

From -1 to 0, we add 1 (this is for the y section)

From 7 to 9, we add 2 (this is for the x section)

Now all we have to do is divide the y with the x

y/x = 1/2

The slope will be 1/2 (fraction form) 0.5 (decimal form)

Hope this helped!

Find all solutions for a triangle with a = 14, b= 12, and B = 90°.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$a = 14; b= 12; B = 90^\circ$

Required

Find all possible solutions

If $B = 90^\circ$ , then the triangle is right-angled and the hypotenuse is at b

Given that $a = 14; b= 12;$

This implies that a > b

In a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse (side b) is the longest.

Since this is not true for the given sides, then the triangle has no solution.

An estimated 40% of all people were born after the year 2000. If two people are selected at random from around the world, what a

sukhopar [10]

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36

<h3>How to determine the probability?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Year = 2000

Proportion of people born after 2000, p = 40%

Sample size = 2

The chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is calculated as:

P = (1- p)^2

Substitute the known values in the above equation

P = (1 - 40%)^2

Evaluate the exponent

P = 0.36

Hence, the chances that NEITHER of these two selected people were born after the year 2000 is 0.36
