Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Point (-5, -7)

Point (-4, 1)

Step 2: Find slope m

Simply plug in the 2 coordinates into the slope formula to find slope m

Substitute in points [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{1+7}{-4+5}$
[Fraction] Add: $\displaystyle m=\frac{8}{1}$
[Fraction] Divide: $\displaystyle m=8$

Answer:

$m = \frac{y_2 - y_ 1 }{x_2 - x_1 } = \frac{1 - ( - 7)}{ - 4 - ( - 5)} = \frac{1 + 7}{ - 4 + 5} = \frac{8}{1} =8\\$

8 is the slope of a line that goes through points (-5, -7) and (-4, 1)

There are twenty classes at each of two middle schools. The number of students in each class at each school is shown in the dot

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rest of the question is the attached figure.

It is required to compare between the mean number of students for the data in the plots.

The mean is sum of all data divided by the number of data.

The data set of Poplar Middle School:

20,20,20,21,21,21,21,21,22,22,22,22,22,22,22,23,23,23,23,24

So, The mean = 435/20 = 21.75

The data set of Oak Middle School:

20,21,21,22,22,23,23,23,23,24,24,24,25,25,26,26,27,27,28,29

So, The mean = 483/20 = 24.15

The difference in mean = 24.15 - 21.75 = 2.4

So, the correct statement is:

There are about 2 more students in each class at Oak Middle School than at Poplar Middle School.

Question 1 (5 points)

Mila [183]

Answer:

AB and CD would be 30

AC and BD would be 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale factor is what you multiply the sides by. Dilate means wider or larger so you multiply each side by the scale factor of 2 to get the higher scaled rectangle.

Please help! It’s due tomorrow it also says to show my work

Pani-rosa [81]

Given:

The inequality is

$x+19\leq 23$

To find:

The value of x and then graph on the number line.

Solution:

We have,

$x+19\leq 23$

Subtracting 19 from both sides, we get

$x+19-19\leq 23-19$

$x\leq 4$

It means all the real values of x which are less than or equal to 4 are in the solution set. So, an arrow approaches towards left from x=4 as shown in the below figure.

Use the given conditional statement to determine the converse and inverse statements. If a line is vertical, then it has undefin

Georgia [21]

1) Definitions:

1.1) Inverse statement: negating the hypothesis and the conclusion of the original statement, i.e.:

conditional statement: p → q

inverse: ~p → ~q (the symbol ~ means the negation)

1.2) Converse statement: switching the hypothesis and the conclusion of the conditional statement, i.e.:

conditional statement: p → q

converse: q → p

2) converse of the given statement

conditional: If a line is vertical, then it has undefined slope.

converse: switch the hypothesis and the conclusion

if a line has undefined slope, then it is vertical <------- answer

3) Inverse of the given statement

conditional: if a line is vertical, then it has undefined slope.

inverse: negate both hypothesis and conclusion.

if a line is not vertical, then it does not have an undefined slope <---answer
