Given:

A line passes through the points (4,2) and (-16, -10).

To find:

The slope of the line.

Solution:

Slope Formula:

$m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

A line passes through the points (4,2) and (-16, -10). So, slope of the line is

$m=\dfrac{-10-2}{-16-4}$

$m=\dfrac{-12}{-20}$

$m=\dfrac{3}{5}$

Therefore, the slope of the line is $\dfrac{3}{5}$ .

Find the volume of the following compound shape.

Bess [88]

<h3>Given:</h3>

Cone
Cylinder

<h3>Volume of the cone:</h3>

$v = \frac{1}{3} \pi {r}^{2} h$

$v = \frac{1}{3} \times \pi \times {10}^{2} \times 10$

$v = 1047.20 \: {cm}^{3}$

<h3>Volume of the cylinder:</h3>

$v = \pi {r}^{2} h$

$v = \pi \times {10}^{2} \times 10$

$v = 3141.59 \: {cm}^{3}$

<h3>Total volume:</h3>

$v = 1047.20 + 3141.59$

$v = 4188.79 \: {cm}^{3}$

Hence, the volume of the given cone shape is 4188.79 cubic centimeters.

When given a raw score, explain how to use the normal curve to compare that

stepladder [879]

First of all, you need to come to an understanding of what you mean by "compare that score to the population." Often, that will mean determining the percentile rank of the score.

To determine the percentile rank of a raw score, you first nomalize it by determining the number of standard deviations it lies from the mean. That is, you subtract the population mean and divide that difference by the population standard deviation. Now, you have what is referred to as a "z-score".

Using a table of standard normal probability functions (or an equivalent calculator or app), you look up the cumulative distribution value corresponding to the z-score you have. This number between 0 and 1 (0% and 100%) will be the percentile rank of the score, the fraction of the population that has raw scores below the raw score you started with.

Her house is 24 feet tall = 24*12 inches = 288 inches

SO, 288/8 = 36 (Scaling factor)

5feet * 12 inches/feet = 60 inches

60 inches /36 = 1.667 inches.................< Figurine
