negative slope
Step-by-step explanation:
using the slope equation you can see that the slope is -53
Jason's insurance pays 80% of the cost after he pays a $200 deductible. The deductible is Jason's responsibility. The insurance does not pay this and calculates the 80% AFTER it is subtracted from the total cost.
That's 1200 - 200 = 1000.
The insurance pays 80% of 1000. Percent means "out of 100" (per means "for every" and "cent" means 100 --> think CENTury...100 years). So 80% means 80 out of 100. That is,

. To find 80% of 1000 we multiply:

If decimals are more your thing then represent 80% as .80 and multiply (1000)(.80) = 800.
Now, that's what the insurance pays. So out of that $1,000 the insurance pays $800 leaving Jason with a bill of $200 plus the deductible (another $200). That means Jason pays $400.
Squared is just another way of saying to the power of two, just like how a 5 to the power of 3 is also called five cubed.
His mean score for the first 4 games will be 18 points.
Explanation
In the first 3 games, the mean of the scores is 15 points . Mean is the simple average of some numbers.
So, the total score in first 3 games =
points
Now, in the 4th game, he scored 27 points. So, the total score in the first 4 games =
points
Thus, the average of scores in first 4 games =
points
So, his mean score for the first 4 games will be 18 points.
The answer is A because there is a common difference of 3 and that makes it Arithmetric
