Answer:

finding slope: The slope will be the same for a straight line no matter which two points you pick as you know. All you need to do is to calculate the difference in the y coordinates of the 2 points and divide that by the difference of the x coordinates of the points(rise over run). That will give you the slope.

parallel: We can determine from their equations whether two lines are parallel by comparing their slopes. If the slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different, the lines are parallel. If the slopes are different, the lines are not parallel. Unlike parallel lines, perpendicular lines do intersect.

hope this helps!

Answer:

The slope of a line is the rise/run of how far away the points are from each other. Say you have the equation y=3/4x-6, the slope is 3/4 so that means you plot your first point at -6 on the y-axis, because that is your y-intercept, and then you will go up 3, right 4. You will continue to do this until you have enough points to make a line. When two lines are parallel, they will always have the same slope. So the lines y=1/2x+4 and y=1/2x-3 are parallel because not only do they have the same slope, they do not intersect at all, which is a requirement for parallel lines. I hope this helps!!

marysya [2.9K]

Answer: 1.53

Step-by-step explanation:

The given data : 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 8

Number of data values : n= 6

The mean value of the given data will be  :-

\overline{x}=\dfrac{\sum_{i=1}^{6}x_i}{n}\\\\\Rightarrow\ \overline{x}=\dfrac{30}{6}=5

The formula to find standard deviation:_

\sqrt{\dfrac{\sum(x-\overline{x})^2}{n}]

Now,

\sum_{i=1}^{6}(x_i-\overline{x})^2=(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(-1)^2+(1)^2+(3)^2\\\\=1+1+1+1+1+9=14

The standard deviation will be :-

\sigma=\sqrt{\dfrac{14}{6}}\approx1.53
