Put the numbers in order.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 2: Find the median.
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, 27.
Step 3: Place parentheses around the numbers above and below the median.
Not necessary statistically, but it makes Q1 and Q3 easier to spot.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, (12, 15, 18, 19, 27).
Step 4: Find Q1 and Q3
Think of Q1 as a median in the lower half of the data and think of Q3 as a median for the upper half of data.
(1, 2, 5, 6, 7), 9, ( 12, 15, 18, 19, 27). Q1 = 5 and Q3 = 18.
Step 5: Subtract Q1 from Q3 to find the interquartile range.
18 – 5 = 13.
Answer: m = -5/8
Step-by-step explanation:
The general equation for slope is rise over run, also known as:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
From the points (x, y), we can get all the variables we need.
(-1, -7) gives us x1 = -1 and y1 = -7
(-9, -2) gives us x2 = -9 and y2 = -2
If we plug all the values in, we get:
m = (-2 - (-7))/(-9 - (-1))
m = (-2 + 7)/(-9 + 1) the negatives cancel
m = (5)/(-8)
m = -5/8
