Lorena calculated the slope of the linear function that is represented by the table of values as shown. x y –10 15 –8 27 –6 39 –
Anvisha [2.4K]

She made a mistake when she subtracted x1 from x2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1 :

a)

The formula used by Lorena to calculate the slope between 2 points is correct

So the statement given in option 1 is not the reason for her mistake

Step 2:

b)

She has taken the fourth and fifth point and correctly used the x and y co ordinates to calculate the slope

Hence the statement in second option is not true

Step 3:

c)

While calculating the slope the denominator is -2 - (-4) . This gives 2 as the answer. But she has made a mistake in this subtraction giving -6 as the answer.

Hence she has made a mistake in subtracting x1 from x2 and this statement is true

Step 4:

d)

She has not made any mistake in subtracting y1 from y2. Hence this statement is not true

What is the probability of rolling a “4” on a fair 6-sided die and flipping a heads on a fair coin?
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Die: 16. 2/3%

Coin: 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well rolling a 4 on a 6 sided die is 1/6.

To make that a percent we first make it a decimal.

1 ÷ 6 = .16666 repeating

To make this a percent we move the decimal place 2 times to the right.

16.2/3%

The chance of flipping a heads on a fair sided coin is 50% because there are two sides with a 50/50 chance of being either.

<em>Thus,</em>

<em>for rolling a 4 on a 6 sided die there is a 16.2/3% chance and a 50% for flipping a heads on a 2 sided coin.</em>

<em />

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

Explanation:
We can rewrite the expression:
√8×√20
using the following rule for radicals:
√a⋅√b=√a⋅b
√8⋅√20⇒√8⋅20⇒√160
Now, we can use this rule for radicals to simplify the radical:
√a⋅b=√a⋅√b
√160⇒√16⋅10⇒√16⋅√10⇒4√10
