(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
(-7-5)/(4-2)
-12/2= -6
Answer:
1. An Experimental
2. Dependent
3. Independent
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the description of how the research was carried out, it can be concluded that This study is an example of AN EXPERIMENTAL study. This because the researcher is trying to study the effectiveness of a new drug for lowering cholesterol
The difference in cholesterol level is the DEPENDENT variable. This is because the difference in cholesterol level is what the researcher wants to determine.
The treatment with a drug or placebo is the INDEPENDENT variable. This is because this is what the researcher manipulates to determine the difference in cholesterol level which is the dependent variable in this experimental study.
Answer:
B) 34/48
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest common denominator to find is the product of the denominators you have.
__
The difference is ...
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
The difference numerator and denominator have a common factor of 2, so can be reduced to 17/24. The denominator 24 could have been used as the common denominator from the start.
5/6 -1/8 = 20/24 -3/24 = 17/24 . . . . reduced result
__
Using the <em>least common denominator</em> does not always result in a reduced sum or difference. If some other denominator is used (as here), then you can be assured that the result will need to be reduced to get to lowest terms.
Answer:
1) y = -2x - 1
2) y = -3/4 + 3
3) y = 4x + 9
4) y = - 5/3x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
b = y - m*x
1) (-7,13) and slope: -2
b = 13 - (-2)*(-7)
b = 13 - 14
b = -1
2) (4,6) lope = -3/4
b = 6 - (-3/4)*(-4)
b = 6 - 3
b = 3
y = -3/4x + 3
3) (-5,-11) and (3,-7)
Slope: (1 - - 11)/(-2 - - 5) = 12/3
= 4
b = -11 - (4) (-5) = 9
b = 9
4) slope = (-7 - 8)/(3- - 6)
= -15/9 = - 5/3
b = 8 - (-5/3)*(-6)
b = 8 - 10
b = -2
