Hey there!!
How do we find slopes ?
Slope = 
We are given with two co-ordinates :
(-1,8) and (3,-4)
Hence, the slope is :

...
= -3
The slope is -3.
Hope my answer helps!
Answer:
1.7 × 10⁻⁴
Step-by-step explanation:
The question relates to a two sample z-test for the comparison between the means of the two samples
The null hypothesis is H₀: μ₁ ≤ μ₂
The alternative hypothesis is Hₐ: μ₁ > μ₂

Where;
= 13.5
= 12
σ₁ = 2.5
σ₂ = 1.5
We set our α level at 0.05
Therefore, our critical z = ± 1.96
For n₁ = n₂ = 23, we have;

We reject the null hypothesis at α = 0.05, as our z-value, 3.5969 is larger than the critical z, 1.96 or mathematically, since 3.5969 > 1.96
Therefore, there is enough statistical evidence to suggest that Alyse time is larger than Jocelyn in a 1 mile race on a randomly select day and the probability that Alyse has a larger time than Jocelyn is 0.99983
Therefore;
The probability that Alyse has a smaller time than Jocelyn is 1 - 0.99983 = 0.00017 = 1.7 × 10⁻⁴.
In this problem, you apply principles in trigonometry. Since it is not mentioned, you will not assume that the triangle is a special triangle such as the right triangle. Hence, you cannot use Pythagorean formulas. The only equations you can use is the Law of Sines and Law of Cosines.
For finding side a, you can answer this easily by the Law of Cosines. The equation is
a2=b2 +c2 -2bccosA
a2 = 11^2 + 8^2 -2(11)(8)(cos54)
a2 = 81.55
a = √81.55
a = 9
Then, we use the Law of Sines to find angles B and C. The formula would be
a/sinA = b/sinB = c/sinC
9/sin54° = 11/sinB
B = 80.4°
9/sin54° = 8/sinC
C = 45.6°
The answer would be: a ≈ 9, C ≈ 45.6, B ≈ 80.4
