Answer:

Because if it is zero, then it is multiplied the variable and it will be zero. For example if I had 0x(squared) + x, it would just be x because zero times any number is zero. Looking at the problem, I would assume it was quadratic because it had x squared, but it isn't because there are 0 x squared values.

Group A

Money spent by Person 1 = £500

Money spent by Person 2 = £600

Money spent by Person 3 = £900

Money spent by Person 4 = £450

Sum of money spent by group A = £2,450

Average money spent by group A = $\frac{2,450}{4}$

⇒ Average money spent by group A = £612.5

Group B

Money spent by Person 1 = £700

Money spent by Person 2 = £500

Money spent by Person 3 = £680

Money spent by Person 4 = £500

Sum of money spent by group B = £2,380

Average money spent by group B = $\frac{2,380}{4}$

⇒ Average money spent by group B = £595

Hence, Group B had lower average spend.

Find the gradients of line a and b

34kurt

Answer:

3 and - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the gradients using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

Line A

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, - 2) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, 1) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{1+2}{1-0}$ = 3

Line B

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (1, 1) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 5) ← 2 points on the line

m = $\frac{5-1}{0-1}$ = $\frac{4}{-1}$ = - 4
