Let's use the slope intercept form of a line which is:
y=mx+b where m=slope and b=y-intercept.
Mathematically m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) and the y-intercept is just the value of y when x is equal to zero, where the line intercepts the y axis...
First you want to find the slope by finding two clearly identifiable points on the graph...I'll pick (4,4) and (0,1), now we can calculate the slope or "m"...
m=(4-1)/(4-0)=3/4 so now we can say our line is:
y=0.75x+b, using point (4,4) we can now solve for b.
4=0.75(4)+b
4=3+b
b=1 so the line is"
y=0.75x+1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Your first step is to find the total number of animals, no matter what they are.
34 + 27 + 12 + 16 + 22 = 111 animals.
You could add all the numbers other than the 12 hippopotamuses together. If you did, you would get 99.
The answer is 99/111 = 0.892
Sometimes it is just easier to do the following. Find the the probability of getting a hippo and subtract that from 1.
12/111 = 0.108
And subtract this number from 1. One represents all of the possible animals.
1 - 0.108 = 0.892
Later on, when you get problems that are more complicated, the second way is the way to do it. It gives you lest grief.
15/40, or 3/8, .375,,,,,,,,,,,,
Let's go through the answer choices one by one:
A. False. The line segment contains more than just the endpoints
B. False. There are points in this description that extend beyond the endpoints. If this was a line instead of a segment, then choice B would be the answer
C. True. This is the answer. Though your teacher should have added "collinear" to the sentence to make it clear that the points are between M and N, and also collinear to M and N. All of these points form the line segment MN
D. False. That would be the perpendicular bisector of MN
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So once again, the final answer is choice C
