Given: Points (-9, 6) and (-3, 9)
Find: The slope of the line that goes through those two points
Solution: In order to find the slope of the line that goes through the points that were provided we have to use the slope formula. This formula subtracts the y-coordinates from each other and also the x-coordinates from each other to determine the rise/run which would give us the rate of change.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Simplify the expression</u>
Therefore, looking at the given options we can see that the best fitting one would be option A, 1/2.
Answer:
The sweat chloride reference value is less than 30 mmol/L. A value of more than 60 mmol/L of chloride in the sweat is consistent with a diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The values of 30-60 mEq/L may represent heterozygous carriers, these carriers cannot be accurately identified with a sweat chloride test.
We want to solve
Subtract 5 from each side.
Divide each side by 3.
Take natural logs of each side.
Divide each side by 2.
x = 0.9962
Answer: x = 0.996 (nearest thousanth)
Slope =
------------------------
6 - 6 = 0
15 - (-1) = 16
0 / 16 = 0
--------------------------------
You have a
slope of 0, meaning that this is a straight horizontal line
