Step-by-step explanation:

first add all of the given together and then divide what you get by the number of terms given

(5'2+5'3+5'4+ 5'5+5'6+ 5'7+ 5'8+5'9+5'9,+5'10+5'11+5'12)/12 = 5'7 11/64 inches

What is the equation of the line shown in the graph?
postnew [5]

The slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

m - slope

b - y-intercept

The formula of a slope:

m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

We have the points (-3, 1) and (2, -4). Substitute:

m=\dfrac{-4-1}{2-(-3)}=\dfrac{-5}{5}=-1

Therefore we have the equation of a line

y=-1x+b\to y=-x+b

Put the coordinates of the point (-3, 1) to the equation:

1=-(-3)+b

1=3+b      <em>subtract 3 from both sides</em>

-2=b\to b=-2

<h3>Answer: y = -x - 2</h3>
