Answer:
slope = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
Parallel lines have equal slopes thus the slope of a parallel line will be equal to the slope of PQ
To calculate slope m use the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = P(- 2, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = Q(6, - 2)
m =
=
= - 
Answer: 60 of the patients are boys.
Step-by-step explanation: According to what is described, 5 in 8 patients are girls, then: 8 - 5 = 3, i.e., 3 in 8 are boys.
Mathematically the proportionality is 
If 160 patients have appointments per month and
are boys:
160.
= 60
Per month, 60 boys have appointments at the medical office.
18/90 in simplest form is 1/5
18 and 90 are both divisible by 9
18 = 2
90 = 10
2 and 10 are divisible by 2
2 = 1
10 = 5
18/90 = 1/5
No, the question is not a statistical question.
2,000 people is the answer
