Answer:

Deductive reasoning is a method of logical thought that begins with a general concept and arrives at a particular conclusion. It is often referred to as top-down thought or shifting from general to particular.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are some examples:

Elephants have cells in their bodies, and all cells have DNA. ...
All horses have manes.
Acute angles are less than 90 degrees. This angle is 40 degrees, so it must be an acute angle.
All noble gases are stable.

OleMash [197]

The ordered pairs would be (x-2, -y).

Translating a graph to the right subtracts the number of units from the x-coordinate.

Reflecting across the x-axis negates the y-coordinate.

The easiest way to determine the score is to use a calculator or spreadsheet and the appropriate probability function.

If you want the top 10%, the score corresponds to the 90th percentile. That score is 316.

If you want the top 15%, the score corresponds to the 85th percentile. That score is 313.

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the point (2,6) and has slope of 5?

sleet_krkn [62]

Firstly, you can use the slope and the first point to find a second point:
2 + 1 = x2 and 6 + 5 = y2 because the slope is 5/1.
Next you can write the equation in point-slope form (remember point-slope form is y - y1 = m(x - x1):
y - 11 = 5(x - 3)
Another equation would be B because B is the correct equation if you choose 2 as x2 and 6 as y2.
Hope this helps!
