<h2>Finding the slope and y-intercept of a line given the graph</h2><h3>Answer:</h3>

b = 4

m = -\frac{1}{3}

<h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

An equation of a line written in its Slope-intercept Form, y = mx +b, has b as its y-intercept and m as its slope.

b or the y-intercept is the y-coordinate when x = 0. On the given line, we can see that when x = 0, y = 4. It's y-intercept is the point (0,4) so b = 4.

The slope, m, of the line can be calculated by \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}\\ where x_n and y_n is the xy-coordinates of any point n on the line. In the given line, we can see that (5,3) is on the line so this can be point 1. (0,4) is also on the line (yes, you can also use the y-intercept in calculating the slope of the line) so this can be our point 2.

m = \frac{4 -3}{0 -3} \\ m = \frac{1}{-3} \\ m = -\frac{1}{3}

The y-intercept is b = 4 and the slope is m = -\frac{1}{3}

What value represents the number of ways in which the expected classes are free to vary in the chi-square goodness-of-fit test?
Ket [755]

In statistics, the number of degrees of freedom is the number of values in the final calculation of a statistic that are free to vary.

The number of independent ways by which a dynamic system can move, without violating any constraint imposed on it, is called number of degrees of freedom. In other words, the number of degrees of freedom can be defined as the minimum number of independent coordinates that can specify the position of the system completely.

Given that ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS, which statement MUST be true? A) m∠PST = m∠QPR B) m∠TPS = m∠RPQ C) m∠SPT = m∠PTS D) m∠PRQ =
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The correct option is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two triangle are similar if their corresponding sides are in the same proportion or the corresponding angles are same.

It is given that the ΔPQR is similar to ΔPTS. It means all corresponding angles are same.

\angle R=\angle S

\angle Q=\angle T

\angle P=\angle P

Angle P can be defined as

\angle QPR=\angle TPS

\angle RPQ=\angle TPS

Therefore option B is correct.

\angle PST\neq\angle QPR

\angle SPT\neq\angle PTS

\angle PRQ\neq\angle PTS

Therefore option A, C and D are incorrect.

Name a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5
Aliun [14]

To find a number between both decimals, what you can do is take the average of both numbers.

We have then:

average = \frac{0.4+0.5}{2}

Rewriting we have:

average = \frac{0.9}{2} \\average = 0.45

Therefore, the decimal obtained is a number between 0.4 and 0.5

Answer:

a decimal between 0.4 and 0.5 is:

average = 0.45
