<h2>Answer:    slope = - 95</h2><h2> </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:    

      The question gives us two points, (87, 91) and (88, -4), from which we can find the slope and later the equation of the line.

<u> </u>

<u>Finding the Slope</u>  

The slope of the line (m) = (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)      

                                        =  (91 - (- 4)) ÷ (87 - 88)    

                                        =  - 95

<em><u /></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em><u>Checking my answer:</u></em>

<em>Finding the Equation</em>  

We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:  

                                ⇒  y - (-4) =  - 95 (x - 88)

                                       y + 4 =  - 95 (x - 88)

<em>To test my answer, I have included a Desmos Graph that I graphed using the information provided in the question and my answer.</em>

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

5 different triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The number of diagonals of an n-sided polygon is given by the formula :

n(n − 3) / 2

where

n is the number of sides

In this problem

n=5

substitute

5(5-3)/2=5\ diagonals

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

The number of different triangles that can be formed by the sides of the polygon and its diagonals is equal to 5

so

xenn [34]

To solve the problem we must know about the correlation coefficients.

<h3>What is the correlation coefficient?</h3>

The correlation coefficient helps us to know how strong is the relation between two variables. Its value is always between +1 to -1, where, the numerical value shows how strong is the relation between them and, the '+' or '-' sign shows whether the relationship is positive or negative.

  • 1 indicates a strong positive relationship.
  • -1 indicates a strong negative relationship.
  • A result of zero indicates no relationship at all, therefore, independent variable.

The correlation coefficient -0.9847 denotes, "There is a strong negative relationship between x and y".

Given to us

  • The correlation coefficient for the data is −0. 9847.

As we can see that the value of the correlation coefficient is 0.9847, therefore, it is close to 1 means the relationship is strong, while the '-' symbol denotes that the relationship is negative.

Hence, the correlation coefficient -0.9847 denotes, "There is a strong negative relationship between x and y".

7/20 in decimal form
zhannawk [14.2K]
Well, we would have to divide 7 into 20 in order to find the decimal, so 7 divided by 20 = 0.35, so 7/20 as a decimal is 0.35, and if you move the decimal two places to the left, it is also 35%.
I hope I helped! =D
