Answer:

A. Slope is -12 feet per second

B. Yes, it is constant.

<u>Skills needed: Linear Equations, Substitution and Division</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Solving Part A (we need to find the slope):

  • The slope is \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} --> y_1, y_2, x_1, and x_2 are all values from the table. We know that the left column is the x-values, and the right column is the y-values as that is the conventional way of depicting them.

2) Using the y-values of 1150 and 1090, and their corresponding x-values (5 and 10 respectively), we can get the slope:

- \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} ==> \frac{1090-1150}{10-5} ==> 1090-1150=-60, 10-5=5 ==> \frac{-60}{5}

\frac{-60}{5} =-12, so the slope is -12.

==================================================================

1) Part B (analysis)

We can see that no matter what 2 y-values and their corresponding x values we use, the slope always is the same. This means that the rate of change is constant.

13. Write a few sentences describing what you have learned about the mean length of the population of 268 words in the Gettysbur
alexira [117]

You can obtain information about the mean population by taking a random sample of it and taking the average of that sample. The Law of big Numbers says that the bigger the sample, the more likely we will be closer to the real mean value. In other words, the margin of error is less likely to be big.
