Answer:

A. The slope of m is -2/5

and

D. The slope of p is -5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope is defined as the "change in y" over the "change in x" of a line. If you pick two points on a line --- (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) --- you can calculate the slope by dividing y2 - y1 over x2 - x1.

Line m goes through the points (-2,7) and (3,5). Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (5 - 7 )/(3 - -2) = -2/5

Line q goes through the points (6,15) and (0,0). Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (0 - 15 )/(0 - 6) = -15/-6 = 2.5 = 2 1/2 = 5/2

Line n goes through the points (-5,0) and (0,-2). Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (-2 - 0 )/(0 - -5) = -2/5

Line p goes through the points (6,15) and (10,5). Slope = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = (5 - 15 )/(10 - 6) = -10/4 = -2.5 = -2 1/2 = -5/2

Therfore the only true options are A and D

What’s the slope of the line passing through points (0,4) and (2,2)

Flura [38]

Slope is rise over run, aka change in y divided by change in x:

$m = \dfrac{2 - 4}{2 - 0} = \dfrac{-2}{2} = -1$

Answer: -1

|7m–56|, if m<8 write without using absolute value

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

56-7m

Step-by-step explanation:

l7m–56l m<8

so lets replace m with something smalller then 8, how about 7

so then it would be...

l 7 * 7 - 56 l=

l 49-56 l = l -7 l

but the absulute value of -7 is 7, so how does this help us? well lets see

56-49= 7 this proves that all we have to do is switch the order giving us the solution 56-7m

hope this helped :)

A customer service phone line claims that the wait times before a call is answered by a service representative is less than 3.3

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the wait times before a call is answered in phone calls.

The claim is x bar <3.3 minutes

Sample size n =62

Sample mean - x bar = 3.24 minutes

Population std dev = $\sigma = 0.40 minutes\\$

Since population std dev is known and also sample size is sufficiently large, we can use Z test.

$H_0: x bar = 3.3\\H_a: x bar$

(one tailed test)

Mean difference = 3.24-3.3 = -0.06 min

Std error of sample = $\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n} } =\frac{0.40}{\sqrt{62} } \\=0.0508$

Z = tset statistic = $\frac{-006}{0.0508} \\\\=-1.18$

p value = 0.119

Since p value > alpha, we accept null hypothesis.

There is no evidence to support the claim at alpha = 0.08
