Answer:Given the two points you entered of (-4, -3) and (-2, 0), we need to calculate 8 items:

Item 1: Calculate the slope and point-slope form:

Slope (m)  =   y2 - y1

  x2 - x1

Slope (m)  =   0 - -3

  -2 - -4

Slope (m)  =   3

  2

Calculate the point-slope form using the formula below:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - -3 = 3/2(x + 4)

Item 2: Calculate the line equation that both points lie on.

The standard equation of a line is y = mx + b where m is our slope, x and y are points on the line, and b is a constant.

Rearranging that equation to solve for b, we get b = y - mx. Using the first point that you entered = (-4, -3) and the slope (m) = 3/2 that we calculated, let's plug in those values and evaluate:

b = -3 - (3/2 * -4)

b = -3 - (-12/2)

b  =   -6

  2

-

 

-12

2

b  =   6

  2

This fraction is not reduced. Using our GCF Calculator, we see that the top and bottom of the fraction can be reduced by 6

Our reduced fraction is:

1

0.33333333333333

Now that we have calculated (m) and (b), we have the items we need for our standard line equation:

y = 3/2x + 3

Item 3: Calculate the distance between the 2 points you entered.

Distance = Square Root((x2 - x1)2 + (y2 - y1)2)

Distance = Square Root((-2 - -4)2 + (0 - -3)2)

Distance = Square Root((22 + 32))

Distance = √(4 + 9)

Distance = √13

Distance = 3.6056

Item 4: Calculate the Midpoint between the 2 points you entered. Midpoint is denoted as follows:

Midpoint =

 

x2 + x1

2

 

,

y2 + y1

2

Midpoint =

 

-4 + -2

2

 

,

-3 + 0

2

Midpoint =

 

-6

2

 

,

-3

2

Midpoint = (-3, -3/2)

Item 5: Form a right triangle and calculate the 2 remaining angles using our 2 points:

Using our 2 points, we form a right triangle by plotting a 3rd point (-2,-3)

Our first triangle side = -2 - -4 = 2

Our second triangle side = 0 - -3 = 3

Using the slope we calculated, Tan(Angle1) = 1.5

Angle1 = Atan(1.5)

Angle1 = 56.3099°

Since we have a right triangle, we only have 90 degrees left, so Angle2 = 90 - 56.3099° = 33.6901

Item 6:  Calculate the y intercept of our line equation

The y intercept is found by setting x = 0 in the line equation y = 3/2x + 3

y = 3/2(0) + 3

y = 3

Item 7: Determine the parametric equations for the line determined by (-4, -3) and (-2, 0)

Parametric equations are written in the form (x,y) = (x0,y0) + t(b,-a)

Plugging in our numbers, we get

(x,y) = (-4,-3) + t(-2 - -4,0 - -3)

(x,y) = (-4,-3) + t(2,3)

x = -4 + 2t

y = -3 + 3t

Calculate Symmetric Equations:

x - x0

z

 

y - y0

b

Plugging in our numbers, we get:

x - -4

2

 

y - -3

3

It would seem the problem requires you compute the mean, median, and standard deviation of each of the data sets. This is nicely done using the statistics functions of your graphing calculator.

Data Set A (mean, median, standard deviation) = (29.7, 29.5, √12.71)
Data Set B (mean, median, standard deviation) = (27.95, 27, √6.1475)

1. False. Data Set B is skewed to the right.
2. TRUE. 27.95 is within 3 of 29.7.
3. False. √12.71 ≠ √6.1475
4. False. The mean of Data Set A is 29.7.
5. False. Data Set A has the higher standard deviation.
6. TRUE. 29.7 is close to 29.5.

The true statements are
• the 2nd one
• the 6th one

So there are 4 sides. 32 divided by 4 is 8, so each side is 8 feet long. So it would be 1/3 of 1/4.

Someone please help me what is (m - 5) divided by 4 where 5 = 17
Softa [21]
If you mean where m=17 then the answer is 3 because 17-5 is 12 and 12/4 is 3.
