gradient of L = -7/4

Explanation:

$\sf gradient = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

<u>Insert the following values.</u>

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{2-(-5)}{1-5}$

$\rightarrow \sf \dfrac{7}{-4}$

$\rightarrow \sf -\dfrac{7}{4}$

<h3>hello!</h3>

Use the slope formula:-

(the slope is the same as the gradient)

$\sf{\displaystyle\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1} }$

$\sf{\displaystyle\frac{2-(-5)}{1-5}}$

$\sf{\displaystyle\frac{2+5}{-4} }=\frac{7}{-4} ={\boxed{-\frac{7}{4} }}\leftarrow\sf{slope~of~line~L}}}$

Hope everything is clear; if you need any clarification/explanation, kindly let me know, and I will comment and/or edit my answer :)

Answer:

The claim made by the researcher lacks the validity on basis of reasons as indicated in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The claim made by the researcher is not valid on basis of following reasons:

Interacting variables are not mapped accurately. The additional variables as the health status of the volunteers, eating and fitness habits are not considered in the consideration. This results in a in complete validation.
The placebo effect is not catered accordingly. As the half of the volunteers are taking nothing, this is not the direct influence of the placebo and thus double-blinded testing for placebo effect is to be ensured in future experiments.
The environmental effects are not considered as the effect under study is dependent on the environmental effects, thus the claim is biased and the generalization is not valid.

The exponential graph is shown below.

The initial value when the time is zero is 70000. An initial value is normally shown as the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

If the initial value was to be 50000, the curve would have crossed the y-axis at 50000
