Draw a line representing the "rise" and a line representing the "run" of the line. State the slope of the line in simplest form.

Answers

The slope of the line in the given graph = rise/run = 3.

How to Find the Slope of a Line?

To determine the value of the slope of a line on a coordinate plane, we can find the ratio of the rise of the line to that of its run. This means that, the formula for calculating the slope of a line would be:

Slope = rise/run.

Vertical distance across the line is the rise of the line

Horizontal distance across the line is the run of the line

In the graph given, we have:

The rise is labelled as the blue line = 9 units

The run is labelled as the red line = 3 units

Slope of the line (m) = 9 units/3 units

Slope (m) of the given line = 9/3 = 3

Therefore, the slope of the line in the given graph = rise/run = 3.

Write the equation of the line parallel to the line and passing through

Answers

Answer:

y = - 2x + 11

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 2x - 1 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 2

• Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = - 2x + c ← is the partial equation of the parallel line

to find c substitute (4, 3 ) into the partial equation

3 = - 8 + c ⇒ c = 3 + 8 = 11

y = - 2x + 11 ← equation of parallel line

Answers

A scale factor of 2 would be the perfect scale for the scale drawing.

How to interpret Scale Drawing?

We are given original dimensions of  tech fingerboard as;

Length = 100 mm

Width = 25 mm

Now, from conversions we know that;

1 inch = 25.4 mm

Since Giovanni wants to make a larger scale drawing on an 8 1/2 inch by 11-inch piece of paper, then we can say that;

11-inch = 25.4 * 11 = 279.4 mm

8 1/2 inch = 8 1/2 * 25.4 = 215.9 mm

Thus;

New Length/old length = 279.4/100 = 2.794

Since that is the maximum scale for the drawing paper, then we can say that something lesser like a scale factor of 2 would be the perfect scale for the scale drawing.

Inequalities are mathematical expressions in which both sides are not equal. In inequality, unlike in equations, we compare two values. The equal sign in between is replaced by less than (or less than or equal to), greater than (or greater than or equal to), or not equal to sign.

The inequality -2(5 - 4x) < 6x - 4 can be solved as follows:

⇒ -10 + 8x < 6x - 4

⇒ -10 + 8x-8x < 6x - 4-8x (Subtract 8x on both the side of the inequality)

k(8z - 2)=7(8z - 2)^2 + 7

k(8z - 2)=7(8z - 2)(8z - 2) + 7

k(8z - 2)=7(64z^2-32z+4) + 7

k(8z - 2)=7(64z^2-32z+4+1)     ==> 7*1=7, so +1 is added in parentheses while +7 is removed outside of parentheses.

k(8z - 2)=7(64z^2-32z+5)

The side lengths of RS and PR are 12 units

What are similar triangles?

Similar triangles are triangles whose corresponding sides are in proportion to one another.

In most cases, one triangle is dilated to form the other triangle

What is dilation?

Dilation involves enlarging or reducing the side length of a shape to create another shape by a constant scale factor, where the scale factor does not equal one.

How to determine the side length of PR?

The corresponding triangles are given as:

PQR and PSQ

This means that

PQ corresponds to PS

PR corresponds to PQ

QR corresponds to QS

Where

PQ = 18

QR = 14

QS = 21

So, we have:

PR : QR = PQ : QS

This gives

PR : 14 = 18 : 21

Express as fraction

PR / 14 = 18 / 21

Multiply through by 14

PR = 14 * 18 / 21

Evaluate

PR = 12

Angle in a Z shape where the lines of the Z are parralell, the two innercorner angles of the Z must be the same os angle GCE must be 14

In triangle GEC we now know two out of the three angles 78 and 14 and we know that angles in a trianlge add up to 180 so the missing angle GEC must be 180-78-14=88

Reference angle (∅) = 30 degrees.

Opposite side length = 8

Adjacent side length = x = ?

Using the tangent ratio, we have: tan 30 = 8/x

x(tan 30) = 8

Divide both sides by tan 30

x(tan 30)/tan 30 = 8/tan 30

x = 8/tan 30

given values of median, mean, mode, first and third quartiles for the observations of a numeric feature, what insights can we gain into the statistical distribution of its observations?

Answers

Median, mean, mode, first and third quartiles describe a statistical distribution because these are the measures of central tendency and dispersion of a distribution.

Median, mode and mean are known as the measures of central tendency of a statistical distribution. Because these three can even represent the whole data and its properties. Mean, median and mode gives the central value around which the whole distribution lies or its representative value.

Mean: It gives the average value of the distribution. That is the Total value/ Total number of values.

Median: It is a positional average and it is the middle value of the observations in a distribution.

Mode: Mode is also a positional average which gives the most repeated or frequent observation from the distribution

Now the first and third quartiles are measures of dispersion. It gives the variation of data values from the central value. It gives an idea of the scattering of the distribution around the central value.

First quartile: If the n observations are arranged in ascending order, then the n/4th value is the first quartile.

Third Quartile: It is the 3n/4th value in the ordered n observations.

These two are used to measure the quartile deviation from the central value. If the dispersion is large, then the measures of central tendency cannot be a representative value of the distribution.

Using composition formula we get the value of x is 9/16 for G(H(X)) = 32x - 18

What is the composition formula?

In mathematics, composing a function is the process by which two functions, f and g, produce a new function, h, such that h(x) = g(f(x)). This indicates that the function of g is being applied to the function of x. In essence, a function is then applied to the outcome of another function.

We F (2x-18) and G (4x)

By using the composition formula

H(x) = g(f(x))

That is

H(x) = g(2x-18)

      = 2(4x) - 18

      = 8x - 18

If H(x) = 8x - 18

Then, G(H(x))

⇒ G(8x - 18)

⇒ 8(4x) - 18

⇒ 32x - 18

Now, we find x in G(H(x))

⇒ 32x - 18 = 0

⇒ 32x = 18
