The data has been properly arranged in tabular form and is shown below in the image.

First we need to find the mean and median of scores of both students.

1) For Amo:
Mean = \frac{97+92+89+55+90}{5}=84.6
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 90

2) For Javier:
Mean =\frac{68+97+65+92+95}{5}=83.4
Median = Middle Value when data is arranged in ascending order = 92

For both the students, value of Median is larger then the mean. So in order to give the best possible grade Mr. Malloy should use the median score for both students.

HIJK is a parallelogram because the midpoint of both diagonals is ____ which means the diagonals bisect each other.
just olya [345]
ANSWER

The midpoint of both diagonals is

(1,0)
EXPLANATION

We can use either diagonals to determine the midpoint.

We use the midpoint formula

( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2} , \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} )

Let us use the first diagonals H(-2,2) and J(4,-2)

( \frac{ - 2 + 4}{2} , \frac{ - 2+ 2}{2} )

( \frac{ 2}{2} , \frac{ 0}{2} )

( 1, 0)

Using the second diagonals also gives,

( \frac{ - 2 + 4}{2} , \frac{ - 3+ 3}{2} )

( \frac{ 2}{2} , \frac{ 0}{2} )

( 1, 0)

The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation an
finlep [7]
Helena is correct in saying that the point-slope form will generate the equation. The point-slope form is written as:


y-y₁ = m(x-x₁), where,
m = (y₂-y₁)/(x₂-x₁) is the slope of the line
(x₁,y₁) and (x₂,y₂) are the coordinates of the two points


On the other hand, the slope-intercept form is written as:


y = mx + b, where,
m is the slope of the line
b is the y-intercept


In this case, since only two points were given, the y-intercept of the line is not readily known. Thus, it is only through the point-slope form that the equation of the line can be determined. This is because it only requires the substitution of the x and y-coordinates of the points in the equation. 
The equation of a line given two points needs to be found. Samuel claims that slope-intercept form will generate the equation and Helena claims that point-slope form will find the equation. Who is correct? Explain your reason by describing both forms.

Milton spilled some ink on his homework paper. He can't read the coefficient of $x$, but he knows that the equation has two dist
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Sum = -81

Step-by-step explanation:

See the comment for complete question.

Given

c = 36 ----- Constant

No coefficient of x^2

Required:

Determine the sum of all distinct positive integers of the coefficient of x

Reading through the complete question, we can see that the question has 3 terms which are:

x^2 ---- with no coefficient

x ---- with an unknown coefficient

36 ---- constant

So, the equation can be represented as:

x^2 + ax + 36 = 0

Where a is the unknown coefficient

From the question, we understand that the equation has two negative integer solution. This can be represented as:

x = -\alpha and x = -\beta

Using the above roots, the equation can be represented as:

(x + \alpha)(x + \beta) = 0

Open brackets

x^2 + (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0

To compare the above equation to x^2 + ax + 36 = 0, we have:

a = \alpha + \beta

\alpha \beta = 36

Where: \alpha, \beta and \alpha \ne \beta

The values of \alpha and \beta that satisfy \alpha \beta = 36 are:

\alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

\alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

\alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

\alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

So, the possible values of a are:

a = \alpha + \beta

When \alpha = -1 and \beta = -36

a = -1 - 36 = -37

When \alpha = -2 and \beta = -18

a = -2 - 18 = -20

When \alpha = -3 and \beta = -12

a = -3 - 12 = -15

When \alpha = -4 and \beta = -9

a = -4 - 9 = -13

At this point, we have established that the possible values of a are: -37, -20, -15 and -9.

The required sum is:

Sum = -37 -20 -15 - 9

Sum = -81
