Explanation Given Information: The points ( 4 , − 2 ) and ( − 6 , − 8 ) Formula used: The slope of the line that passes through two points ( x 1 , y 1 ) and ( x 2 , y 2 ) is: m = verticle change horizontal change = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1 Calculation: Provided points are ( 4 , − 2 ) and ( − 6 , − 8 ) . Let x 1 = 4 , y 1 = − 2 and x 2 = − 6 , y 2 = − 8 then the slope of line is, m = y 2 − y 1 x

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.

8.2.5 An article in Obesity Research [“Impaired Pressure Natriuresis in Obese Youths” (2003, Vol. 11, pp. 745–751)] described a study in which all meals were provided for 14 lean boys for three days followed by one stress test (with a video-game task). The average systolic blood pressure (SBP) during the test was 118.3 mm HG with a standard deviation of 9.9 mm HG. Construct a 99% one-sided upper confidence interval for mean SBP. 8.2.6 An article in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise [“Maximal Leg-Strength Training Improves Cycling Economy in Previously Untrained Men” (2005, Vol. 37, pp. 131–136)] studied cycling performance before and after 8 weeks of leg-strength training. Seven previously untrained males performed leg-strength training 3 days per week for 8 weeks (with four sets of five replications at 85% of one repetition maximum). Peak power during incremental cycling increased to a mean of 315 watts with a standard deviation of 16 watts. Construct a 95% confidence…
