Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First rearrange them in an ascending order as seen below.

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8

Then cancel the number from the left until the right

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8

5, 5, 6, 6, 8

5, 6, 6

Which means 6 is the median which is just the middlemost number

In another set of numbers if the middle number are two, just add the two number and divide by 2.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a list of numbers is the number found in the "middle" of all the numbers. What this means is that it has the same amount of numbers larger and smaller than it in the list. To find the median, we first have to organize the list from least to greatest. Doing this, we get 3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8.

Now that we have the list, we can find the "middle number" by taking off numbers the highest number then the lowest number. Doing this we get

3, 5, 5, 6, 6, 8, 8

5, 5, 6, 6, 8

5, 6, 6

This means our median is 6.

Find the equation of a line that passes through the point (3,1) and has a gradient of -3. Leave your answer in the form y = m x

Bingel [31]

Answer:

$y = (-3)\, x + 10$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The question requires that the equation should be in the slope-intercept form $y = m \, x + c$ . The $m$ and $c$ in this equation are constants. In particular:

$m\!$ would represent the slope of this line (also known as the gradient of this line,) whereas
$c$ would be the $y$ -intercept of this line.

The question states that the slope of this line is $(-3)$ . Therefore, $m = -3$ . Thus, the equation for this line should be in the form $y = (-3)\, x + c$ .

The value of constant $c$ could be found using the other piece of information: the point $(3,\, 1)$ is in this line. In other words, the solution $\text{$x = 3$ and $y = 1$}$ should satisfy the equation $y = (-3)\, x + c$ .
