() for what value of x will 8 and x have the same mean as 27 and 5?

We know the formula for mean is given by

Using the above mentioned formula, the mean of 27 and 5 is given by

Similarly, mean of 8 and x is given by

Now, we have been given that 8 and x have the same mean as 27 and 5. Therefore, we have

Therefore, the x value is 24

the formula of a slope:

from a table we have

substitute:

the slope of f(x) is -1.

the graph of funcfion g(x) is a horizontal line. the slope of a horizontal line is equal 0. therefore the slope of g(x) is 0.

-1 < 0
