Which equation best represents the line of best fit for the scatterplot?

Masja [62]

Answer:

The line of best fit would be the line in between all the points in the scatter plot that is the closest to having an equal amount of dots on each side.

If there isn't one with the exact number, pick the one that is the very closest.

Oof this is probably really simple to most of y'all but I'm out of it.

Lelechka [254]

Answers:

angle1 = 156 degrees
angle2 = 24 degrees

=======================================================

Explanation:

The two angles form a straight line, which is 180 degrees

Add up the angle expressions and set the sum equal to 180.

(angle1) + (angle2) = 180

(4x) + (x-15) = 180

(4x+x)-15 = 180

5x-15 = 180

5x = 180+15

5x = 195

x = 195/5

x = 39

We use that x value to find each missing angle

angle1 = 4x = 4*39 = 156 degrees
angle2 = x-15 = 39-15 = 24 degrees

Then notice how angle1+angle2 = 156+24 = 180 to verify the answer.

Side note: Angles that add to 180 are considered supplementary.

Line t intersects line u as shown below What is the value of x

Rudiy27

Answer:

x = 117 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram, the angle at the top left on line t is equal to theta of the top left on line u and is equal to 117 degrees (corresponding angle)

Also the angle angle on the top left on line u will be equal to x (vertically opposite angle)

Hence the value of x = 117 degrees (vertically opposite to each other on line u)

Line p has a slope of -7/8

Alik [6]

Answer:

The slope of line q is $-\frac{7}{8}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that line p has a slope of $-\frac{7}{8}$ , and that line p and line q are parallel. Parallel lines always have the same slope. Thus, the slope of line q must be $-\frac{7}{8}$ as well.
