The equation most closely models the line of best fit for the scatter plot is y = 2.5x

<h3>Equation of a line</h3>

A line is the distance between two points. The equation of a line in point-slope form is given as y =mx + b

  • m is the slope
  • b is the intercept


Using the coordinate points on the line (3, 5000) and (9, 20000)

Get the slope

Slope = 20000-5000/9-3
Slope = 15000/6 = 2500

Determine the y-intercept

5000 = 2500(3) + b

b = 5000 - 7500
b = -2500

Determine the equation

y = 2.5x - 2.5

Hence the equation most closely models the line of best fit for the scatter plot is y = 2.5x

If the sum of the measure of two angles in a triangle is 101, then the measure
LiRa [457]

Answer:

79 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is just a rule of trigonometry that all the angles inside ANY triangle will add up to 180 degrees.

There's only 3 possible angles in a triangle, so if you know what the sum of 2 are, its easy to find the last one.

All you have to do is 180 - 101, which equals 79 degrees.

Hope this helped : )
