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

Dimas [21]

Answer:

y = 5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

y - 4 = 5(x - 0)

That is point-slope form. I'm not sure if you want it in slope intercept form, but slope intercept form of the equation is -

y = 5x + 4

4x-y=10 as coordinates with the y as -6
IgorC [24]

Answer:

(1,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - y = 10

4x -(-6) = 10

4x + 6 = 10

    - 6    - 6

4x = 4

/4    /4

x = 1

(x, y) -> (1,-6)

Check your answer:

4x - y = 10

4(1) - (-6) = 10

4 + 6 = 10

10 = 10

This statement is correct

Hope this helps!

Use proportions.
x 4
------- = ------
4,200 100

4,200 x 4 = 16800
100 multiply x = 100x
16800 divided by 100 = 168
Commission = $168
Base salary = $257
$168 + $257 = $425

A gardener already has four and one over 2 ft of fencing in his garage. He wants to fence in a square garden for his flowers. Th
NikAS [45]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

6\frac{1}{2}<u>, "six and one over two ft".</u>

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

Let's considerate the fact that the garden has a <u>square shape</u>.

<h3>1. Finding values of interest.</h3>

Amount of fence that the gardener already has: 4\frac{1}{2} ft.

Length of one side: 2\frac{3}{4} ft.

If one side measures 2\frac{3}{4} ft, and the square garden has 4 sides of equal length, because it's a square, then we must multiply the measure of one side by 4 to find the total length of fence needed:

4*(2\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\4*(2+\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\(4*2)+(4*\frac{3}{4})=\\ \\8+(\frac{12}{4} )=\\ \\8+3=\\ \\11

<h3>2. How much more does he need?</h3>

The gardener already has  4\frac{1}{2} , which equals 4 + \frac{1}{2}. Hence, the difference between the amount needed and the amount that the gardeneralready has will give us the remaining amount required. Let's do that:

11-(4+\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-(\frac{8}{2} +\frac{1}{2} )=\\ \\11-\frac{9}{2}= \\ \\\frac{22}{2} -\frac{9}{2}=\\\\ \frac{13}{2}

<h3>3. Express your result.</h3>

\frac{13}{2} =\\ \\\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{2}{2} +\frac{1}{2}= \\ \\6+\frac{1}{2}=\\ \\6\frac{1}{2}

a farmer bought a number of pigs for $180. However, 3 of them died before he could sell the rest at a profit of 8 per pig. His t
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

He bought approximately 16 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625
