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

sveta [45]

To find the reciprocal of a fraction, you switch the numerator and denominator, for example the reciprocal of 2/5 is 5/2. With our mixed number, we convert to an improper fraction, 17/3Then we find the reciprocal, which is 3/17. I hope this helps!

<span>Given:

                             visited museum           didn't visit museum      Total

visited zoo                      9                                     14                           23

didn't visit zoo               5                                        2                              7

Total                             14                                     16                           30

Simply look at the table and check the number that corresponds to visitors who visited the museum but did not visit the zoo. The number is 5. 
Divide it by the total number of people surveyed. Total is 30.

Probability visited the museum but did not visit the zoo = 5/30 = 0.16666 or 16.67%</span>

Please help with geometry
Margarita [4]

Step-by-step explanation:

a) gradient= y2-y1/x2-x1

gradient of AB:

gradient=-4-1/2-3

=-5/-1

=5

gradient of BC:

=-5+4/7-2

=-1/5

b) as the priduct of both gradient is -1 ,both lines are perpendicular.

c) as we have seen lines are perpendicular so it is a right angled triangle.
