A scatterplot is used to display data for a runner where x is the number of miles run, and y is the time, in minutes, that it ta

kes to run that distance.
Which interpretation describes a line of best fit of y = 9.5x for the data in the scatterplot?
For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles.
For each 9.5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile.
The minimum distance with a recorded time is 9.5 miles.
The maximum distance with a recorded time is 9.5 miles.

The interpretation of y = 9.5x is that: (a) For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles.

<h3>How to interpret the equation?</h3>

The equation of the line of best fit is given as:

y = 9.5x

Divide both sides by x

9.5 = y/x

From the question, we have:

  • x ⇒ number of miles run
  • y ⇒ time

This means that:

9.5 = number of miles run/time

Hence, the interpretation of y = 9.5x is that: (a) For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles.

A)

y  varies inversely as (x-1).

Implies    y  α  1/(x -1)

                 y =  k/(x-1).        Where k is constant of proportionality.

                 y*(x - 1) = k

when y = 12, x = 1/2

12*(1/2 - 1) = k

12*(0.5 - 1) = k

k = 12*(-0.5) = -6.

k = -6.

Equation connecting x and y

  y*(x - 1) = k,          recall k = -6

  y*(x - 1) = -6

b)

when x = a.

y*(x - 1) = -6

y*(a - 1) = -6

y = -6 / (a -1)

when x = 2a.

y*(2a - 1) = -6

y = -6 / (2a -1)

Difference in y is 1.8

-6 / (2a -1)  -  -6/(a - 1) = 1.8

-6 / (2a -1)  + 6/(a - 1) = 1.8

6 / (a -1) - 6 /(2a -1) = 1.8

6( 1/(a-1) -  1/(2a - 1)) = 1.8

1/(a-1) -  1/(2a - 1) = 1.8/6

1/(a-1) -  1/(2a - 1) = 0.3

((2a - 1) - (a - 1)) / ((a-1)(2a -1)) = 0.3

(2a - 1 -a + 1) /((a-1)(2a -1)) = 0.3

a / (2a² - 3a + 1) = 0.3

a/0.3 = 2a² - 3a + 1

10a/3 = 2a² - 3a + 1

2a² - 3a + 1 = 10a/3

2a² - 3a -10a/3 + 1 = 0

2a² - 19a/3 + 1 = 0

6a² - 19a + 3 = 0

This is a quadratic expression which can be factored.

6a² - 18a - a + 3 = 0

6a(a - 3) - 1(a - 3) = 0

(6a - 1)(a - 3) = 0         

6a - 1 = 0      a = 1/6

a - 3 = 0   a = 3.

a = 3  or  1/6

Since a is positive integer, a = 3 only.

Ryan played in 3 basketball games. He scored 18 points in the first game and 12 points in the second game. If he scored 42 point

The correct answer for this very hard equation would happen to be 12 because 18+12 happens to equal 30 and 42-30 just so happens to equal 12
