3 feet is equal to 1 yard and 3 feet is 36 inches. 288 inches divided by 36 is 8 so 8 yards is equal to 288 inches.
3) This is definitely a positive association, but the question is - is it linear?
Since a somewhat straight line can be drawn through the points, it is linear.
<span>
Answer: positive linear association </span>
4) Find the slope using the formula

m = 43 - 48/ 4 - 2 = -5/2 = -2.5
Negative association, but is it linear? Lets find out
Oh no! It seems that their is not a pattern in the association, so its nonlinear!
Answer: Negative nonlinear association5) <span>

m = 80 - 66/ 5 - 3
m = 14/2
m = 7
Positive! But is it linear??
Let us draw a graph this time.
I know my graph is messy, but can you see the nonlinear-ness? It doesnt form a straight line!
Answer: Positive nonlinear association </span><span>Hope this helped. :) </span>

Answer:
x = -1/2, x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Written in standard form, the equation is ...
2x² -13x -7 = 0
We observe that factors of (2)(-7) that have a sum of -13 are -14 and +1. Rewriting the middle term using these numbers, we have ...
2x² -14x +x -7 = 0
2x(x -7) +1(x -7) = 0 . . . . . factor pairs of terms
(2x +1)(x -7) = 0 . . . . . . . . factored form
The solutions are the values of x that make these factors zero.
2x +1 = 0 ⇒ x = -1/2
x -7 = 0 ⇒ x = 7
The solutions to the quadratic are x = -1/2 and x = 7.
