The slope of the line of best fit to the raw-score scatter plot is 0.98

The equation is y = 0.98x - 3.74
The value of y given that x = 12 is 8.02

<h3>How to determine the slope of the line?</h3>

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Standard deviations of X, Sx = 1.88
Standard deviations of Y, Sy =2.45
Correlation coefficient, r between X and Y = 0.75

The slope (b) of the line is calculated as

b = r * Sy/Sx

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

b = 0.75 * 2.45/1.88

Evaluate

b = 0.98

<h3>The equation of the line of best fit</h3>

A linear equation is represented as

y = bx + c

Where

Slope = b

y-intercept = c

In (a), we have

b = 0.98

So, we have

y = 0.98x + c

Recall that the point (13, 9) is on the line of best fit.

So, we have

9 = 0.98 * 13 + c

This gives

9 = 12.74 + c

Evaluate

c = -3.74

So, we have

y = 0.98x - 3.74

<h3>The value of y from x</h3>

Here, we have

x = 12

So, we have

y = 0.98 x 12 - 3.74

Evaluate

y = 8.02

Andre bought a new bag of cat food. The next day, he opened it to his cat. The graph shows how many ounces was left in the bag o

Viktor [21]

Answer:

There were 16 ounces of Cat Food after 24 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph attached,

For an ordered pair (x, y) lying on the graph,

x-coordinate represents the number of days since bag was bought and y- coordinate represents the ounces of cat food required.

Now the value x = 24 on x-axis shows the number of days since the bag was bought.

For x = 24, ounces of cat food in the bag ( y ) = 16 ounce

Therefore, 16 ounces of Cat Food were in the bag after 24 days since it was bought.

There are two jobs you can apply for. the first job pays $22,000 the first year, with raises of $4,000 each year thereafter. the

jasenka [17]

We let the number of years that the two jobs will have the same payment be denoted as t. Equating the wages of these two jobs after t - 1 years will give us an equation of,
22,000 + 4000(t -1) = 26,000 + 2000(t - 1)
The value of t from the generated equation is 3. Therefore, after 3 years the jobs will be paying the same wages.
