<span>length of a diagonal of the square = </span>√(12^2 + 12^2)
= √(144 + 144)
= √288
= 16.97 cm
The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:

Explanation:
An exponential function is of the form
, where a is the initial population, b is 1 plus the amount of yearly change, and x is the number of years.
For our problem, a, the initial population, is 1500.
The yearly change is 6.3%; 6.3% = 6.3/100 = 0.063. Since it is decreasing, this is negative; 1+(-0.063) = 0.937.
We use t as the number of years.
This gives us

Step-by-step explanation:
Regression analysis is used to infer about the relationship between two or more variables.
The line of best fit is a straight line representing the regression equation on a scatter plot. The may pass through either some point or all points or none of the points.
<u>Method 1:</u>
Using regression analysis the line of best fit is: 
Here <em>α </em>= intercept, <em>β</em> = slope and <em>e</em> = error.
The formula to compute the intercept is:

Here<em> </em>
and
are mean of the <em>y</em> and <em>x</em> values respectively.

The formula to compute the slope is:

And the formula to compute the error is:

<u>Method 2:</u>
The regression line can be determined using the descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation and correlation.
The equation of the line of best fit is:

Here <em>r</em> = correlation coefficient = 
and
are standard deviation of <em>x</em> and <em>y</em> respectively.

First, divide each side by 4 to get y alone on the left side.
y=-6/4x+2
The y intercept is 2
