A. The approximate y intercept appears to be about 1.8 (slightly less than 2). What this tells us is that someone with 0 months of practice could expect to win around 1.8 games.

B. Using slope intercept form and assuming that the y intercept is at (0, 1.8), the equation can be solved for by finding the slope first and then putting the slope and the y intercept into the equation.

Slope (m):
points (0, 1.8) and (1, 3.0)
(Y2-y1)/(x2-x1)=(3.0-1.8)/(1-0)=1.2/1=1.2

Equation:
Y=mx+b
Y=1.2x+1.8

<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

<u>PART A:</u>

We know that the y-intercept of a line is the y-value of the point where the x-value is zero i.e. it the place where it intersects y-axis.

Based on the graph we see that  the line of best fit intersects the y-axis very close to 1.8.

Hence, the approximate y-intercept of the line of best fit is: 1.8

It represents that 1.8 baseball games were won when they did not do any practice i.e. initially.

<u>PART B:</u>

We know that the slope-intercept form of a line is given by:

                  y=mx+b

where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept of the line.

The y-intercept here is: 1.8

The line of best fit passes through (0,1.8) and (6,13)

Hence, the slope is:

m=\dfrac{13-1.8}{6-0}\\\\\\m=1.8667

   Hence, the slope intercept form is:

             y=1.8667x+1.8

Now we are asked to find the value of y when x= 13

i.e.

y=1.8667\times 13+1.8\\\\y=26.0671

which is approximately equal to 26 games.

Find the greatest common factor of 210, 84, and 56
mr Goodwill [35]
To get the Greates Common Factor (GCF) of 84 and 210 we need to factor each value first and then we choose all the copies of factors and multiply them: 

<span><span>84:   223 7</span><span>210:   2 357</span><span>GCF:   2 3 7</span></span>

<span>The Greates Common Factor (GCF) is:   2 x 3 x 7 = 42</span>
