Answer:

A. linear

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear model is the best-fitting regression model for the data plot because for similar variations in x values, the variation in y values are also similar, that is, if you take points (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) the y1 - y2 is similar to y2 - y3, when x2 - x1 is also similar to x3 - x2.

Answer:

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}A\left( \boxed{3} , \boxed{8} \right)&B\left( \boxed{9} , \boxed{6} \right )\\\\C\left( \boxed{1} , \boxed{4} \right)&D\left( \boxed{7} , \boxed{2} \right )\end{array}\right$

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates are:

$\left\begin{array}{ccc}A\left( \boxed{3} , \boxed{8} \right)&B\left( \boxed{9} , \boxed{6} \right )\\\\C\left( \boxed{1} , \boxed{4} \right)&D\left( \boxed{7} , \boxed{2} \right )\end{array}\right$

The parallelogram is attached below.

To verify if these coordinates form a parallelogram, we show that:

AB=CD; and
AC=BD

Using Distance Formula

$AB = \sqrt{(6-8)^2+(9-3)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2+(6)^2} = \sqrt{40} $ units$

$CD = \sqrt{(2-4)^2+(7-1)^2} = \sqrt{(-2)^2+(6)^2} = \sqrt{40} $ units$

$AC = \sqrt{(8-4)^2+(3-1)^2} = \sqrt{(4)^2+(2)^2} = \sqrt{20} $ units$

$BD = \sqrt{(6-2)^2+(9-7)^2} = \sqrt{(4)^2+(2)^2} = \sqrt{20} $ units$

Since AB=CD; and AC=BD, the coordinates A, B, C, and D form the vertex of a parallelogram.

What are the coordinates of point Q?

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Q (-4, -2); 2 units; Q' will be above the x-axis; 2 unites; no; yes, the y coordinates are multiplied by -1; Q' (-4, 2); R' (-2, 2), S' (1, 5), T' (-2, 5);

Step-by-step explanation:

even after a reflection over the x-axis, each points distance from the x-axis will stay the same

the x-coordinates don't change because the distance from the y-axis stays the same

the picture below shows points of Q'R'S'T', just connect the vertices
