The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
the unit of the y coordinates is the distance
the unit of the x coordinates is the time
so
the slope is equal to the speed
units of the slope=units of distance/units of time

therefore

the answer is the option m/s

Answer:

a) $y=-6.254 x +75.064$

b) r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following dataset:

Monthly Sales (Y) Interest Rate (X)

22 9.2

20 7.6

10 10.4

45 5.3

Part a

And we want a linear model on this way y=mx+b, where m represent the slope and b the intercept. In order to find the slope we have this formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=278.65-\frac{32.5^2}{4}=14.5875$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i){n}}=696.9-\frac{32.5*97}{4}=-91.225$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{-91.225}{14.5875}=-6.254$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{32.5}{4}=8.125$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{97}{4}=24.25$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=24.25-(-6.254*8.125)=75.064$

So the line would be given by:

$y=-6.254 x +75.064$

Part b

For this case we need to calculate the correlation coefficient given by:

$r=\frac{n(\sum xy)-(\sum x)(\sum y)}{\sqrt{[n\sum x^2 -(\sum x)^2][n\sum y^2 -(\sum y)^2]}}$

$r=\frac{4(696.9)-(32.5)(97)}{\sqrt{[4(278.65) -(32.5)^2][4(3009) -(97)^2]}}=-0.937$

So then the correlation coefficient would be r =-0.932

The % of variation is given by the determination coefficient given by $r^2$ and on this case $-0.932^2 =0.8687$ , so then the % of variation explained by the linear model is 86.87%.

What is 34% written as a ratio?

ZanzabumX [31]

34% written in decimal form is .34 (by moving the decimal 2 places left).

.34 written as a fraction is 34/100. Reduce the fraction by dividing numerator and denominator by 2 to get 17/50. The ratio is 17:50

Answer:

x>-5

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(x+7)<-10

divide by -5 (and because we divided by a negative number swap the inequality sign)

x+7>2

x> -5

Math property x+(-x)=0

alexira [117]

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Bcs, in the equation x+(-x)=0 you do x-x ( which is basically x+ -x) and they cancel each other out. This means your equation is 0=0
