Answer:

There is a linear correlation between the number of doughnuts Homer eats and his weight. If Homer wants to lose weight, he should eat less doughnuts. If Homer graphed this relationship on a scatterplot, an increase on the y axis would lead to an increase on the x axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that doughnuts have a high content of fat and sugar, they are well proved to be fattening foods. Indeed, one would expect that the more doughnuts are consumed per time unit, the more body weight will increase.

Mathematically, both variables (amount of doughnuts consumed and body weight) will behave the same way: an increase in one of them will led to an increase in the other one. The independent variable is the amount of doughnuts consumed by Homer (per unit time), as this is independent on anything else for this given problem, while the body weight is the dependent variable for its will respond to the increase in the amount of doughnuts consumed.

Graphically, the independent variable is plotted on the "<em>y</em>" axis, while the dependent variables is placed on the "<em>x</em>" axis.

Thus, when the relation between both variables is plotted, a straight-line relationships is expected. This is called a linear correlation, and it is interpreted as mentioned above: when the independent variable increases, the dependent variable increases as well, while a decrease in the independent variable leads to a decrease in the dependent one.

The lowest number is 11 the range is 13 and the median is 17 what are the 3 numbers
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

11, 17, and 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y, z\\

Lowest number is x

Median is y

Highest number is z

x=11\\y=17\\\\z-x=17\\z-11=17\\z-11+11=17+11\\z=28\\\\x=11\\y=17\\z=28\\\\11, 17, 28

Can anyone help me with THIS and the other TWO‼️PLEASE I’m really need HELP
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

y = 3x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

It is helpful to be acquainted with the parts of at least a couple of different forms of the equation for a line.

You are given the equation of a line in "slope-intercept" form. It looks like ...

... y = mx + b . . . . . . . where m=-1/3 and b=-1

The coefficient of x, which is m, is the slope of the line. That is -1/3 for the given line.

The relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines is that they multiply to give -1. We say each is the opposite reciprocal of the other. If we let "m" stand for the slope of the perpendicular line, it satisfies the equation ...

...(m)(-1/3) = -1

... m = -1/(-1/3) = 3 . . . . . the slope of the perpendicular line is 3.

____

Here's where another form of the equation for a line is useful. We can write the "point-slope" form* as ...

... y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . for a line of slope m through point (h, k)

We want our line of slope = 3 to go through the point (1, 5), so its equation can be ...

... y = 3(x -1) +5 . . . . . . . variation of "point-slope" form

The given equation is in slope-intercept form, and the question asks for "the" equation of the line, so we probably should write our answer in the same form as the given equation. We can do this by eliminating the parentheses and simplifying the equation we have.

... y = 3x -3 +5 . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property

... y = 3x +2 . . . . . . collect terms

The graph shows our result is at least plausible: it looks like it is perpendicular, and it goes through the given point.

___

<em>*Comment on point-slope form</em>

Usually, you will see "point-slope" form written as ...

... y -k = m(x -h) . . . . . . . . standard version of "point-slope" form

When our intent is to use this form to get to slope-intercept form, it is more convenient to add k to this equation to get ...

... y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . . . occasionally useful version
