B is consider to be the y-intercept. If you plot those two points and draw a line connecting the two. The line would go through (0,14). Making 14 the y-intercept and the correct answer.
Indirect material cost: y
explained by units produced: x
Linear regression. Cost estimation equation: y=mx+b
Constant: b=$15,640
Standard error of y estimate=$3,600
r^2=0.7704
Number of observations: n=22
x coeffient: m=11.25
Standard error of x coefficient=2.19
m=11.25, b=15,640 → y=11.25x+15,640
Answer: The cost estimation equation is y=11.25x+15,640
It's a, because an exponent means it's multiplied by itself that many times. so 3 times 3 is 9 then times 3 again is 27. but negative exponents are always fractions and since the normal number is positive it's D (sorry at first I didn't see d and c)
Answer:
The lines don't intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
isolate the variable y
Divide by 3 both sides
simplify
-----> equation A
Isolate the variable y
Divide by 6 both sides
simplify
-----> equation B
Compare equation A and equation B
The slopes are the same and the y-intercepts are different
Remember that
If two lines has the same slope, then the lines are parallel
therefore
In this problem line A and line B are parallel lines
The system of equations has no solution, because the lines don't intercept
