Step-by-step Answer:

One of the properties of a least-squares regression line (line of best fit) is that the line always passes through the point (xbar, ybar).

Assuming the given "line of best fit" is a least-squares line, then we are given

a slope m=1.885 passing through (x0,y0)=(3.448,12.318).

Applying the standard point-slope formula:

(y-y0) = m (x-x0)

we get

y-12.318 = 1.885(x-3.448)

Expand and simplify,

y=1.885x -1.885*3.448 + 12.318, or

y=1.885(x) + 5.81852

(numbers to be rounded as precision dictates).

The x-intercepts of a quadratic function are −3 and 5. What is the equation of its axis of symmetry?
Reil [10]

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that the axis of symmetry is exactly halfway between the x-intercepts.  Find the average of -3 and 5 to obtain this x-value:  It is:

                         -3 + 5

x - intercept = ------------  =  x = 1

Solve for x. Please:)
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

  x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller triangle and larger one are similar, so corresponding sides are proportional.

  8/4 = (8 +(x -1))/5

  10 = x +7 . . . . . . . . . multiply by 5 and simplify

  3 = x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7

__

<em>Alternate solution</em>

The short segments are also proportional:

  (x -1)/(5 -4) = 8/4

  x -1 = 2 . . . . simplify

  x = 3 . . . . . . add 1

Part C Find the length and width of rectangle NEHI, and calculate its area.
kifflom [539]

Answer:

length of rectangle NEHI = NI = (38 – 8) = 30 feet

width of rectangle NEHI = NE = 5 feet

area of rectangle NEHI = length × width

= 30 × 5

= 150 square feet
