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).

A market sells strawberries for $2.00 per pint. Makayla is going to graph this relationship on the coordinate grid below
maks197457 [2]

Answer:

The point which represents the cost of 4 pints is:

                      (4,8)        

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

A market sells strawberries for $2.00 per pint.

Then, cost of 4 pints= $ 4×2.00

                                 = $8.00

The point on the x coordinate represents number of pints

and the point on the y coordinate represents the cost in dollars

Hence, the point which represents the cost of 4 pints is:

                      (4,8)

Which of the following equations correctly represents the law of sines?
nignag [31]
It seems as if D is the answer
The law of sines is usually written as
[sin (A) / a] = [sin (B) / b] which can be manipulated algebraically as
[b * sin (A) / sin (B)] = a
