A set of data points has a line of best fit of y=-0.2x+1.8. What is the residual for the point (5,1)?
2 answers:
Hello!
The residual for the point (5,1) is
To calculate residuals, we need to calculate the value of the line of best fit in the same x coordinate as the point we want to study to know the Predicted-y-value. To do so, we make the substitution of 5 into the equation:
Now we determine the residual with the following equation:
Have a nice day!

The fourth coordinate of rectangular piece of material is (2.8 , -2.7)
According to the question,
Charles drew a plan for a rectangular piece of material that he will use for a blanket. Three of the vertices are (-1.4, -2.7), (-1.4,3.7), and (2.8,3.7).
As we know , the opposite sides of rectangle are equal
If we locate these coordinates in our graph and join them
Length of rectangle will be = 2.8+1.4 = 4.2cm
Breadth of rectangle will be = 3.7 + 2.7 = 6.4cm
So, the fourth coordinate should lie 6.4cm far from (2.8,3.7)
Subtracting 6.4 from y-axis,
Fourth coordinate = 3.7 - 6.4
= -2.7
Therefore , The fourth side of rectangle = (2.8 , -2.7)
