Answer:

Similarities

1. Adding or subtracting a number from both sides.

2. Multiplying or dividing both sides by a positive number.

3. Applying an increasing function to both sides.

4. Simplifying one or both sides.

Differences

1. Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number changes the direction of an inequality. So we cannot multiply or divide both sides by a variable unless we know that the variable is either always positive or always negative. This is not a concern when solving equalities.

2. When applying a decreasing function to both sides of an inequality, the direction of the inequality changes.

3. Swapping both sides of an inequality also changes the direction of an inequality. Again we don't have to worry about this with equalities.

Answer:

Yes, x and y have a proportional relationship.

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship means that, when comparing two quanities, that they are both changing at a constant (same) amount. When looking at a table to compare quantities, you can see that the pounds of tomatoes 'x' is increasing by one (1) each time. If you look at the amount spent in dollars 'y', you can see that for each pound (x), the cost is increasing by $4. So, since for every pound of tomatoes that is purchased increases by $4, then their relationship is proportional.

Ted and Meg have each drawn a line on the scatter plot shown below:

Answer:

A.)Line P, because it is closest to most data points

Step-by-step explanation:

The line of best fit is a line which best represents the data and the data points are closely related to it.

It is also known as a trend line.

The line of best fit may pass through, some , none or all of the data points.

Also if the scatter plot does not pass through all the data point then the magnitude of positive residual must be approximately equal to the magnitude of negative residual of the data points.

Hence, by looking at the scatter plot we see that all the data points lie above Line R.

Hence, the Line R will not be a line of best fit.

But all the data points lie close to the line P , hence it act as a line of best fit.
