Answer: Choice A
y=0.0714x-9.2682
==============================================
Explanation:
I used GeoGebra (free graphing software) to find the line of best fit, aka the regression line. You can do so by hand, but I think it's tedious busywork and prefer to use technology whenever possible. Other graphing and spreadsheet programs are able to compute the regression line as well.

Answer: 12 inches
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.
Area = median · height
We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.
So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.
The slope, m, is given by the equation m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are points on the graph. Thus:
m = (-18-(-18))/(-15-12)
= (-18+18)/-27
= 0/27 = 0
Therefor the slope is 0
