1) Look for factors that are common to the numerator & denominator

2) Cancel the common factor

3) If possible, look for other factors that are common to the numerator and denominator.

Hope this helps☺

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

$m=\frac{27.75}{375}=0.074$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{150}{12}=12.5$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{28.5}{12}=2.375$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=2.375-(0.074*12.5)=1.45$

So the line would be given by:

$y=0.074 x +1.45$

C. = 1.45 + 0.074x

Step-by-step explanation:

The data given is:

x: 5,5,510,10,10, 15,15,15, 20,20,20

y: 1.6,2.2,1.4, 1.9, 2.4,2.6, 2.3,2.7, 2.8,2.6, 2.9, 3.1

For this case we need to calculate the slope with the following formula:

$m=\frac{S_{xy}}{S_{xx}}$

Where:

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}$

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}$

So we can find the sums like this:

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i = 150$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y_i =28.5$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i =2250$

$\sum_{i=1}^n y^2_i =70.69$

$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i =384$

With these we can find the sums:

$S_{xx}=\sum_{i=1}^n x^2_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)^2}{n}=2250-\frac{150^2}{12}=375$

$S_{xy}=\sum_{i=1}^n x_i y_i -\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^n x_i)(\sum_{i=1}^n y_i)}{n}=384-\frac{150*28.5}{12}=27.75$

And the slope would be:

$m=\frac{27.75}{375}=0.074$

Nowe we can find the means for x and y like this:

$\bar x= \frac{\sum x_i}{n}=\frac{150}{12}=12.5$

$\bar y= \frac{\sum y_i}{n}=\frac{28.5}{12}=2.375$

And we can find the intercept using this:

$b=\bar y -m \bar x=2.375-(0.074*12.5)=1.45$

So the line would be given by:

$y=0.074 x +1.45$

C. = 1.45 + 0.074x

Help plz I need the right answer

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

3 1/5 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

4 units * 4/5 shaded

4*4/5 = 16/5

Changing to a mixed number

5 goes into 16 3 times with 1 left over

3*5 = 15 16-15 = 1

3 1/5 square units
