Answer:  The correct option is

(A) y=-3.5x+57.5.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the equation for the linear model in the scatter plot obtained by choosing the two points closest to the line.

From the table and the scatter plot sown in the figure, we note that

the two points that are closest to the line are (5, 40) and (15, 5).

We know that

the slope of a line passing through the points (a, b) and (c, d) is given by

m=\dfrac{d-b}{c-a}.

So, the slope of the given line will be

m=\dfrac{5-40}{15-5}=-\dfrac{35}{10}=-3.5.

Since the point (5, 40) is very close to the line, so its equation will be

y-40=m(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow y-40=-3.5(x-5)\\\\\Rightarrow y=-3.5x+17.5+40\\\\\Rightarrow y=-3.5x+57.5.

Thus, the required equation for the linear model is y=-3.5x+57.5.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Answer:

30.96 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of the square is also the diameter of the semicircle so:

r = 0.5 * 12 m = 6 m

Since you want the area of the shaded area, you have to subtract the area of both semi circles from the area of the square:

Square Area - Semi Circle Area - Semi Circle Area = Shaded Region Area

(12 m * 12 m) - (0.5 * 3.14 * 6^2 m) - (0.5 * 3.14 * 6^2 m)

= 144 - 56.52 - 56.52

= 30.96 m^2

15 points! please answer all questions
Anton [14]
1. A.
x parrot fish + y triggerfish = 320 total fish. 
y = 7x shows that there are 7 times as many triggerfish.
2. C
x + y shows a total score of 425.
y = 2x - 70 shows that Michael's score, y, is 70 less (minus) than twice Kathryn's 
3. write two equations
x + y = 27 total feet
2x + 3 = y
Substitute 2x + 3 for y in the first equation
x + (2x + 3) = 27
3x + 3 = 27
3x = 24
x = 8
Substitute 8 in to either equation to find the other length.
8 + y = 27
y = 19
The shorter piece is 8 and the longer piece is 19
4. x + y = 3200 people -> y = 3200-x
8x + 12y = 33,040 dollars
8x + 12(3200 - x) = 33040
8x + 38400 - 12x = 33040
-4x = -5360
x = 1340 (1340 children)
1340 + y = 3200
y = 1860 adults
5. I don't think the numbers for this were put in correctly because I get a decimal and a negative number when I solve for it but hopefully if you do get the correct cost/amount of coins you will understand this well enough to do it on your own. Hope I helped!
