1 and they split the other in half
B. (6, -8)
First, you need to figure out the slope of the line
(y1 - y2) / (x1 - x2)
After substituting points D(-3, 4) A(3, -4)
[4 - (-4)] / (-3 - 3)
(8) / (-6)
The slope of the line is -8/6 or -4/3 simplified
Then you can put it in point slope form:
(y - y1) = m(x - x1)
(y - y1) = -4/3(x - x1)
The point that I am using for point slope form is A(3, -4)
[y - (-4)] = -4/3(x - 3)
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
Next you have to simplify the equation so that y is isolated
y + 4 = -4/3(x - 3)
First distribute the -4/3
y + 4 = -4/3(x) + (-4/3)(-3)
y + 4 = -4/3x + 4
Subtract 4 on both sides
y + 4 - 4 = -4/3x + 4 - 4
y = -4/3x
Now that you have y = -4/3x, you can substitute the values until one of them makes the equation equal
For example) (6, -8)
-8 = -4/3(6)
-8 = -8
So since (6, -8) fits in the slope intercept equation, it must me collinear with points A and D
~~hope this helps~~
Simply divide 3,475 by 5 to get 695 units per hour (you did not specify the distance unit, but i assume it might be miles per hour.)
Answer:
1. Data point A
4. Data point D
Step-by-step explanation:
In a scatter plot, the closer the clustered data points are close to the best line of fit, the greater the correlation that would exist between the two variables.
If we are to draw a best line of fit in the scatter plot that is shown above, the closest data points amongst data points A, B, C, D, and E, that would be close to the best line of fit are data points A and D.
Therefore, removing data point A and point D would cause the correlation to decrease the most.
