Answer: Sample answer : a model is an estimate or approximation of a data set. In the real world, there are too many variables to know exactly what will happen. However, if a model is a good fit, then it can be used to make predictions about what will happen. With a useful model, a predicted value should be a good estimate of an observed value.

Basically meaning that no model can exactly be on point with whatever it is modeling. Two things cannot be EXACTLY identical to what they are referring to, but it is saying that some can get close enough to be useful as an example.

Triangle PQR has vertices P(–2, 6), Q(–8, 4), and R(1, –2). It is translated according to the rule (x, y) → (x – 2, y – 16). Wha
Rudik [331]
The point P has coordinates (x,y) = (-2,6) so x = -2 and y = 6

Replace x and y with those values into the rule given
So,
(x,y) ---> (x-2, y-16)
turns into
(-2,6) ---> (-2-2, 6-16) = (-4,-10)

P = (-2,6)
P ' = (-4,-10) 

The answer is -10 because your teacher just wants the y coordinate of point P'

Roger makes 70 gallons of pink paint by mixing 21 gallons of white paint. what part of every gallon is from red paint?
forsale [732]
There are 49 gallons of red paint.
I figured it out by doing the following:

70 \:  -  \: 21 \:  =  \: 49
If you subtract the gallons of pink paint (21) from the total number of gallons (70), then you get the number of gallons of red paint (49) because 49 + 21 = 70. I hope that helps :)
