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.

Write the equation of this line in Point-Slope Form.​
Leona [35]

Answer:

y -3 = (-1/2)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of line:  Notice that if we go from 7 to 5, the 'run' is -2 and the corresponding 'rise' from 2 to 3 is 1.  Thus, the slope is m = -1/2.

Using m = -1/2 and the point (5, 3), we write the equation of this line in point-slope form as:

y -3 = (-1/2)(x - 5)

26 divided by 5 1/2 I dont know!!
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

4.727

Step-by-step explanation:

An easy way to think of something being divided by a fraction is by turning the fraction into a decimal. In this case, it's 5 1/2, which is the same as 5.5. So, you can just calculate 26 / 5.5, by hand, or on a calculator, and the answer is 4.727.
