The slope is -3/1 so to find other points, go to (2,-1) and go down 3, over 1.
Answer:
3(x-2)(x+5)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Factor out common term 3
3(x^2 +3x-10)
2. Factor (x^2 +3x-10)
3(x-2)(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define
</u>
y = home runs
x = hits
[Best Line of Fit] y = 0.15x - 1.5
<em>We can use this to predict the average of the scatter plot.
</em>
home runs = y = 35
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em><u> hits</u>
-
Substitute [BLF]: 35 = 0.15x - 1.5
- Add 1.5 on both sides: 36.5 = 0.15x
- Divide 0.15 on both sides: 243.333 = x
- Rewrite: x = 243.333
Remember that this is a <em>prediction</em>. According to the best line of fit, we would need approximately ~243 to get 35 home runs.
