Find Slope:
Slope = (5 + 7)/(0 - 4) = -12/4 = -3

Sub slope into general equation:
y = -3x + c

Find y-intercept:
at (0,5),
5 = -3(0) + b
b = 5

Equation :
y = -3x + 5

Answer: y = -3x + 5

The slope intercept form is y=mx+b
The slope formula is m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
So; 5-(-7) / 0-4= -3
Then you use one of the points to find b; I’ll use 0 and 5 (the first number is x and the second number is y)
5=(-3)(0)+b
5=0+b
5=b
Finally you plug in your two values
Y= -3x+5

Hope this helps :)

Tju [1.3M]

Ok so do 100 divided by 77 to get about 1.3% per fruit. then do 1.3 times 53 to get the current percent of oranges which is about 69% then do 84% minus 69% to get the difference then divide by 1.3 to get about 11.5 oranges so you round to 12 oranges. So 12+53 to get 65 total oranges to equal 84% of the 77 fruit in the box.

Evaluate 20 - 3x when x = 2 and when x =3. which gives you the larger value and what is that value?

kvasek [131]

For when x=2, You get 14.
For when x=3, You get 11.
Therefore, x=2 gives a bigger value.

A statistics practitioner in a large university is investigating the factors that affect salary of professors. He wondered if ev

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Given the linear regression of Y: "Annual salary" as a function of X: "Mean score on teaching evaluation" of a population of university professors. It is desired to study whether student evaluations are related to salaries.

The population equation line is

E(Y)= β₀ + β₁X

Using the information of a n= 100 sample, the following data was calculated:

R²= 0.23

Coefficient Standard Error

Intercept 25675.5 11393

x 5321 2119

The estimated equation is

^Y= 25675.5 + 5321X

Now if the interest is to test if the teaching evaluation affects the proffesor's annual salary, the hypotheses are:

H₀: β = 0

H₁: β ≠ 0
