Verizon [17]3 years ago
7 0

6. The y-intercept is 8

7. the slope is -1/2

8. Equation of line is: y = -\frac{1}{2}x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us define y-intercept first

The y-intercept of the line is where the line intersects the y-axis.

<u>5. What is the y-intercept of the line of best fit?</u>

The given line on graph intersects the y-axis on 8 so the y intercept of the line of best fit is 8

<u>6. What is the slope of the line of best fit for  this scatter plot?</u>

The slope can be calculated by locating two points on line.

In the given line, we can easily observe two points

(2,7) and (4,6)

The slope is calculated by the formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Here (x1, y1) are the coordinates of first point on line and (x2,y2) are the coordinated of second point on line

So, putting the values

m=\frac{6-7}{4-2}\\=\frac{-1}{2}\\=-\frac{1}{2}

<u>7. What is the equation of the line of best fit?</u>

The slope intercept form of any line is given by:

y=mx+b

where m is slope and b is y-intercept of the line

As we already know

m = -1/2 and y-intercept is 8

Putting the values in the equation

y = -\frac{1}{2}x+8

Nataly [62]

Answer:

Cole has 15 pencils.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have the equation c + o =18, c representing cole, and o representing connor.

From there, we get 5o=c

Using substitiution, we get o=3

5(3)=15

15+3=18

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  g(f(7/3)) = 4 4/9

Step-by-step explanation:

  g(f(7/3)) = g((7/3)²) = g(49/9) = 49/9 -1 = 40/9

  g(f(7/3)) = 4 4/9
