Slope = (7-3)/(5-2) = 4/3
<span>passes through the points (2,3) and (5,7).
so
y = mx + b
3 = 4/3(2) + b
3 = 8/3 + b
b = 3 - 8/3
b = 9/3 - 8/3
b = 1/3
equation
y = 4/3x + 1/3</span>
Answer: The regression equation could have a positive or a negative slope
Explanation:
The coefficient of determination is marked as r^2. This is always positive because squaring a negative leads to a positive. Knowing something like r^2 = 0.7 does not tell us whether r itself is positive or negative, so we don't know if the regression line slope is positive or negative. We would need more info.
What? Is that two problems? I'll change my answer, give me my answer.
Answer:
The area would decrease
Step-by-step explanation:
So if the base was 4ft and the height was 2ft then the area would be 8ft^2. because area is base times height. so if 4 times 1/2 is 2 and 2 time 1/2 is 1 so the area would be 2ft^2
