A. y = -1.893x + 31.901
B. y = 1.893x - 31.901
C. y = 31.901x - 1.893

Answer:

Option: A is the correct answer.

A. y = -1.893x + 31.901

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table of values as:

x         y

2       30

5       19

7       20

12       9

16       2

Now clearly from the set of values we see that with the increasing value of x the y-value is decreasing this means that the correlation is negative.

Hence, the slope of the line of best fit will be negative.

Hence, option: B and option: C are discarded.

Hence, when we plot the data values in a scatter plot.

We see that the equation of line of best fit is:

y=-1.893x+31.901

Linear equations substitution
Nataly_w [17]
For example, y=x+4 and y=5x+2.
That would mean that x+4=y=5x+2.
Simplify it to x+4=5x+2.
x=5x-2
-4x=-2
x=1/2.
Now, plug x into one of the equations.
y=x+4
y=1/2+4
y=9/2.
Therefore, the POI is (1/2,9/2).

Answer:

7033 / 10 000

Step-by-step explanation:

x = .70330

10 000 x = 7033.0   divide both sides by 10 000

x = 7033 / 10 000
