l places.
x y
2 30
5 19
7 20
12 9

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

Completely simplify the expression 4x+10+6x+2x4x+10+6x+2x
oksian1 [2.3K]
<span>Simplifying 4x + 20 = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = 6x + -10 Reorder the terms: 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Solving 20 + 4x = -10 + 6x Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-6x' to each side of the equation. 20 + 4x + -6x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 4x + -6x = -2x 20 + -2x = -10 + 6x + -6x Combine like terms: 6x + -6x = 0 20 + -2x = -10 + 0 20 + -2x = -10 Add '-20' to each side of the equation. 20 + -20 + -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: 20 + -20 = 0 0 + -2x = -10 + -20 -2x = -10 + -20 Combine like terms: -10 + -20 = -30 -2x = -30 Divide each side by '-2'. x = 15 Simplifying x = 15</span>
