The graph below shows a line of best fit for the relationship between the number of tickets that Brittany has and the number of

rides she goes on at the state fair. Different rides require different amounts of tickets.
The line of best fit used to model the data is shown below.

y = -4.64x + 47.6

Which of the following statements is true for the above graph?

A.
The slope means that for every three tickets, Brittany goes on 14 rides.
B.
The y-intercept means that Brittany will run out of tickets after going on about 48 rides.
C.
The slope means that for every three rides, Brittany uses about 14 tickets.
D.
The y-intercept means that Brittany spent $48 on tickets.

Answer:

C.  

The slope means that for every three rides, Brittany uses about 14 tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line of best-fit is

y = -4.64x + 47.6

Y-intercept is the point where x is zero. For the given equation y-intercept will be 47.6 or 48 rounded to nearest dollar. In other words, y-intercept is also a point where the line cross the y-axis.

From the given graph we can see that the y-axis shows the number of tickets purchased. The point where the line cross y-axis is about 48.

This tells us that Brittany had 48 tickets when she did not take any ride.

In this case, the slope of the line tells us that how many tickets were used for one ride, as x represents the number of rides. For one ride 4.64 tickets were, for 2 rides 2 x 4.64 = 9.28 tickets were used, for 3 rides 13.92 or around 14 tickets were used.

Now if we look at the given options we can easily say the option C is the correct answer.

Option A is not correct as it gives the opposite information than the actual one. Option B is also wrong, as x-intercept will tell us after how many rides the tickets will expire. Option D is wrong as y-intercept gives the number of tickets not the amount of money.

How many complete rotations will the bowling ball make if it rolls straight down the center of the entire length of the lane. A.
jasenka [17]
<h3>Answer: C) 26 complete rotations</h3>

===========================================

Explanation:

The diameter of the ball is 8.5 inches. So d = 8.5

The circumference of the circle with this diameter is

C = pi*d

C = pi*8.5

C = 8.5pi

C = 26.7035375555132 approximately.

This is the rough distance it travels in one revolution or one full rotation.

--------------

1 revolution = 26.7035375555132 inches

(1/26.7035375555132) revolution = 1 inch

1 inch = (1/26.7035375555132) revolution

1 inch = 0.03744822190398 revolution

There are 12 inches a foot, so,

1 inch = 0.03744822190398 revolution

12*1 inch = revolution

12 inches = 0.44937866284776 revolution

1 foot = 0.44937866284776 revolution

Now multiply both sides by 60

1 foot = 0.44937866284776 revolution

60*1 foot = 60*0.44937866284776 revolution

60 feet = 26.9627197708657 revolutions

Round down to the nearest whole number to get 26

We can't round to 27 even though we're really close to it. This is because we are looking for the number of whole revolutions the ball makes.

Therefore, 60 linear feet correspond to 26 full rotations of the ball. There's a bit leftover, but it's not enough to make another full rotation.
