Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 4 = - 7
Carry over the - 4 and make x the subject.
x= - 7 + 4
x= - 3
Therefore x is - 3
Answer:
r>4
Step-by-step explanation:
-3r+5<-7
-3r+5-5 <-7-5
-3r<-12
-3r/3
12/3
r>4
Part A
Correlation coefficient: -.99
This tells us that as time goes on (value of x increases) the area of the puddle goes down (value of y decreases)
Part B
y₂ - y₁
------- = slope
x₂ - x₁
9 - 15
--------
5 - 8
-6/-3 = 2
So the slope equals -2, regardless of the fact that we got 2 as an answer there, we know that it is a negative slope
Part C
The data represents causation because an increase in the value of x results in a decrease in the value of y, this shows an example of direct causation between x and y.
