Answer:

2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

x = age

y = average systolic blood pressure

x₁ = 40 years old, y₁ = 110 systolic blood pressure

x₂ = 50 years old, y₂ = 130 systolic blood pressure

\text{Slope of a line}=m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\\Rightarrow m= \frac{130-110}{50-40}\\\Rightarrow\frac{20}{10}\\\Rightarrow m= 2.0

∴ Slope of the regression line is 2.0

Natalija [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 13 + 4x + 2 = 180

Add the like terms,

5x + 15 = 180

Subtract 15 form both sides

5x + 15 - 15 = 180 -15

5x = 165

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 16/5

x = 33
