Answer: The equation of the trend line is y = -2x + 24.
First, we need to find the slope. The slope is the change in y over the change in x between the points. Our points move down 4 units while moving right 2 units. So our slope would be -4/2 or just -2.
Second, we need to find the y-intercept. We are lucky because the y-intercept can be see clearly in the graph. It is (0, 24).
We can put the slope and y-intercept together to get the equation:
y = -2x + 24.
There are many ways to solve number 5 as it is just an reduce/enlargement of equidistant fractions
The first method that came up to my mind is just dividing denominators.
For A) you can do 72 divided by 18 which would give you 4. Then you can divide the given numerator with the answer you got from dividing the denominators. This would be 8 divided by 4 which would give you two. This means that 2/18 is equal to 8/72. You can check by simplifying the fraction. Both 2/18 and 8/72 equal 9 when simplified, therefore correct.
You can use this method for b, either use a calculator because of the decimals or just remove the decimals and replace them later. Make sure when you use this method, you are always dividing the bigger number. So in B you would do 40.3 divided by 12.4
