No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation.

The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well. It does not state what causes it.

Which equation represents the line with a slope of 5/6 that passes through the point (-2, 1)?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope m = 5/6

The points (-2,1)

So; y1 = 1 and x1 = -2

The equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 5/6(x + 2)

Multiply each term by 6

6y - 6 = 5(x + 2)

6y - 6 = 5x + 10

6y = 5x + 10 + 6

6y = 5x + 16

- 5x + 6y = 16

Multiplying by minus

5x - 6y = -16

Solve the system by substitution.<br> y = 3x + 14<br> y = X

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\boxed{x = -7~~and~~ y =-7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 3x + 14

y = x

x = 3x + 14

3x - x = -14

2x = -14

$x = \frac{-14}{2}$

x = -7

y = x

y = -7
