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.
Close.. it's actually 540 in² Area is always given in square units of measure
To find the mean you add all the numbers and divide it by the amount of numbers there is so add
6+9+15+22+30+36=118
there is 6 number so divide 118 by 6
118/6=<span>19.6666666667 rounded to the nearest tenth it would be 20
So your mean would be 20
let me know if you have any questions</span>

Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the given function at the point, we have ...
f(-1) = a(-1)^2 +1 = 4
a +1 = 4
a = 3
The value of 'a' is 3.
