The EverGlow nuclear power plant releases water into Lake Fishbegone every afternoon at 4:51 p.m. Environmental researchers are

concerned that fish are being driven away from the area around the plant. They believe that the temperature of the water discharged may be a factor. The data table below gives the temperature of the water released by the plant and the measured distance (in meters) from the outflow pipe of the plant to the nearest fish found in the water on several randomly chosen afternoons. A scatterplot of the data and the least-squares regression line are given.
What is the slope of the least-squares regression line? *
A. -74.704
B. 5.791
C. 12.196
D. 0.946

  B.  5.791

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is the coefficient of x in its equation. The equation is ...

  ŷ = -74.704 +5.791x

The coefficient of x, the slope, is 5.791.

What is the solution of the system of equations? Explain.<br> y=1/2x+4<br> 2y+4=x
andrew11 [14]
Y=1/2x+4 and 2y+4=x so substitute y into the second equation to get
2(1/2x + 4) =x
use the distributive property to get x + 8 = x. There is no solution to this equation because x + 8 cannot equal x, and because of this you cannot solve the rest of it so there is no solution.
