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

Find major of 1 in the diagram.
34kurt

Answer:

85° (C).

Step-by-step explanation:

35° should go over to the other side of the line:

180 - 35 = 145°

Find angle 1:

145 + 130 + angle 1 = 360°

360° = 275° + angle 1

angle 1 = 360 - 275

angle 1 = 85°

85° which is C is the answer.

How do I solve N(1/5) = 2/15
dem82 [27]
N(1/5) = (2/15)
divide both sides by (1/5)
n = (2/15)/(1/5)
to divide fractions, cross multiply, e.g. (2*5)/(15*1) = 10/15
n = 10/15 = 2/3 or 0.666666.
