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

Answer:

  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.

Find the area of the circle. Leave your answer in terms of pi
puteri [66]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since area of a circle is pi.r^2

We know that diameter is 20

Radius is half of diameter

So it becomes

Pi.(d/2)^2

So pi.(40/4) is the area of this circle.

Or 40pi/4

Chad drove 168 miles in 3 hours. How many miles per hour did chad drive? Chad will drive 672 more miles. He continues to drive a
larisa86 [58]

168/3 = 56

<em>Therefore, Chad is driving the car in 56 mph.</em>

672/56 = 12

<em>Therefore, Chad drives 672 miles in 12 hours.</em>

308/11 = 28

<em>Therefore, Chad drives 28 miles per gallon of gas.</em>

672/28 = 24

<em>Therefore, Chad uses 24 gallons of gas to drive 672 miles.</em>

Which graph represents the function f(x) = |x + 3|?
Sophie [7]
Answer: (B)
Explanation: If you are unsure about where to start, you could always plot some numbers down until you see a general pattern.

But a more intuitive way is to determine what happens during each transformation.
A regular y = |x| will have its vertex at the origin, because nothing is changed for a y = |x| graph. We have a ray that is reflected at the origin about the y-axis.

Now, let's explore the different transformations for an absolute value graph by taking a y = |x + h| graph.
What happens to the graph?
Well, we have shifted the graph -h units, just like a normal trigonometric, linear, or even parabolic graph. That is, we have shifted the graph h units to its negative side (to the left).

What about the y = |x| + h graph?
Well, like a parabola, we shift it h units upwards, and if h is negative, we shift it h units downwards.

So, if you understand what each transformation does, then you would be able to identify the changes in the shape's location.
