The answer should be A. 4.5
Because line x is just over half of the length of the line that is 8ft
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in point- slope form is
y - b = m(x - a)
where m is the slope and (a, b) a point on the line
here m = 4 and (a, b) = (- 3, 7), hence
y - 7 = 4(x - (- 3)), that is
y - 7 = 4(x + 3) ← second equation in the list
(a) How would you characterize the relationship between the hours spent on homework and the test scores? Explain
For this case what we see is that we have a scatter diagram, which we can model using a linear trend defining the following variables:
x: number of hours studied.
y: test scores.
The linear relationship would be of the form:
y = mx + b
(b) Paul uses the function y = 8x + 40 to model the situation. What score does the model predict for 3 h of homework?
y = 8x + 40
For three hours of study we have that the note would be approximately:
y = 8 * (3) + 40
y = 64
(c) What does the number 40 in Part (b) mean in the context of the situation?
The number 40 means that if you do not devote any study time, then you expect the test score to be 40.
Answer is x-2. it goes down 2.
