Answer:

width= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

18 inches is the original height and we are now reducing that to 3 inches.

In order to do that, we have to divide 18 by 3 which equals 6.

Next, take the width of the rectangle, which is twelve and divide it by the scale factor of 6 which equals 2.

Your final answers should be: width= 2

Answer: b

Explanation:
The line of best fit to a scattergram is obtained in linear regression analysis by minimizing the sum of the squared errors.
For example, in the diagram shown below, there are n data points in the scattergram.
The error for the i-th data point is $e_{i}$ .
The coefficients (a and b) for the line of best fit are determined using calculus, to minimize $\sum_{i=1}^{n} e_{i}^{2}$ .
