What is the slope of this line of best fit?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}  ⇒ 2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the slope of a line is m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

<em>To find the slope of the best line fit choose two points their positions make the number of the points over the line equal to the number of the points below the line</em>

From the attached graph points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3) are the best choice

∵ The line passes through points (1 , 9) and (8 , 3)

∴ x_{1} = 1 and x_{2} = 8

∴ y_{1} = 9 and y_{2} = 3

- Substitute them in the formula of the slope

∴ m=\frac{3-9}{8-1}=\frac{-6}{7}

∴ The slope of the line of best fit is \frac{-6}{7}

What is the equation of a line that passes through (1,5) and (3,11)? Show work please.
jekas [21]
First, find the gradient/slope:
Use slope formula:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
=(11-5)/(3-1)
=6/2
=3
Then use the line equation formula:
y=mx+c
You can substitute (1,5) if you like, also must substitute the slope as well!
5=3x1+c
c=2
Then find the full equation, which gives you the answer:
y=3x+2

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

C. (2, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3y = x-5

x+ 5y = 7

Subtract x from both sides in the first equation. Write the second equation below it.

-x - 3y = -5

x + 5y = 7

Add the two equations above.

2y = 2

Divide both sides by 2.

y = 1

Substitute y with 1 in the second original equation and solve for x.

x + 5(1) = 7

x + 5 = 7

Subtract 5 from both sides.

x = 2

Find x and the measure of each side. Round to two decimal places, if necessary.
natta225 [31]

The values of the triangles are as follows:

  • x = 7 units
  • GH = 21 units
  • HI = 21 units
  • GI = 12 units

<h3>How to find angles and side of a triangle?</h3>

The triangle is an isosceles triangle because two sides and angles are equal. Therefore,

4x - 7 = 2x + 7

4x - 2x = 7 + 7

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7 units

GH = 4(7) - 7 = 28 - 7 = 21

HI = 2(7) + 7 = 14 + 7 = 21

GI = 7 + 5 = 12
