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 $\frac{-6}{7}$

Apex Learning Study 4.2.1 What units do you use to report the area of a circle with a radius of 50 feet?

klasskru [66]

Answer:

<h3> in square feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of anything is<u> allways </u>reported <u>in square units</u>. Usually that is square of given unit because it's the simplest way:

R = 50 ft

A = πR² = π•(50 ft)² = π • 50 ft • 50 ft = 2500π ft² ≈ 7854 ft²

{Of course you can re-calculate the units, ex.:

3 feet = 1 yard so 50 ft = 50/3 yd then

A = πR² = π•(50/3 yd)² = π • 50/3 yd • 50/3 yd = 2500/9 π yd² ≈ 872.7 yd² }

Which of the following shows a circle circumscribed about a triangle?

Dima020 [189]

Answer: The first option.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. By definition, when a circle circumscribed about a triangle it passes through all the vertices of that triangle (As you know, a triangle has three vertices).

2. As you can see in the figure attached, the only circle that passes through three vertices of the triangle is the the circle of the first optin. Therefore, you can conclude that that circle is circumscribed about the triangle.
