Answer:
y = - 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that y varies directly with x then the equation relating them is
y = kx ← k is the constant of variation
To find k use the condition y = 12 when x = - 3
k = =
= - 4
y = - 4x ← equation of variation
When x = 6, then
y = - 4 × 6 = - 24
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
By using regression line calculator,
Equation of the line of best fit,
c). y = 0.74x + 0.03
Here, x = Number of pints
y = Weight in pounds
d). We have to find the weight of 10 pints of the blueberries,
By substituting x = 10 in the equation,
y = 0.74(10) + 0.03
y = 7.4 + 0.03
y = 7.43 pounds
e). If per pound cost of the blueberries = $2.25
By substituting y = 2.25 in the equation,
2.25 = 0.74x + 0.03
x =
x = $3.00 per pound
Therefore, cost of 10 pounds blueberries = 3 × 10
= $30
