Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
6x+12 = 9x-3
3x = 15
x= 5
I will attach google sheet that I used to find regression equation.
We can see that linear fit does work, but the polynomial fit is much better.
We can see that R squared for polynomial fit is higher than R squared for the linear fit. This tells us that polynomials fit approximates our dataset better.
This is the polynomial fit equation:

I used h to denote hours. Our prediction of temperature for the sixth hour would be:

Here is a link to the spreadsheet (

5 (the sides) x 0.8 = 4 meters
y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation of straight line by using the formula :y= mx+c
put the x-value of point (2,4) which is 2 and the gradient,m which is 2 into the straight line equation:
y=2x +c
So you need to find the y-intercept to complete the equation, therefore:
when y=0,
0=2(2)+c
c=-4
next the question ask to find the y-coordinate when x =3, therefore you just need to replace x in the equation with 3:
y=2(3)-4
y=4
