Using the given data you can build the linear regression (described by linear function y=ax+b) by hand or you can use math calculator to do this. In attached diagram you can see that
and
Then the equation of linear function is
Answer: correct choice is D.
Answer:
1.
m=
b= 2
2.
m=
b= 1
3.
m= 3
b=4
Step-by-step explanation:
1. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,2) therefore its y-intercept is b=2.
The line rises up 1 unit on the y-axis for every 4 units on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m=1/4.
Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that
2. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,1) therefore its y-intercept is b=1.
The line down up 1 unit on the y-axis for every 3 units on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m= -1/3.
Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that
3. The line intersects the y-axis at the point (0,4) therefore its y-intercept is b=4.
The line rises up 3 units on the y-axis for every 1 unit on the x-axis therefore the line has a slope of m=3.
Considering the equation of a line (y=mx+b), we plug in the variables we have found into the formula to find that
a. The equation that relates Ann's age (x) and Tom's age (y) is a line
The slope-intercept form of a line is:
y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
The slope of the line that passes through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is computed as follows:
From the table, the line passes through the points (4, 8) and (8, 12), then its slope is:
Substituting with m = 1 and the point (4, 8) into the general equation, we get:
8 = 1(4) + b
8 = 4 + b
8 - 4 = b
4 = b
Finally, the equation that compares Tom's and Ann's age is:
y = x + 4
b. To graph the line y = x + 4, we need to draw two points and then connect them with a line. Replacing with x = 0 into the equation:
y = 0 + 4
y = 4
then, the point (0, 4) is on the line. And we can also use the point (4,8)
