Find the residual values, and use the graphing calculator tool to make a residual plot.
2 answers:
<u>Answer-</u>
D. No, the points are in a curved pattern.
<u>Solution-</u>
The difference between the observed or given value of the dependent variable and the predicted value is called the residual. Each data point has one residual.
<em>If the points in a residual plot are randomly dispersed around the horizontal or x-axis, a linear regression model is appropriate for the data. Otherwise, a non-linear model is more appropriate.</em>
Plotting a graph, by taking the residual values on ordinate and values of given x on abscissa, a non-random U pattern is obtained.
So a non-linear model will be a better fit for this data set.

You have in the first equation "+y" and in the second "-y"
So, you add the 2 equations, so we can remove this 2 letters since they're opposite numbers.
So, we get:
-4x + y -5x - y = 21 + 6
-4x -5x = 21 + 6
Then, you add
-4x -5x = 21 + 6
-9x = 27
Then, you move the -9 to the other part, next to the 27. And since it was a multiplication, it becomes a division.
x =
Then, you choose an equation of the system, and you replace x by it's value so you can find y. I'll take the first equation.
-4x + y = 6
-4*-3 + y = 6
12 + y = 6
Then, you move 12 to the other part next to the 6. And since it was a positive number, it becomes a negative number.
So
y = 6 - 12
y = -6
So, the solution of the proposed system <span>is (x;y) = (6;-6)
x = 6
y = -6
Hope this Helps :)
