The given diagram is a scatter plot in which temperature is plotted against number of visitors.
As the number of visitors is rising with the rise in temperature, its a positive correlation.
As joining the dots is going to give a web of line segments, it is not going to be helpful to understand the trends.
The best way to understand the trends is to make the line of best Fit in such a way that the number of dots on either side are approximately the same.
I have attached the figure for your reference of the line of best fit.
The slope is 2/1 and tye y intercept is 2
Answer:
<em><u>x=-6, y=-2</u></em>, (As a point) (-6, -2).....The point form is not necessary unless you want to solve the system (of equations) by graphing.
Step-by-step explanation:
By substitution:
x-y=-4 By adding y on both sides,
x=y-4
Now you can substitute x for the expression (y-4)
Plug the (y-4) as x in the other equation.
So -2x+3y=6 becomes
-2(y-4)+3y=6
Now solve:
-2(y-4)+3y=6 distributes out to be
-2y+8+3y=6 Now combining like terms
y+8=6 Subtract 8 on both sides to isolate the variable
<u><em>y=-2</em></u>
Now plug the value -2 in where the y is in any equation (preferably the easier/less complicated one) and solve for x.
So x-y=-4 becomes
x-(-2)=-4
=x+2=-4
=<u><em>x=-6</em></u>
You could complete the square to state the vertex.
You could use the quadratic equation to find the roots (which are complex).
Try an example that will require both.
y = x^2 + 2x + 5
Step One
Get the graph. That's included below.
Step Two
Provide the steps for completing the square.
Note: we should get (-1,4)
y= (x^2 +2x ) + 5
y = (x^2 +2x + 1) + 5 - 1
y = (x +1)^2 + 4
The vertex is at (-1,4)
Step Three
Find the roots. Use the quadratic equation. Note that the graph shows us that the equation never crosses or touches the x axis. The roots are complex.
a = 1
b = 2
c = 5
x = -1 +/- 2i
x1 = -1 + 2i
x2 = -1 - 2i And we are done.
