Find the point on the x-axis that is equidistant from the points (−3,−1) and (1,6)

well, we'll be using the distance formula twice here.

that point, is on the x-axis, what's the value of "y" at the x-axis?  well y = 0, since it's way down at the 0 level, so the point must be (x , 0).

the distance then from (x,0) to (-3,-1) is the same distance as from (x,0) to 1,6).

\bf \begin{array}{rcllll} \stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (-3,-1)}}{\sqrt{(-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2}}&=&\stackrel{\textit{distance from (x,0) to (1,6)}}{\sqrt{(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2}} \\\\\\ (-3-x)^2+(-1-0)^2&=&(1-x)^2+(6-0)^2 \\\\\\ 9+6x+x^2+1&=&1-2x+x^2+36 \\\\\\ x^2+6x+10&=&x^2-2x+37 \end{array} \\\\\\ 6x+10=-2x+37\implies 8x+10=37\implies 8x=27 \\\\\\ x = \cfrac{27}{8}\implies x = 3\frac{3}{8}~\hfill \blacktriangleright \left( 3\frac{3}{8}~,~0 \right) \blacktriangleleft

If the correlation between height and weight of a large group of people is 0.75​, find the coefficient of determination​ (as a​
Shtirlitz [24]
Independent variable is the predictor variable which is the height and dependent variable is the response variable which is weight in this scenario.

The square of correlation coefficient gives the coefficient of determination. It is denoted by R² (R squared).

We are given:
R = 0.75

So,
R²  = 0.75²

R² = 0.5625

R²  = 56.25 %
The coefficient of determination tells how much of the trend of dependent data can be explained by the independent data using the linear regression model. So in the given case, Height can explain 56.25% of the trend in the weight.
