No, it does not and it's not supposed to.  A trend line is drawn to go through in the best way possible, to go through the "center" of the points as best as it can.  It may hit some of the points, but not all of them.  Generally, the idea is to try to get the trend line to have as many points "above" it as it does "below" it to say you've gone through them evenly.

Answer:

Agree. All dots will not be connected. If the scattered dots are not on the best fit line, then it will not be connected

The equation of a line is y= -1/2x - 2. What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line and passes thro
Fed [463]
If two line are perpendicular. The multiply of their slopes are equal to -1. 
First line's slope is: -1/2x because if the line equation is form of y=ax+b a is slope. 
Let say second line's slope is m
m.-1/2=-1  so m=2 
y=ax+b is general form of linear function/equation. (a=slope)
y=2x+b 
If this line passes through the point (2,-2),if we write -2 to y and 2 to x, the equation becomes true. 
-2=4+b
b=-6 
Thus, 
y=2x-6 is true answer.

There are 4 semi- trailer truck park a line at the stop. After the first truck, each in the line weights 2 tons more than the tr
Anna11 [10]

Let's say the first truck weighs x tons

Then, the weight of 2nd truck = x+2 tons

The weight of 3rd truck = (x + 2) + 2 = x+4 tons

The weight of 4th truck = (x + 4) + 2 = x+6 tons

Total weight of 4 trucks:

x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 32

 

which can be solved easily to give x = 5

A 6-foot tall man is standing in front of a school and notices his shadow measures 10 feet. At the same time, he notices the fla
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft answer (A)

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The tall of the man = 6 ft

∵ The his shadow = 10 ft

∵ The shadow of the flag pole = 85 ft

∵ Tall of the man/tall of the flag = shadow of the man/shadow

   of the flag

∴ 6/x = 10/85 ⇒ where x is the tall of the flag

∴ x = (6 × 85) ÷ 10 = 510 ÷ 10 = 51 ft

∴ The tall of the flag pole is 51 ft
