6) The scatter plot below shows the temperatures (y), in degrees Fahrenheit (°F), that were recorded at different altitudes (x),
in thousands of feet. Which equation could represent the line of best fit for the temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, based on the altitudes, in thousands of feet? A) y = −5x + 70 B) y = −10x + 70 Reactivate C) y = − 7 2 x + 60 D) y = − 9 2 x + 60
1 answer:
Answer:
y = − (7 /2) x + 60 equation could represent the line of best fit for the temperatures, in degrees Fahrenheit, based on the altitudes, in thousands of feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A plot for temperature and altitude
(Refer the attachment) .......FOR GRAPH
To Find:
Correct relationship between them
Solution:
By using given relationship as we can conclude.
1)y=-5x+70:
Put y=0 then
5x=70
x=70/5
x=14
This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph
2) y=-10x+70
put y=0 then
10x=70
x=7
This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph very less than original value.
3)y=-(7/2)x+60
put y=0 then
(7/2)x=60
7x=120
x=120/7
x=17.14
This value corresponds when y=0 in graph
4)y=-(9/2)x+60
Put y=0 then
(9/2)x=60
9x=120
x=120/9
x=13.33
This value dont corresponds when y=0 in graph which much less than original value.
