Answer:
The function is
.
The slope is
.
The y-intercept is
.
Step-by-step explanation:
Our aim is to calculate the values <em>m</em> (slope) and <em>b</em> (y-intercept) in the equation of a line :

We have the following data:

To find the line of best fit for the points given, you must:
Step 1: Find
and
as it was done in the table below.
Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

Step 3: Use the following equations to find <em>b</em> and <em>m</em>:

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

The graph of the regression line is:
Answer: 36 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation: You need to find the least common multiple of 9 and 12.
You can check by multiplying 9 and 12 by consecutive whole numbers until you find a number that they match.
Example:
9*1= 9 , 9*2=18, 9*3= 27, 9*4=36, 9*5=45
12*1=12, 12*2=24, 12*3 =36
They both share 36.
The average rate of change is (total change in f(x))/(total change in x) so
r=(f(6)-f(2))/(6-2)
r=(36-6-4-4+2+4)/4
r=7
The answer is 22.6 so the quotient would be between 22.0 and 23.0, hope this helps.
