HELP PLEASE NEED TO PASS!!!!!!!!!Rob is investigating the effects of font size on the number of words that fit on a page. He cha

nges the font size on an essay and records the number of words on one page of the essay.
The table shows his data.Which equation represents the approximate line of best fit for data, where x represents font size and y represents the number of words on one page?

y = –55x + 407
y = –41x + 814
y = –38x + 922
y = –26x + 723

Using the given data you can build the linear regression (described by linear function y=ax+b) by hand or you can use math calculator to do this. In attached diagram you can see that

$a=-26.059\approx -26$

and

$b=722.633\approx 723.$

Then the equation of linear function is

$y = -26x + 723.$

Answer: correct choice is D.

What is the point slope of an equation with slope of 3/5 that passes through the point (10,-2)

Verdich [7]

The answer would be B. It gives you the slope and a point on the graph so use that to your advantage. All of the answers show the slope and the slope in the right place, so for now it can be any of them. Then we get to the point (10,-2). For point slope form you would switch the signs for both x and y. So the Y would now be +2 and x would be -10. Y goes together with y, and X goes together with x. In this case y+-y= slope(X+-x) Substitute in for them. Y+2=3/5(X-10)

What is the equation for the plane illustrated below?

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by $3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The general equation in rectangular form for a 3-dimension plane is represented by:

$a\cdot x + b\cdot y + c\cdot z = d$

Where:

$x$ , $y$ , $z$ - Orthogonal inputs.

$a$ , $b$ , $c$ , $d$ - Plane constants.

The plane presented in the figure contains the following three points: (2, 0, 0), (0, 2, 0), (0, 0, 3)

For the determination of the resultant equation, three equations of line in three distinct planes orthogonal to each other. That is, expressions for the xy, yz and xz-planes with the resource of the general equation of the line:

xy-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 2, 0)

$y = m\cdot x + b$

$m = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$y_{1}$ , $y_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - x-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $x_{1} = 2$ , $y_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ and $y_{2} = 2$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{2-0}{0-2}$

$m = -1$

x-Intercept

$b = y_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}$

$b = 0 -(-1)\cdot (2)$

$b = 2$

The equation of the line in the xy-plane is $y = -x+2$ or $x + y = 2$ , which is equivalent to $3\cdot x + 3\cdot y = 6$ .

yz-plane (0, 2, 0) and (0, 0, 3)

$z = m\cdot y + b$

$m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{y_{2}-y_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$y_{1}$ , $y_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - y-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $y_{1} = 2$ , $z_{1} = 0$ , $y_{2} = 0$ and $z_{2} = 3$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

y-Intercept

$b = z_{1} - m\cdot y_{1}$

$b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)$

$b = 3$

The equation of the line in the yz-plane is $z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot y+3$ or $3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .

xz-plane (2, 0, 0) and (0, 0, 3)

$z = m\cdot x + b$

$m = \frac{z_{2}-z_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}$

Where:

$m$ - Slope, dimensionless.

$x_{1}$ , $x_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the independent variable, dimensionless.

$z_{1}$ , $z_{2}$ - Initial and final values for the dependent variable, dimensionless.

$b$ - z-Intercept, dimensionless.

If $x_{1} = 2$ , $z_{1} = 0$ , $x_{2} = 0$ and $z_{2} = 3$ , then:

Slope

$m = \frac{3-0}{0-2}$

$m = -\frac{3}{2}$

x-Intercept

$b = z_{1} - m\cdot x_{1}$

$b = 0 -\left(-\frac{3}{2} \right)\cdot (2)$

$b = 3$

The equation of the line in the xz-plane is $z = -\frac{3}{2}\cdot x+3$ or $3\cdot x + 2\cdot z = 6$

After comparing each equation of the line to the definition of the equation of the plane, the following coefficients are obtained:

$a = 3$ , $b = 3$ , $c = 2$ , $d = 6$

Hence, none of the options presented are valid. The plane is represented by $3 \cdot x + 3\cdot y + 2\cdot z = 6$ .
