Answer:
90000
Step-by-step explanation:
The scatterplot shown includes the (blue) least-squares regression line, whose equation is y = .975 + .005x, where y is calories (in thousands) and x is years after 1960. Choose the correct statement.
Answer: In the given regression equation, the calories are in thousands. Therefore, the slope 0.005 (0.005 x 1000 =5 calories) means the consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year.
Hence the option a. Consumption is increasing at a rate of 5 calories per year. is correct

<h3>
Answer: D) One solution</h3>
==========================================
Work Shown:
2(b+3)-17 = 3b-7+b
2b+6-17 = 4b-7
2b-11 = 4b-7
-11+7 = 4b-2b
-4 = 2b
2b = -4
b = -4/2
b = -2
There is one solution and it is b = -2
A quick way to tell we have one solution is to note that both sides are a linear expression, and that the slopes of each linear expression are different values. If you had two lines with the same slope, then you'd have either parallel lines or coinciding lines (leading to no solutions and infinitely many solutions respectively). When you have two lines with two different slopes, then they are guaranteed to intersect only once. That intersection point is the solution.
