No; just because there is a correlation does not prove causation.
The correlation says that as the amount of rainfall increases, the amount of oranges produced increases as well. It does not state what causes it.
Answer:
You wrote the question wrong...
m is not -16 it is -1/6 (that is a big difference)
y=mx+b
y=-1/6x+b
3 = -1/6(12) + b
3 = -2 + b
b=5

Answer:
<h2>The radius is 4 units long.</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is

This equation belongs to a circle, which center is at (0.5, 3.5) and its radius is 4.
You can deduct its elements, becase this equation of the circle is explicit, which means the constant term represents the square power of the radius. Solving that, we have

Therefore, the radius is 4 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of hours per week Nando is brisk walking and y be the number of hours per week Nando is biking at a moderate pace.
For the first month, he needs to exercise at most five hours per week, then

Brisk walking burns about 350 calories per hour, then it burns 350x calories per x hours.
Biking at a moderate pace burns about 700 calories per hour, then it burns 700y calories per y hours.
Nando must burn at least 2,000 calories per week, so

You get the system of two inequalities:

The attached graph shows the solution set to this system of inequalities. In this diagram, red region represents the solution set to the first inequality, blue region represents the solution set to the second inequality and their intersection is the solution set to the system of two inequalities.
