Answer:

slope: -3/5

y-intercept: (0, 4)

slope-intercept form: y = -3/5x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Finding the slope</u></h3>

To find the slope of this line, you would take two points from the table and substitute their coordinates into the slope formula.

Slope formula: \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

I'm going to use the points (0, 4) and (5, 1). You can really use any point from the table. Substitute these points into the formula to find the slope.

(0, 4), (5, 1) → \frac{1-4}{5-0} \rightarrow \frac{-3}{5}

This means the slope of the line is -3/5.

<h3><u>Finding the y-intercept</u></h3>

The y-intercept will always have the value of x be 0 (so the point is solely on the y-axis), so by looking at the table we can see that the y-intercept is at (0, 4).

<h3><u>Finding the slope-intercept form</u></h3>

Since we have the slope and a point of the line, we must use point-slope form to find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form. Substitute in the point (0, 4) --you could use any point from the table-- and the slope -3/5 into the point-slope form equation.

point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1) --you'll be substituting the point coordinates and slope into y1, x1, and m.

y - (4) = -3/5(x - (0))

Simplify.

y - 4 = -3/5x

Add 4 to both sides.

y = -3/5x + 4 is the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (you have both the slope and the y-intercept in this form).

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation: To find a y intercept you must find what y is when x is 0 so because it already tells you on the table the y intercept is 4. To find slope take 2 x intercepts and 2 y intercepts. For this well take the 0,4 and 5,1. The take the y from both pairs and minus them so it will look like 4 minus 1. Then draw a line under the equation under this line do the same thing but with the x's from both pairs so 0-5 then you will get as a result of both -3/5 as your slope.

For which data set is a linear regression most reasonable?
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. A set of nine data pairs with a correlation coefficient r = -0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

In statistical analysis, it is important to make use of an adequate sample size in order to arrive at a valid result. An analysis with a very small sample size can provide misleading results

When performing regression analysis it is generally accepted by researchers that each variable should have at least 10 observations.

Therefore, the data set having nine data pairs with a negative correlation of -0.4 will provide the most valid result that can then be used for generalization about the larger statistical population.

How can I solve 2x+y=-3
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

If solving for x then x = -3/2 +y/2

If solving for y then y = -3-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

For x: Divide both sides by 2

For y: Subtract 2x from both sides of the equation
