Question

Which expression can be simplified to find the slope of the trend line in the scatterplot? On a coordinate plane, a line goes through points (2, 79) and (12, 24). StartFraction 24 minus 79 Over 12 minus 2 EndFraction StartFraction 24 + 79 Over 12 + 2 EndFraction StartFraction 24 minus 79 Over 2 minus 12 EndFraction StartFraction 24 minus 79 Over 12 + 2 EndFraction

Answer 1

Answer:

(A)$\dfrac{24-79}{12-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trend line which goes through (2, 79) and (12, 24).

$Slope, m=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\x_1=2, y_1=79,x_2=12, y_2=24\\ Therefore :\\\\m=\dfrac{24-79}{12-2}$

The equation which can be simplified to find the slope of the trend line in the scatterplot is $\dfrac{24-79}{12-2}$

The correct option is A.
