Based on data, here is a regression line comparing the variables y = mass of a bar of soap in grams and x = number of days soap

has been used: Predicted y = 78.5 – 1.8x. Choose the correct interpretation for the slope:
A. A brand-new bar of soap that has been used zero days will be approximately 78.5 grams.
B. For every gram in mass, the predicted number of days it takes to lose that mass is 1.8.
C. For every day the soap is used, the predicted mass of the soap will increase by 1.8 grams.
D. For every day the soap is used, the predicted mass of the soap will decrease by 1.8 grams.
E. For every gram in mass, the predicted number of days it takes to gain that mass is 1.8 days.

Answer:

D .For every day the soap is used, the predicted mass of the soap will decrease by 1.8 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given regression equation is

Predicted y = 78.5 – 1.8x where,  y = mass of a bar of soap in grams and x = number of days soap has been used.

Here, slope=b=-1.8.

Slope depicts the unit increase in predicted variable due to change in independent variable.

The given slope -1.8 shows that due to change in number of days soap is used the predicted mass of the soap decreases by 1.8 units. So, we can say that "For every day the soap is used, the predicted mass of the soap will decrease by 1.8 grams".

Solve for "y" <br> 8y-4x=2
Marizza181 [45]
        -4x + 8y = 2
-4x + 4x + 8y = 2 + 4x
                 8y = 4x + 2
                  8         8
                   y = ¹/₂x + ¹/₄

A parabola intersects the xxx-axis at x=3x=3x, equals, 3 and x=9x=9x, equals, 9.
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

x=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the x-intercepts of a parabola: x_1=3, x_2=9

The equation of symmetry at the parabola's vertex is x=h

Where h=\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2}

In this case,

h=\dfrac{3+9}{2}=6

Therefore, the line of symmetry of the parabola is x=6 and is also the x-coordinate of the parabola's vertex.

Back splash will be a mixture of 5 inch tiles. One quarter of tiles will be indian red one sixth will be tuscan blue one fifth w
frutty [35]

Answer:

23/60

Step-by-step explanation:

All fractions of tiles, when summed up, need to be 1

Indian red is 1/4 of the tiles

Tuscan blue is 1/6 of the tiles

Fucalyptus is 1/5 of the tiles

Sand is X of the tiles (X is the fraction we want to know)

So, we can formulate the equation:

1/4 + 1/6 + 1/5 + X = 1

applying LCM, we have:

(15 + 10 + 12 + 60X) = 60

60X = 23

X = 23/60
