The table and the plotted data are in the attachment.
Answer and Step-by-step explanation: A line of best fit is the best approximation of the given data. It is used to show the relation of two variables and it can be determined, more accurately, by the Least Square Method.
To use the method, follow the steps:
1) Calculate the mean of the two variables:
2) The Slope of the line is given by:
3) The y-intercept is found by the formula:
For the ripening of bananas, the least square method gives the line:
y = -0.142x + 5.56
The rate of change of a line equation is its slope, so
Rate of change = -0.14
The rate of change of ripening time with respect to exposure time is -0.14, which means the more expose the fruit is, the less time it needs to ripe.

Answer: (-112,-264)
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The angle the wire now subtends at the center of the new circle is approximately 145.7°
Step-by-step explanation:
The radius of the arc formed by the piece of wire = 15 cm
The angle subtended at the center of the circle by the arc, θ = 68°
The radius of the circle to which the piece of wire is reshaped to = 7 cm
Let 'L' represent the length of the wire
By proportionality, we have;
L = (θ/360) × 2 × π × r
L = (68/360) × 2 × π × 15 cm = π × 17/3 = (17/3)·π cm
Similarly, when the wire is reshaped to form an arc of the circle with a radius of 7 cm, we have;
L = (θ₂/360) × 2 × π × r₂
∴ θ₂ = L × 360/(2 × π × r₂)
Where;
θ₂ = The angle the wire now subtends at the center of the new circle with radius r₂ = 7 cm
π = 22/7
Which gives;
θ₂ = (17/3 cm) × (22/7) × 360/(2 × (22/7) × 7 cm) ≈ 145.7°.
