Answer:
Shirt: $7.5
Sweater: $17.5
Step-by-step explanation:
25/2=12.5
Shirt is 5 less than Sweater
12.5-5=7.5
Add 5 to sweater cost
12.5+5=17.5
Shirt=7.5 Sweater=17.5
17.5+7.5=25
There's some unknown (but derivable) system of equations being modeled by the two lines in the given graph. (But we don't care what equations make up these lines.)
There's no solution to this particular system because the two lines are parallel.
How do we know they're parallel? Parallel lines have the same slope, and we can easily calculate the slope of these lines.
The line on the left passes through the points (-1, 0) and (0, -2), so it has slope
(-2 - 0)/(0 - (-1)) = -2/1 = -2
The line on the right passes through (0, 2) and (1, 0), so its slope is
(0 - 2)/(1 - 0) = -2/1 = -2
The slopes are equal, so the lines are parallel.
Why does this mean there is no solution? Graphically, a solution to the system is represented by an intersection of the lines. Parallel lines never intersect, so there is no solution.

Answer: Choice E)
The amount of calories in fruit juice increases by 2.5 for every one gram of sugar. The calorie amount estimated by this model is 57 if there are zero grams of sugar.
=============================================================
Explanation:
x = amount of sugar (in grams)
y = number of calories in the juice
ŷ = estimate of y, so its the estimate of calories in the juice
The regression equation rearranges to ŷ = 2.5x + 57
This is in the form y = mx+b where m = 2.5 is the slope and b = 57 is the y intercept.
The slope tells us what the rate of change is. Specifically, it tells us how much the amount of calories (y) is going up each time the amount of sugar (x) goes up. Each time x goes up by 1, y goes up by 2.5
The y intercept 57 is the starting or initial amount of calories. If you have 0 grams of sugar, the lowest amount of sugar possible, then you start off with 57 calories. We can see this by plugging x = 0 into ŷ = 2.5x + 57 (you should get ŷ = 57). Visually, the y intercept is where the line crosses the y axis.
All of these facts point to choice E as the final answer.
