Answer:

y = 11.84x - 32.71

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given data points,

(−3,−70),(−1,−42),(1,−21),(2,−9),(4,14),

Let x represents the input value and y represents the output value,

So, the table that represents the given situation is,

x         -3            -1             1             2             4

y       -70          -42         -21         -9             14

By the above table,

\sum x=3

\sum y=-128

\sum xy = 269

\sum x^2=31

\sum y^2 = 7382

Let the equation of the line is,

y = bx + a

Where,

a=\frac{\sum y \sum x^2 - \sum x\sum xy}{n(\sum x^2)-(sum x)^2}

b=\frac{n\sum xy - \sum x \sumy}{n(\sum x^2)-(\sum x)^2}

n = number of data points = 5,

By substituting the values we get,

a = - 32.70547945 ≈ - 32.71,

b = 11.84246575 ≈ 11.84,

Hence, the equation of line would be,

y = 11.84x - 32.71

-4(n - 6) = 12<br><br> Solve the Equation.
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
-4(n - 6) = 12

n - 6 = -12/4   divide both sides by -4

n - 6 = -3

n = -3 + 6    add both sides by 6

n = 3

hope that helps, God bless!
