<h3>Answer:  Choice D</h3><h3>y = (-1/5)x + 7</h3>

======================================

Work Shown:

We will only focus on the two points that are on the regression line.

Those two points are (10,5) and (15,4)

Let (x1,y1) = (10,5) and (x2,y2) = (15,4)

Find the slope of the line through (x1,y1) = (10,5) and (x2,y2) = (15,4)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (4 - 5)/(15 - 10)

m = -1/5

m = -0.2

Plug m = -0.2, and  (x1,y1) = (10,5) into the point slope formula. Solve for y

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = -0.2(x - 10)

y - 5 = -0.2*x - 0.2*(-10) ... distribute

y - 5 = -0.2*x + 2

y - 5+5 = -0.2*x + 2 + 5 ... add 5 to both sides

y = -0.2*x + 7

y = (-1/5)*x + 7 .... convert -0.2 to -1/5

The equation y = (-1/5)x + 7 is in the form y = mx+b with m = -1/5 = -0.2 as the slope and b = 7 as the y intercept. The y intercept is where the graph crosses the vertical y axis. More specifically, the location of the y intercept in this case is at the point (0,7).

The base of a rectangular prism has an area of 12 square centimeters. The height of the rectangular prism is 3 centimeters. What
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

36 cubic centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the volume of the rectangular prism.

mathematically, that can be obtained by using the formula for the volume of the rectangular prism.

V = Base area * height

from the question, we have the base area as 12 square centimeters and the height as 3 centimeters.

Plugging these values into the equation, the value of the volume is thus 12 * 3 = 36 cubic centimeters

A traffic helicopter descends 167 meters to be 349 meters above the ground, as illustrated in the diagram to the right. Write an
morpeh [17]

Answer:

so ......when you write the equation for this question,

the original height (H) = current height + the decreased height

i.e.

H= 347m + 182m

H = 529 m

so the original height of the helicopter is 529 meters
