Answer:
Y = 2/3x - 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall the general equation for a straight line is
y = mx + b
where m is the gradient and b is the y-intercept
given 2 points whose coordinates are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), m can be found with the following formula:
m =
in this case, x1 = 3, y1 = -1, x2 = 6, y2=1
applying these values to the formula for m will give
m = (-1 -1) / (3-6) = 2/3
We can see immediately that only the first (top-most) answer has this value for m and we can guess that this is probably the answer.
But we can still check to confirm:
If we substitute this back into the general equation, we get:
y = (2/3)x + b
In order to find the value for b, we substitute any one of the 2 given points back into this equation. Lets choose (6,1)
1 = (2/3)(6) + b
1 = 4 + b
b = -3
Confirm Y = 2/3x - 3 is the answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to do this, you have to know how to use your calculator's regression equation function.
First enter in the data. Hit "stat" then 1:Edit and enter all the x values into L1. After each value, hit enter. When you're done with the x list, arrow over to L2 and enter in all the y-values. If there are already values there you need to clear, arrow up to highlight L1, hit "clear", then "enter" and the values will disappear. Do that for both lists if you need to.
After the data is listed in L1 and L2, hit "stat" again and arrow over to "Calc". Hit 5:QuadReg. If you have a TI 83, your equation will be there for you. If you have a TI 84, you'll need to arrow down to "calculate" to get the equation. Regardless, the equation is
, the last choice in your options.
