When ur polynomial has more then one variable....and this one does...the degree is the highest term degree
7a^3b^2 ....this term has a degree of 5
2a^4...this term has a degree of 4
4b....this term has a degree of 1
15....this term has a degree of 0
so the highest degree term has a degree of 5....so that is the degree of this polynomial.
now if u just had 1 variable, the degree would be the highest exponent
The line passing through (3, -1) and (-1, 5) has this slope:
5+1
m = ---------- = -3/2
-1-3
We need to find the y-intercept. To do this, substitute the knowns (-3/2 for m, -1 for y and 3 for x) into the slope-intercept equation:
-1 = (-3/2)(3) + b. Then: -1 = -9/2 + b, and so b = 9/2 - 1 = 7/2.
The desired equation is y = (-3/2)x + 7/2.
Answer:
Okay so I am not positive but I will try to help you out. Okay so the line of best fit would positive. Because it is all going up. The approximate slope is 3/4 Because slope is change in y over change in x. The y intercept of the line of best fit would be (0,0). This is because when drawing the line you can see that it would intercept the y-axis at zero. My steps taken were basically just looking at it and peicing everything together. If you want to get more involved with slope you could pick to coordinates which I will include and do change in y over change in x.
My points I will pick are (1,1) and (5,2)
2-1/5-1=3/4
therefore approximate slope is 3/4
Like I said I am not positive but I am just trying to help out in some way.
If something is incorrect please inform me. If this helps also please inform me.
Answer:
3.28
Step-by-step explanation:
find the mean of all the numbers
3 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 15 = 48
48/5=9.6
so the mean of all the numbers is 9.6
now subtract 9.6 from all the numbers
|3 - 9.6| = 6.6
|8 - 9.6| = 1.6
|10 - 9.6| = .4
|12 - 9.6| = 2.4
|15 - 9.6| = 5.4
Find the mean/average of the new values
6.6 + 1.6 + .4 + 2.4 + 5.4 = 16.4
16.4/5 = 3.28
