Answer:
x= 70 y= 70
Step-by-step explanation:
Make an equation:
J = 1/2F - 10
Where 'J' represents Justin's age and 'F' represents his Father's age.
Plug in 12 for J:
12 = 1/2F - 10
Add 10 to both sides:
22 = 1/2F
Divide 1/2 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 2:
F = 44
Since we are given that the relationship between x and y
is linear. Therefore this means that the given equation takes the form of:
y = m x + b
where,
b is the y intercept of the equation
m is the slope of the equation
However we should take note that the slope m is directly
proportional to the coefficient of correlation. Since our coefficient of
correlation is negative, this only means that the value of y is decreasing with
increasing x, hence plot of y and x is descending with increasing x.
Furthermore, this also tells that for every 1 unit increase of x, there is a
0.75 units decrease of y.
J= 25+3
j-25=3
I'm pretty sure either would work
