Lines that never intersect
Answer:
negative association
Step-by-step explanation:
This diagram is a scatter plot which represents a set of data. Data on a scatter plot can fit one of three descriptions: positive (increasing), negative (decreasing) or no association (points do not form any kind of line). Given this data and the line of best fit, or the line that pass through the majority of the points, it is a decreasing line. Since the line goes downhill, it is a negative association.
Answer:
van : 12 miles per gallon
cabinets: 3 cabinets a day
retail job for $500
Step-by-step explanation:
van: 240 miles/20 gallons = 12 miles per gallon
cabinets: 24/8= 3
jobs: $500 for 40 hours and $12 times 40 hours gets you $480
first job pays $20 bucks more
Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)
Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short, we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.
Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.
y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.
