Note the slope intercept form: y = mx + b, in which m = slope
Isolate the y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. First, add 3x to both sides
-3x (+3x) + 6y = (+3x) + 12
6y = 3x + 12
Fully isolate the y. Divide 6 from both sides (and to all terms)
(6y)/6 = (3x + 12)/6
y = (3x)/6 + (12)/6
Simplify
y = (1/2)x + 2
y = 0.5x + 2 is your equation.
The slope is direclty left of the x (or the m variable). In this case, it is 0.5
0.5 is your answer (or 1/2 if wanted in fraction form)

The integers are x - 1, x and x + 1
x - 1 + x + x + 1 = 186
3x = 186
x = 186/3 = 62
Therefore, the numbers are 61, 62 and 63
I got 27.5 for the mean
mean: you add up all the #'s and divide them my their quantity( in other words by how many numbers there are)
In your case you have 8 numbers, you add them and divide them by 8!
Hope it helps ;)
No, since the slopes are different
for 1 line
y = 4x - 4
slope = 4
for 2 line
4y = 24x - 96
slope = 24/4 = 6
Answer:
Here is one idea:
You can use a regression line to predict what will happen at a time not given by your data. You can use it to make predictions about future times.
Here is another one:
The equation for the regression line or even the graph of can tell us if the data is increasing as we move through future times or if it is decreasing as we move through future times.
Try to come up with one of your own so you can have three. :)
