<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

When there is a linear relationship is observed between the variables, we use  linear regression predict the relationship between them.

Also, we predict the values for dependent variable by modelling a linear model that best fits the data by drawing a line Y=a+bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the dependent variable.

In other words: The line of best fit is a line through a scatter plot of data points that best describes the relationship between them.

That's why the  regression line referred to as the line of best fit.

In the diagram g|| h, m&lt;1=(4x+36) and m&lt;2=(3x-3) <br><br> What is the measure of &lt;3
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

60°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since g||h the sum of angle 1 and angle 2 must be equal to 180

4x + 36 + 3x - 3 = 180

7x + 33 = 180

7x = 147

x = 21

The sum of angle 1 and angle 3 is equal to 180 because they are complementary angles

m<1 = 4x + 36 ➡ 4 × 21 + 36 = 120° so angle 3 = 60°

A shop sells fruit in two types of gift boxes: standard and deluxe. Each standard box contained 1kg of peaches and 2kg of apples
Morgarella [4.7K]
Let's call the number of standard boxes sold x and the number of deluxe boxes sold y.
The kg of peaches sold will be 1 for each standard box and 2 for each deluxe, so we know:
x + 2y = 12
The kg of apples sold will be 2 for each standard box and 1.5 for each deluxe, so:
2x + 1.5y = 14. Now we solve the two equations as a system:
From the 1st one:
x = 12 - 2y
We substitute in the second one:
2(12 - 2y) +1.5y = 14;
24 - 4y +1.5y = 14;
-2.5y = -10;
y = 10/2.5 = 4;
Now we substitute in the first equation:
x = 12 - 2y = 12 - 2*4 = 12 - 8 = 4.
So the shop sold 4 standard boxes (x) and 4 deluxe boxes (y).
