<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.

Answer:

\sqrt[4]{x^5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction exponent converts into a radical. The denominator is the index of the radical (farthest left number) and the numerator is the exponent of the base inside (the farthest right number). The base of the fraction exponent is the base number in green. To write this expression, simply the exponents into one exponent and one base.

x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{1}{2} } =x^{\frac{3}{4}}x^{\frac{2}{4} } =x^{\frac{3+2}{4}} =x^{\frac{5}{4}}

Now convert to the radical.

x^{\frac{5}{4}} = \sqrt[4]{x^5}

Answer:

They are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of a dilation

Step-by-step explanation:

The given vertices of triangle ΔABC are;

A(1, 5), B(3, 9), and C(5, 3)

The vertices of triangle ΔDEF are;

D(-3, 3), E(-2, 5), and F(-1, 2)

Therefore, we get;

The length of segment, \overline{AB} = √((9 - 5)² + (3 - 1)²) = 2·√5

The length of segment, \overline{BC} = √((9 - 3)² + (3 - 5)²) = 2·√10

The length of segment, \overline{AC} = √((5 - 3)² + (1 - 5)²) = 2·√5

The length of segment, \overline{DE} = √((5 - 3)² + (-2 - (-3))²) = √5

The length of segment, \overline{EF} = √((2 - 5)² + (-1 - (-2))²) = √10

The length of segment, \overline{DF} = √((2 - 3)² + (-1 - (-3))²) = √5

∴ \overline{AB}/\overline{DE} = 2·√5/(√5) = 2

\overline{BC}/\overline{EF} = 2·√10/(√10) = 2

\overline{AC}/\overline{DF} = 2·√5/(√5) = 2

The ratio of their corresponding sides are equal and therefore;

ΔABC and ΔDEF are similar by the definition of similarity in terms of dilation.

Someone please help thanks!!!

Answer:

-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the difference in the y-coordinates by the difference in the x-coordinates.

Here, the given ordered pairs are (-6, -8) and (-14, 4), so the slope is:

slope = m = (4 - (-8)) / (-14 - (-6)) = 12 / (-8) = -3/2

The answer is thus -3/2.
