<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.

Short leg = 18 Long leg= 24 Hypotenuse= 30 My calculations were simple trial and error. I started with a trial of 10 for the short leg to begin with, averaging and estimating the appropriate proportions based off 6 additional increments. Sorry I don't have an algebraic method for you. Hope this has helped somewhat :)

The point (6, - 5) is reflected across the y axis what is the new point
jonny [76]

Answer:

  (-6, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Reflection across the y-axis leaves the point on the same horizontal line, but with the sign of its x-coordinate changed.

  (x, y) ⇒ (-x, y) . . . . . reflection across the y-axis

  (6, -5) ⇒ (-6, -5)

The image point is (-6, -5).

What conclusions can you draw from the distances that you recorded in question 7
mezya [45]

Answer:

If corresponding vertices on an image and a preimage are connected with line segments, the line segments are divided equally by the line of reflection. That is, the perpendicular distance from the line of reflection to either of the corresponding vertices is the same. Line  is a perpendicular bisector of the connecting line segments.

The sum of two consecutive integers is -15. Which equation could you use to find the two integers and what is the smaller intege
PtichkaEL [24]

2x= -14 (move the 1 to the right side)

x= -7

(-7)+(-8) = -15
