<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.

Dana can type nearly 90 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it will take her to type 2.6 x 105 wo
Vlad1618 [11]

Dana can type 90 words per minute.

Since, 1 minute = \frac{1}{60} hours

Therefore, number of words she can type = \frac{90}{\frac{1}{60}}

                                                                      = 90×60

                                                                      = 5400 words per hour

If she types 2.6\times 10^5 words in 'x' hours.

Number of words Dana types with the given speed in 'x' hours = Speed of typing × Time

= 5400\times x

Therefore, 5400\times x =2.6\times 10^5

5400x=260000

x=\frac{260000}{5400}

x=48.15 hours

Therefore, Dana types 2.6\times 10^5 words in 48.15 hours.

Answer:

D. It would be less steep

Step-by-step explanation:

The first graph moves at a rate of 5/1 which is a greater fraction than 3/4

  • The second graph is shallow due to the close points in x and y that are able to be conducted
  • The first Graph rapidly increases at a way higher rate making it VERY steep
  • While both are linear the second strays away in terms of plot lines
