Which function BEST expresses the linear relationship displayed by the scatter plot?

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

We want a line of best fit, which means we want to create a line that the data points will lie closest to.

One thing we can do is find the slope between the bottom-leftmost point and the top-rightmost point. This is because if we were to draw a line connecting these two, it will cut through the data quite well.

Those two points are (9, 15) and (16, 18), so the slope is change in y divided by the change in x:

(18 - 15) ÷ (16 - 9) = 3 ÷ 7 ≈ 0.4

Eliminate A and B.

Now we need to determine the y-intercept. This needs no calculations; simply look at the graph: there's no way a line cutting through the y-intercept point of (0, 18) will perfectly match the data points; instead it must be a y-intercept lower than 18. So, eliminate D.

The answer is C.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line of best fit should be around:

(18-15)/(16-10) = 0.5

And

The y-intercept would be less than 15

Therefore, option C is the most suitable option

Number 2 is what I'm stuck on
DENIUS [597]
Let's say that ground level is 0. When she goes down to the basement, she is going -12 feet since each flight of stairs is12 feet. Then she goes up 12 more feet= -12+12=0. She is back at ground level. Then she goes up another 12 feet= 0+12= 12. So I believe the answer is 12 feet.

Select "Yes" or "No" to indicate whether the ordered pair is on the graph of the function f(x)=−9^x+1 .
Vinil7 [7]
I'm assuming your function is f(x) = -9^(x+1)
So we just have to plug in and see if the function is true.

1) -9^(0+1) = -9^1 = -9
YES

2) -9^(1+1) = -9^2 = -81
NO

3) -9^(-1+1) = -9^0 = -1
YES
