A) Explain what the slope of the line says about housing prices and house size
B) What price would you predict for a 2500 square foot house in the market?
C) A real estate agent shows a potential buyer 1100 square foot house, saying that the asking price is $6000 less than what one would expect to pay for a house of this size. What is the asking price, and what is the $6000 called?

Answer:

A) m = 0.062

B) 202.87 thousand dollars

C) Original price = 116.07 thousand dollars. $6000 is called the error term.                                            

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Price = 47.87+0.062(size)

The above equation is regression equation where price is in thousand dollars and size in square feet.

Let p be the prize and s be the size.

p(s) = 47.87 + 0.062s

Comparing it to linear equation, we have,

y= mx + c

where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

m = 0.062

c = 47.87

A) slope of the line

The slope of line tells the rate of change. Thus, it tells the change in price if the size of house is increased by 1 square feet.

The price of house increases by 0.062 thousand dollars if the size of house is increased by 1 square feet.

B) Price of house

We are given s = 2500. Putting this value in the equation.

p(2500) = 47.87 + 0.062(2500) =202.87

Thus, the price of a 2500 square feet house is 202.87 thousand dollars.

C) We are given s = 1100

Putting the value in the equation:

p(1100) = 47.87 + 0.062(1100) =116.07

Original price = 116.07 thousand dollars

Asking price =

116.07 - 6 = 110.07

The buyer is asking for 110.07 thousand dollars.

$6000 is called the error term.

What numbers that have the same sign equal -4 3/5
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

In mathematics, equality is a relationship between two quantities or, more generally two mathematical expressions, asserting that the quantities have the same value, or that the expressions represent the same mathematical object. The equality between A and B is written A = B, and pronounced A equals B.[1][2] The symbol "=" is called an "equals sign". Two objects that are not equal are said to be distinct.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example:

{\displaystyle x=y}x=y means that x and y denote the same object.[3]

The identity {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+1}{\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}=x^{2}+2x+1} means that if x is any number, then the two expressions have the same value. This may also be interpreted as saying that the two sides of the equals sign represent the same function.

{\displaystyle \{x\mid P(x)\}=\{x\mid Q(x)\}}{\displaystyle \{x\mid P(x)\}=\{x\mid Q(x)\}} if and only if {\displaystyle P(x)\Leftrightarrow Q(x).}{\displaystyle P(x)\Leftrightarrow Q(x).} This assertion, which uses set-builder notation, means that if the elements satisfying the property {\displaystyle P(x)}P(x) are the same as the elements satisfying {\displaystyle Q(x),}{\displaystyle Q(x),} then the two uses of the set-builder notation define the same set. This property is often expressed as "two sets that have the same elements are equal." It is one of the usual axioms of set theory, called axiom of extensionality.[4]

SashulF [63]

Answer:   - (2 + 3) = -5

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

When combining numbers that have the same sign, you add them and then include the sign.

For example:

-2 - 3 = -(2 + 3) = -5

-6 - 5 = -(6 + 5) = -11

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