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.

Divide everything by -5
f(x)=t^2-4t-12
(t-6)(t+2)
Set it up to zero
t-6=0. t+2=0
t=6. t=-2
Since you can’t have negative seconds, the answer is 6 seconds
