Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
General equation of a parabola that opens up is
, a>0
So equation becomes
which implies option A and option B can never be true for this parabola.
Also this parabola's vertex lies in 3rd quadrant where coordinates of both x and y will be negative.
So, the equation of parabola will be of the form 
Hence, option 4 that is
is correct.
I think x= -7 if I’m wrong my bad, good luck !
4 divide 4/9
4 times 9/4
= 9
Answer: ŷ = 0.07X + 5.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following :
Number of citations 5 - 7.5 - 10 - 15 - 20
Outputs Residuals 3 - - 6 - - 10 - 5 - - 6
Using the online regression calculator :
Line of best fit is represented by the equation:
ŷ = 0.06897X + 5.2069
ŷ = 0.07X + 5.2
From the line equation:
y = mx + c
With 0.07 = slope of gradient(m)
Intercept (c) = 5.2 (point where the line of best fit intersect the y_axis
x and y are values of x and y respectively
