Answer:

Option A ic orrect.

y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form:

The equation of line is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)      .....[1]

where m is the slope of line and a point (x_1,y_1) lies on the line in the coordinate plane.

As per the statement:

You can see from the graph of line

We have two points i.e,

(0, 4) and (7, 1)

First calculate the slope:

\text{Slope} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

then;

\text{Slope}(m) = \frac{1-4}{7-0} = -\frac{3}{7}

Now, substitute the value of m and (0,4) in [1] we have;

y-4=-\frac{3}{7}(x-0)  

Simplify:

y-4=-\frac{3}{7}x

Add 4 to both sides we get;

y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Therefore, the equation best represents the trend line for the scatter plot is y=-\frac{3}{7}x+ 4

Y = (-3/7)x + 4

Looking at the graph, you can see the trend line plotted. And conveniently, there are a couple of points on the trend line that are indicated. Those points being (0,4) and (7,1). The equation of a line in slope intercept form is:y = ax+b

Looking at the points available, the point (0,4) already gives us the y intercept since x is equal to 0. So our equation becomes:
y = ax + 4

Now we need to determine a which is the slope. The slope is the change in y divided by the change in x. So let's do that
(1-4)/(7-0) = -3/7

And now our equation becomes:
y = (-3/7)x + 4

And given formatting issues, the first option available is the correct one.

Answer:

x = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello There!

create an equation

x + 51 + 60 + 80 = 180

combine like terms

51 + 60 + 80 = 191

x + 191 = 180

subtract 191 from each side

180 - 191 = -11

we're left with

x = -11

for a certain year, the combined revenues for PepsiCo and coca-cila were $51 billion. If the revenue for PepsiCo was $9billiin m
BlackZzzverrR [31]
So if the combined revenues were $51 billion. Then it would be best to divide that between the two companies as a starting point. Each company would have $25.5 billion if they were split 50-50. Since PepsiCo has 9 billion more than Coca-Cola. Simply take PepsiCo's value and add $9 billion to it, which would be $34.5 billion. Finally, take $51 billion, subtract it $34.5 billion, which is PepsiCo's value to get Coca-Cola's value, which is 16.5 billion for me.
