Answer:

The function is y~=~12 ~-~ 0.5 \cdot x.

The slope is m=-0.5.

The y-intercept is b=12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our aim is to calculate the values <em>m</em> (slope) and <em>b</em> (y-intercept) in the equation of a line :

y=mx+b

We have the following data:

\begin{array}{c|cccc}x&2&4&6&12\\y&11&10&9&6\end{array}

To find the line of best fit for the points given, you must:

Step 1: Find X\cdot Yand X\cdot X as it was done in the table below.

Step 2: Find the sum of every column:

\sum{X} = 24 ~,~ \sum{Y} = 36 ~,~ \sum{X \cdot Y} = 188 ~,~ \sum{X^2} = 200

Step 3: Use the following equations to find <em>b</em> and <em>m</em>:

\begin{aligned}        b &= \frac{\sum{Y} \cdot \sum{X^2} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{XY} }{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2} =             \frac{ 36 \cdot 200 - 24 \cdot 188}{ 4 \cdot 200 - 24^2} \approx 12 \\ \\m &= \frac{ n \cdot \sum{XY} - \sum{X} \cdot \sum{Y}}{n \cdot \sum{X^2} - \left(\sum{X}\right)^2}        = \frac{ 4 \cdot 188 - 24 \cdot 36 }{ 4 \cdot 200 - \left( 24 \right)^2} \approx -0.5\end{aligned}

Step 4: Assemble the equation of a line

\begin{aligned} y~&=~b ~+~ m \cdot x \\y~&=~12 ~-~ 0.5 \cdot x\end{aligned}

The graph of the regression line is:

Find the least common denominator of 7/20 and 3/28
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given two fractions \frac{7}{20} and \frac{3}{28}. We are asked to find the least common denominator of both fractions.

To find the least common denominator of both fractions, we will find least common multiple of 20 and 28.

Prime factorization of 20: 2\times 2\times 5

Prime factorization of 28: 2\times 2\times 7

Least common multiple of 20 and 28 would be: 2\times 2\times 7\times 5=140.

Therefore, the least common denominator of both fractions would be 140.

What would be the equation for #23???
Rufina [12.5K]
Hi there!

Let r be the number of matches that Rebecca's team won.

We know that Katheryn's team won 9 more matches than Rebecca's team, and we know that Katheryn's team won 52 matches.

Using this given information, we can create the following equation.

r+9=52

If you wish to solve this, we can subtract both sides by 9 to get the following value for r.

r=43

Have an awesome day! :)
