Answer: Yes, I agree we should study number system in computing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hexadecimal numbers can be easily converted to binary numbers.
5.6% as a decimal is .056

Part A:
Slope of line is given by vertical distance ÷ horizontal distance
Let (8, 9) be (x₁, y₂) and (-2, 4) be (x₂, y₂)
The vertical distance is y₂ - y₁ = 4 - 9 = -5
The horizontal distance is x₂ - x₁ = -2 - 8 = -10
slope of the line = -5 ÷ -10 = 0.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part B
The point-slope form is given by
(y - y₁) = m (x - x₁)
We have the gradient, m = 0.5
(x₁, y₁) = (8, 9) ⇒ You can also use the other coordinate (-2, 4)
Substitute these value into the form, we have
(y - 9) = 0.5 (x - 8)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part C
The slope-intercept form is given by the equation
y = mx + c
Where m is the slope gradient and c is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis. We don't have the value of c at the moment but we can find out by simplifying the equation in part B
y - 9 = 0.5 (x - 8) ⇒ Multiplying out the bracket
y - 9 = 0.5x - 4
y = 0.5x - 4 + 9
y = 0.5x + 5 ⇒ This the slope-intercept form
You can construct a residual plot, plotting the x values against the values of the residuals; if there is a non-linear pattern in the residual plot then it would not be suitable to use linear regression, whilst if there is no noticeable pattern (ie. the points are randomly scattered) then the relationship is linear and a line of best fit could be appropriate.
