Answer:
3.471 + 7.2516 x
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the data:
(1,3) (2,0) (5,-8) (9, -25) .
X:
1
2
5
9
Y:
3
0
-8
-25
The line of best fit for the data given can be obtained using an online regression calculator :
The equation of best fit for the data is thus;
Best fit equation; y = -3.471 + 7.2516x
Intercept = - 3.471 ;
Slope = 7.2516
Given:
The scale of a map is 
.
The distance between two buildings is 60 miles.
To find:
The distance between the given building on the map.
Solution:
We have,
It means, 80 miles in real life = 
on the map.
1 mile in real life = 
on the map.
60 mile in real life = 
on the map.
= 
on the map.
= 
on the map.
Therefore, the buildings are apart on the map.
Answer:
W=17
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
e. 10√30
Step-by-step explanation:
In this right triangle geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means that the ratio of long side to hypotenuse is the same for all triangles:
x/(10+50) = 50/x
Multiplying by 60x, we have ...
x^2 = 3000
x = 10√30 . . . . . take the square root. Matches choice E.
_____
<em>Comment on estimating</em>
You're looking for x. Examining the figure, you see that x is the long side of the triangle with hypotenuse 10+50=60, so it will be shorter than that value. x is also the hypotenuse of the triangle with long side 50. So, x will be longer than 50.
The only answer choice with a value between 50 and 60 is choice E.
You don't even need to know how to find x. You only need to know that the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle.
