2x + 2y = 6 . . . . . (1)
x + 3y = -1 . . . . . (2)

(1) x 3 => 6x + 6y = 18 . . . . . (3)
(2) x 2 => 2x + 6y = -2 . . . . . (4)

(3) - (4) => 4x = 20
x = 20/4 = 5

Which expression can be simplified to find the slope of the trend line in the scatterplot?

Maslowich

Answer:

1. $\frac{24-79}{12-2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a graph of a scatter-plot and we are asked to find the correct expression than can be solved to find the slope of the trend line in the scatter-plot.

Since we know that slope of a line can be found by dividing the difference of the y-coordinates of 2 points on a line by difference of the x-coordinates of these same points.

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

We can see that (2,79) and (12,24) are two given points of our trend line. So let us substitute x and y-coordinates of our given points in slope formula to find the our desired expression.

$x_1=2$

$x_2=12$

$y_1=79$

$y_2=24$

$\text{Slope}=\frac{24-79}{12-2}$

Therefore, the expression $\text{Slope}=\frac{24-79}{12-2}$ can be solved to find the slope of the trend line in the scatter-plot and 1st option is the correct choice.
